vibe: i can’t believe this shit. waking up to (another) war was almost as surprising as the day i woke up to learn our government kidnapped a president…for the oil.
perfect for: if you listen in order, there’s a dynamic arc so you too can cosplay as an “apolitical non-voter” getting radicalized over breakfast
fave track: “Speed or Perish” by Carpenter Brut. It feels like I got dropped right into Mortal Kombat and, boy, do i wish we’d all just F I N I S H H I M
most surprising: “Quiet Part Loud” by The Maine. i was obsessed with this band as a teenager and, like most childhood obsessions, I fell off the bandwangon (ba-dum-tiss). i was surprised to learn they also matured and stopped writing lyrics like “girls do what they want. woah woah”

I was wondering how you were going to share a track from the new Johnny Blue Skies … the world may never know.
