Buck Meek, “Gasoline” (2026)
Hold on. I like a Buck Meek song? THAT Buck Meek?! Up is down! Sweet is sour! Anything is possible!
OMD, “Radio Waves” (1983)
Massively underrated part of OMD is those sharp bass parts.
The Pretenders, “Louie Louie” (1981)
Pure energy.
José González, “Against the Dying of the Light” (2026)
He’s just never going to let us down, is he?

The Wedding Present, “Grand Prix” (2025)
If The Wedding Present is ever bad, it’ll break my heart. Good thing I don’t have to worry about that happening.
The Magnetic Fields, “Love Goes Home To Paris In The Spring” (1992)
The House of Tomorrow is a massively underrated spot in the MFing MFs discography. Specifically, underrated by me until recently.
MEMORIALS, “Cut Glass Hammer” (2026)
I’ll say it again: one of the great trends of recent years is The Youth getting really into Stereolab.
Yo La Tengo, “Upside Down” (1992)
YLT wasn’t really on my radar at the time, and I know their output is massive, so I shouldn’t be surprised to stumble on a song I didn’t know and love it. And yet. Here I am.
Bad Bunny, “Tití Me Preguntó” (2022)
The middle aged white guy who got into Bad Bunny after the Super Bowl show is any levels of cringe (so is that same guy saying “cringe”), but I’m not ashamed, because I am OBSESSED with this song.
