| 1 | Equilibrium | "One Folk" | single | The essence of globalist humanism is saying that we are all one in your own roaring language. |
| 2 | Anaal Nathrakh | "Endarkenment" | single | Nihilist grotesques agree, at least, that none of us are immune to apocalypse, |
| 3 | Duma | "Corners in Nihil" | Duma | and in shared despair there is at least a grounding for hope. |
| 4 | Saltatio Mortis | "Für immer jung" | Für immer jung +2 | It can't take us all is tautologically credible, |
| 5 | ENGST | "Wieder da" | single | because we definitely won't live to be proven wrong. |
| 6 | Gojira | "Another World" | single | There are other worlds is a fantasist's response to petty dominance in this one, |
| 7 | DGM | "Flesh and Blood" | single | and the willingness to imagine the rules and striations of an invented realm |
| 8 | Seas on the Moon | "Opium" | single | is the base of an avenging bridge back to this one. |
| 9 | Black Rose Maze | "Earth Calling" | Black Rose Maze | We scrape against the void as we spin, |
| 10 | Reasons Behind | "(E)met" | single | and against our own lungs as we breathe, |
| 11 | Flowerleaf | "We Will Stand (United)" | single | and these abrasions are bows along our veins and wires |
| 12 | Canterra | "No Bitter End" | Heartmachine | and resonant chambers of the heart. |
| 13 | Unlucky Morpheus | "Unending Sorceress" | Unfinished | Long ago we traded the last magic for the first lever, |
| 14 | Kite | "Bowie ´95" | Teenage Bliss / Bowie ´95 2 | and we've had centuries to wonder whether this was a trick disguised as a bargain, |
| 15 | Kat Saul | "Monsters" | single | or a gift disguised as a trick, |
| 16 | LÉON | "Chasing A Feeling" | single | or just the way that truth amuses itself by varying its modes of arrival and transport. |
| 17 | MC Yallah | "Emcees" | single | The lever was a way to mischaracterize cultural problems |
| 18 | BABii | "BEAST - 1011 REMiiX" | single | as issues of fulcrum placement, |
| 19 | ZOMBIE-CHANG | "GOLD TRANCE" | TAKE ME AWAY FROM TOKYO | and a font of distracting arguments about where to move rocks that were fine where they already sat, |
| 20 | Tkay Maidza | "Awake" | Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 2 | but also a metaphor of release, |
| 21 | Marlowe | "Spring Kick" | Marlowe 2 | and a manifesto of possibility, |
| 22 | d0llywood1 | "ihonestlymightjustgiveup" | single | and a revelation that lifted us up, inches at a time. |
| 23 | Bully | "Hours and Hours" | Hours and Hours +2 | Victories are all like this: |
| 24 | Stand Atlantic | "Blurry" | Pink Elephant | misunderstandings given new codifications, |
| 25 | Rews | "Razorblade" | Warriors | and false endings postered over perilous outsets, |
| 26 | SCARLET | "#bossbitch" | single | and the only way to make the tiny increments of progress |
| 27 | PEDRO | "pistol in my hand" | single | out of which all real progress is assembled. |
| 28 | Starmarie | "KonomamaMonster" | single | Neither will a coronavirus vaccine deliver Belarus or America from autocracy, |
| 29 | NEO JAPONISM | "Subliminal" | single | at least not technically, |
| 30 | Ebisu★Muscats | "PUZZLE" | DIGITAL NOISE 4 | but the correlation between government by belligerent ignorance |
| 31 | cawaful tornado | "innocence" | single | and death by preventable contagion |
| 32 | kobore | "るるりらり" | 風景になって | is hard to miss, and even harder to justify. |
| 33 | Dir En Grey | "落ちた事のある空(Ochita Koto no Aru Sora) - Radio Edit Ver." | single | We were probably never really great, |
| 34 | SHIN | "RE:" | RE: +2 | but we were definitely better in 2016. |
| 35 | Da-iCE | "DREAMIN' ON - アニメver." | single | I dream of a president willing to sit down at the Oval Office desk and hit Undo until the room longer stinks of moldering hair, |
| 36 | EdGE | "Unfuck the world: end up with pop culture" | single | and the country no longer of an aristocracy of grifters, |
| 37 | HUNGER | "HAZERU" | SHITATSUZUMI | and then stand up one last graceful time and give the chair to the unseated. |
| 38 | Earthists. | "SUNBLOOD" | single | And then we will wipe off our levers and get back to making progress by inches: |
| 39 | Expander | "Cryptosteal" | single | against manifest destiny recast as cryogenic utopianism; |
| 40 | 7xvn | "Jealousy" | single | against complacent placidity rebranded as lifestyle; |
| 41 | Capoxxo | "Hmu on Discord" | single | against loneliness and too much fear of loneliness; |
| 42 | PEZZHEAD | "Summer Nightzz" | single | against both art lost in its own method and the premature abandonment of the speculatively lost; |
| 43 | Sólstafir | "Akkeri" | single | against lines drawn on the ground or along the seabed; |
| 44 | Incantation | "Fury's Manifesto" | Entrails of the Hag Queen 3 | against cheap magic sold as a bargain replacement for precious anger; |
| 45 | Wintaar | "A World in the Axe's Shadow" | Streams of the Paleghosts | against unwillingness to enumerate the sacraments we have to destroy; |
| 46 | Batushka | "IRMOS I" | "RASKOL" | against systems of planet-sharing that are structural guarantors |
| 47 | Selbst | "The Weight of Breathing" | Relatos De Angustia | of periodic exploding harbors, |
| 48 | DVSR | "Devil on My Shoulder" | West Technique | or the elevation of demagogues or billionaires, |
| 49 | Becko | "Die Lit In Akihabara" | INNER SELF | or burning towers or towns, |
| 50 | Atrium | "Beta" | single | or EMTs shot in their own homes. |
| 51 | sleepmakeswaves | "embraced" | these are not your dreams | I want to hug my friends again. |
| 52 | Good Tiger | "1252" | Raised in a Doomsday Cult | I am already exhausted by this momentary Dark Age, |
| 53 | Nebula Orionis | "Purple Dusk" | Riftgate 3 | impatient to return to the existential terrors already in progress. |
| 54 | Deep Purple | "The Power of the Moon" | Whoosh! | Some of these fires are gambling houses we can allow to burn down. |
| 55 | Platinum Overdose | "Back in Your City" | single | Some of these absurd quarantine haircuts are kind of an improvement. |
| 56 | Lionville | "You're Not Alone" | Magic is Alive | Some of these days are filled with asses we just can't seem to find, |
| 57 | Arctic Rain | "Lift Me Up" | The One | and least not without a lever to lift up each rock an inch. |
| 58 | Janet Gardner | "Running to Her" | Synergy | But a lot of this is our own self-destructive fault. |
| 59 | PRIZM | "Can't Bring Me Down" | Can't Bring Me Down | We keep running to a two-party political system |
| 60 | Moonrunner83 | "Dreaming Again" | Dreaming Again (feat. N A T V E S) | and a thousand other franchised artificial binaries |
| 61 | Keith Urban | "Change Your Mind" | single | to answer questions we have asked wrong. |
| 62 | The People The Poet | "Birdie Song - Demo" | The Light of Day (B Sides and Demos) | Most of the love songs we are still trying to write are blocked not by separation but by self-doubt. |
| 63 | Songhoy Blues | "Badala" | Badala +1 | Maybe we can finish them now that we know they are meant for a world. |
| 64 | Vanesa Martín | "Universo Tarifa" | single | I miss people I don't even know. I want to feel another country's air on my skin again. |
| 65 | Sofie Svensson & Dom Där | "Rockstar" | single | I miss places I haven't been yet, and the barely distinguishable airports I would walk through on the way. |
| 66 | Anne-Marie | "To Be Young (feat. Doja Cat)" | single | I believe we are all one, |
| 67 | Kate Miller-Heidke | "Deluded" | Deluded +1 | but you have to check your beliefs in person if you really want to be sure. |
| 68 | Christia Visser | "Ek Is Net 'n Mens" | Gemaklik Verlore | We count the innumerable ends of the earth |
| 69 | Makhadzi | "Muya Wanga" | single | from the internet traces of a hundred dance videos that all claim to be official. |
| 70 | Yemi Alade | "True Love" | single | We hear each other through the walls, and through our masks, |
| 71 | Lxg | "Die Nor Dae" | Die Nor Dae | and these temporary walls and masks are not victories, |
| 72 | Tsuki Amano | "Namakemono" | 19 Box | or all too much like most of the victories we thought we had won. |
| 73 | Rian Treanor | "Hypnic Jerks" | single | If you can't move the rock with the lever you have, hit it and see if it at least makes an interesting sound. |
| 74 | FRNGE | "FEVER DREAM" | DISTORTED SONGS FOR DISTORTED PEOPLE 5 | The rock is probably not the problem. It's not even your rock. |
| 75 | Midnight Oil | "Gadigal Land (feat. Dan Sultan, Joel Davison, Kaleena Briggs & Bunna Lawrie)" | single | The guy who sold it to you, it wasn't his rock either. |
| 76 | First to Eleven | "Killing in the Name" | single | But when they show up to ask you what you are going to do with that rock, and you're standing there with a crowbar in your hand, you better have an answer. |
| 77 | American Hi-Fi | "Steppin' Out" | Anywhere Else but Here 5 | Like: It's been here forever. Don't you want to know what's under it? |
| 78 | The Animal In Me | "Oops!... I Did It Again" | single | Like: Pull with me. Maybe this is our way out. |
