| 1 | a crowd of rebellion | "Meteor" | Zealot City | The path runs through the woods to the river, |
| 2 | SECONDWALL | "Rain" | single | except without the woods, because I live next to a biotech arcology, |
| 3 | 藤川千愛 | "ありのままで" | ありのままで / バケモノと呼ばれて 2 | and in "path" I include anything marked green on Google Maps. |
| 4 | 斉藤 朱夏 | "月で星で太陽だ!" | SUNFLOWER 6 | The river is real, though, |
| 5 | MERRY BAD END | "Restart" | Restart +2 | and I run laps around it, |
| 6 | Devil ANTHEM. | "Yuganda Sekai ga Reality" | single | mostly alone and not early enough to justify this isolation, |
| 7 | Omoi | "In Case You're Gonna Jump" | If You Jump 2 | waiting for the reeking chaos to recoalesce. |
| 8 | BASEMENT PROPHECY | "Guardians of the Light" | single | All these songs, then, become running songs. |
| 9 | Eleine | "Memoriam" | single | I loop through the expansive initial drafts of these playlists over the course of each week, |
| 10 | Snow White Blood | "Longing For the Sea" | Hope Springs Eternal | in reluctant subtractive judgment, |
| 11 | Therion | "Leviathan" | single | and the runs are shorter than the songs of the injured and defiant world, |
| 12 | Amahiru | "Lucky Star" | single | and thus routes and subsequence themes find strange resonances: |
| 13 | Seas on the Moon | "Break Out" | single | burrowing into oncoming rivershore wind to twice as many power-chirp J-pixie songs as I kept, |
| 14 | DIAMANTE | "I Love Myself For Hating You" | single | dodging Harborwalk turns to fairytale-metal arias, |
| 15 | Dead Sara | "Hands Up" | single | clattering across the locks as slow noises depart post-something for some new pre-something off-world colony. |
| 16 | Meg Myers | "True Liars" | I'd Like 2 Go Home Now 5 | The songs are new, so it's easy and often correct to imagine people making them |
| 17 | milet | "Who I Am" | single | now, |
| 18 | chloe moriondo | "GIRL ON TV" | GIRL ON TV +2 | as their own ritual circuits, |
| 19 | Terror Jr | "Bloody Waters" | Bloody Waters +3 | holding in fear of encroaching pandemic |
| 20 | Annabel Jones | "Spiritual Violence" | single | or insurrectional ignorance, |
| 21 | Anamanaguchi | "Jaime (feat. Jaime Brooks)" | single | or simply finally losing track of the days. |
| 22 | blackwinterwells | "Armageddon" | single | Every language has a way of dreaming. |
| 23 | hm.wav | "chew (u)" | single | This will be the era of hyperpop collaborations marshaled on Discord, |
| 24 | Nosgov | "laydowninyourbed" | single | by ghosts waiting for the next round of Among Us. |
| 25 | POORSTACY | "Nothing Left" | single | I run over hills |
| 26 | MISOGI | "Empty Since 16 (feat. Dylan Brady)" | little*stars 6 | shaped like bridges, |
| 27 | Sinxi | "Someday" | single | forwarding cadently through tracts of melodic glitchcore, |
| 28 | grandee | "rubber" | single | testing theories about my new hooks and triggers, |
| 29 | glaive | "eyesore" | single | weirdly not quite personally uninvolved. |
| 30 | All Wasted | "Towards the End" | Towards the End +2 | The essential malleability of music |
| 31 | W.E.T. | "Big Boys Don't Cry" | single | is that all anthems can be anthems of your own steps, |
| 32 | Pyramaze | "Bird of Prey" | Epitaph | welcoming you back to body-weights you have weighed before, |
| 33 | Shattered Skies | "Starbound" | single | to the nearest corners you've turned a thousand times |
| 34 | Intervals | "Luna[r]tic" | Circadian | or the farthest ones only just touched by your range. |
| 35 | Black Fate | "Maze" | single | I imagine the hesitant geese |
| 36 | Cadaveria | "Matryoshcada" | single | hearing passing djent thud from inside my head |
| 37 | Mitochondrial Sun | "Pulsar 3" | Sju Pulsarer | never getting to find out how the songs end. |
| 38 | Dark Buddha Rising | "Uni" | Mathreyata | I couldn't tell you, either. |
| 39 | Harakiri for the Sky | "Sing for the Damage We've Done" | single | The moment before a song ends, I twitch sideways out of the universe. |
| 40 | Jesu | "Terminus" | Terminus | Silences and fade-outs are far too apt, however mercifully brief. |
| 41 | Liturgy | "SIHEYMN's Lament" | single | All I ask is for the next one to begin. |
| 42 | Katla | "Húsavíkur-Jón" | Allt þetta Helvítis Myrkur | Any amount of in medias res |
| 43 | Soul Dissolution | "Where The Clouds Stand Still..." | Winter Contemplations 2 | keeps this interminable chapter notionally finite, |
| 44 | Décembre Noir | "Streets of Transience" | The Renaissance of Hope | however transhorizonal its boundaries. |
| 45 | Helsott | "Painless Journey of Death" | Woven | Some performative viking from the wrong continent's wrong coast hits a cymbal. |
| 46 | Tuatha de Danann | "The Tribes of Witching Souls" | The Tribes of Witching Souls | I come back. |
| 47 | Saurom | "Reina De Mis Sueños" | single | Today I turn left. |
| 48 | Saltatio Mortis | "Kaufmann und Maid" | single | I have turned left before, but not last time. |
| 49 | Alkonost | "Хладный Огонь Ночи" | Пиано Версия | I have run this way before, to songs like these, |
| 50 | Fuimadane | "Gagnsamr" | single | but not today, |
| 51 | Megara | "Truco o Trato" | single | and these specific ones are new, |
| 52 | Tamara | "No Quiero Nada Sin Ti" | Básicos 6 | and we can't be completely doomed while new songs still play |
| 53 | Steps | "Hold My Heart" | Hold My Heart 6 | alongside water still flowing. |
| 54 | Star Cassette | "Unspoken Minds" | single | It's disappointing to lose a lot of weight during a period when you also don't want to |
| 55 | Dani Fernández | "Puñales" | Puñales +1 | touch unsold pants in tiny rooms. |
| 56 | La Habitación Roja | "Taquicardia" | single | I bought a new belt, |
| 57 | Niccokick | "Love Can Be a Wonderful Thing" | single | but it's 2020, |
| 58 | HOTEI | "Dangerous" | single | so I bought it on Kickstarter |
| 59 | Alice Nine | "Toumei no tsubasa" | Wonderland With Black | and have to keep myself from using it to smash the monitor with the news feed. |
| 60 | Meg Myers | "Grizzly" | Thank U 4 Taking Me 2 The Disco 5 | Will we make movies about this year, |
| 61 | FAITH | "Last Will" | single | or will we all be too sick of it to ever go back and act it out? |
| 62 | Baby Queen | "Internet Religion" | Medicine 6 | Or, better, we could remember it away. |
| 63 | Linn Koch-Emmery | "Hologram Love" | single | Take the notes we need for future public health, |
| 64 | Yumi And The Weather | "The More I Hear the Less I Believe" | single | and then discard the rest: |
| 65 | The Churchhill Garden | "Reality" | single | the lockdowns and quarantines and fascism, |
| 66 | Bathe Alone | "Limbo" | single | the leaking ichor of bad-toothed clowns |
| 67 | Raketklubben | "Tjuv i randig tröja" | Raketklubben | or whatever the word is for clowns who would genuinely destroy everything if they weren't so incompetent, |
| 68 | LÜT | "Ingenting Å Angre På" | Ingenting Å Angre På | the canceled shows, |
| 69 | Sigur Rós | "Stendur æva (with Steindór Andersen, Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson and María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir)" | Stendur æva (with Steindór Andersen, Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson and María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir) +1 | the nights we didn't spend in Keflavik in between each other, |
| 70 | Sun-El Musician | "Mandinaye" | single | the loneliness and longing and all the light we had to make shine out of us to fight the darkness. |
| 71 | Mobi Dixon | "Andilibelanga (feat. NaakMusiQ)" | single | In their place, instead, we can just imagine the year we should have had, |
| 72 | UNJOKO | "Esami isiginxi" | Isiziba | awash in giddily unmasked cross-cultural romantic comedies |
| 73 | Lovers Turn To Monsters | "What about my planets?" | What About My Planets?/In Yr Face Space Coyote 2 | and social-democratic infrastructure improvements, |
| 74 | Defeatist UK | "Never Enough" | single | and RBG "accidentally" kicking Boris Johnson in the face while crowd-surfing on New Year's Eve. |
| 75 | Current Affairs | "West Side Lovers" | single | Let art do, literally, what it always does in effect, |
| 76 | Del Amitri | "Close Your Eyes and Think of England" | single | and tell us a story of how things could have been, |
| 77 | Texture | "Fall of a Golden Dawn" | User Illusions 3 | so that our potential is more vivid and present in our minds than our crimes and failures |
| 78 | Smoove'L | "Period." | single | as tomorrow starts. |
| 79 | Jucifer | "نساء الماء" | نظم | Let us tell, together, a story of how we went through this together, |
| 80 | envy | "Footsteps in the distance - Live at LIQUIDROOM Tokyo" | LAST WISH | Live at LIQUIDROOM Tokyo | assembled in grace and power, |
| 81 | Fly By Nightcore | "Ocean Eyes" | single | effortlessly changing shapes exactly as required. |
| 82 | Deine Lakaien | "Because the Night" | single | Recall the angels disguised as lust |
| 83 | 18th & Addison | "Dreams" | single | from their discontented exiles. |
| 84 | Ellefson | "Sheer Heart Attack" | single | Tear apart the flags. Line up the rendered stripes to make new solid colors, and vice versa. |
| 85 | The Animal In Me | "Better off Dead" | single | We can do better than this. |
| 86 | Crashing Atlas | "More Than A Feeling" | single | We don't, always, and we are reminded of this more often than we would like, |
| 87 | Roxette | "I Remember You - T&A Demo March 15, 1990" | Bag Of Trix Vol. 2 | but we can. We did. |
| 88 | Roxette | "Sleeping in My Car - The Stockholm Demo Version 1993" | Bag Of Trix Vol. 2 | Remember how we did? We were so brittle, but so strong beneath all the shells. |
