| 1 | Maria w Horn | "Earthward Arcs" | Earthward Arcs +1 | I don't mind pausing. |
| 2 | Susanna | "Alchemy of Suffering" | Baudelaire & Orchestra | I don't mind being asked to pause, to pay attention again to a serious and previously stated thought. |
| 3 | julek ploski | "Martini, armani" | single | The world is serious, |
| 4 | Flashini | "MAT181-5NAS" | MAT181-5NAS +1 | or at least it can be taken seriously, |
| 5 | Beverly Glenn-Copeland | "Love Takes All" | The Ones Ahead | or left. |
| 6 | Hanna Benn | "The Line" | single | I believe this, but I can only act like I believe it for short hums of world-empathic solemnity. |
| 7 | Ziúr | "Nontrivial Differential" | Eyeroll | I try to focus grimly on suffering, but I get distracted by its contours, |
| 8 | Din of Celestial Birds | "MMEC" | single | by the urgency of our self-destructive energy, |
| 9 | Friendship Commanders | "Vampire" | Vampire +3 | by the bright colors swirled through the worst forecasts. |
| 10 | The Haunt | "OK" | OK 5 | You're trying to tell me how you hurt, |
| 11 | Dystopica | "Far From Perfect" | single | and I swear I'm listening, |
| 12 | Anatomy of the Sacred | "Narcissi" | Ashes to Ashes 6 | but also I'm kind of dancing. |
| 13 | Beyond The Black | "Call My Name" | single | You might blame yourself for putting your pain into a song, |
| 14 | SinHeresY | "The Life You Left Behind" | single | but these are just the most obvious cases. |
| 15 | Scarlett | "Cold" | single | We are foolishly magnificent, |
| 16 | Celestial Ruin | "Lost My Mind" | single | and often irresistible at our worst. |
| 17 | Daedric | "Titan" | Titan | But this is all even more true in reverse: |
| 18 | Fate DeStroyed | "Peace With the Devil" | single | we are transformative and profound when we are only trying to make an indignant and enthralling noise. |
| 19 | Kaleido | "MISERY" | single | We are right when we are distracted, |
| 20 | Conquer Divide | "N E W H E A V E N" | N E W H E A V E N 5 | and true in our idle and private figures. |
| 21 | CELAVI | "SOLUM" | DOLOREM | We confuse gravity and weight, |
| 22 | senses | "one last time" | one last time +3 | self-awareness and wisdom, |
| 23 | Georgia | "Mountain Song" | Euphoric | symmetry and destiny. |
| 24 | Carly Rae Jepsen | "Anything to Be With You" | The Loveliest Time | We set so earnestly out to solve problems, |
| 25 | Soccer Mommy | "Soak Up The Sun" | single | but our arms swing beside us even as we walk out the door, |
| 26 | Slow Pulp | "Doubt" | Doubt +2 | in elegant, rhythmic arcs. |
| 27 | Middle Kids | "Highlands" | Highlands +1 | Give me your heart, we're just getting started. |
| 28 | NOVACUB | "TALK TO ME!" | single | Walking is like dancing, |
| 29 | YONAKA | "By The Time You're Reading This" | Welcome To My House | and reminding ourselves of our problems |
| 30 | BLOXX | "Weight In Gold" | single | is like practicing a chorus of dismay |
| 31 | Bronnie | "Ur Ex Gf" | Ur Ex Gf +3 | until the harmony takes it up. |
| 32 | SKIES | "If Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder, You Better Stay Away a Little Longer" | single | And then it's up. |
| 33 | Worriers | "Top 5" | Top 5 +1 | Make a list of the top 5 ways we can understand each other, |
| 34 | Bad Cop, Bad Cop | "Shattered" | single | of the top 20 panoramic views from dog parks, |
| 35 | Sick Love | "Holly" | single | of the top 100 solutions to a problem you only ever had once. |
| 36 | Georgia | "The Dream" | Euphoric | We will write wistful songs in which we were gloriously sad when we should have been terrified, |
| 37 | V V Brown | "Marginalised" | single | sinuously forgetting how we were really both. |
| 38 | Carly Rae Jepsen | "Weekend Love" | The Loveliest Time | Distraction starts out as an oblique strategy, |
| 39 | Pia Fraus | "Evening Colours" | Evening Colours | and spins us around and around until we end up pointing any direction, |
| 40 | Daguerreotype | "Holy Margin" | Scandalous Acts of Grace 4 | oblique or acute or adorable, |
| 41 | Roxi Drive | "Obsession" | single | trying to catch a glance of ourselves in some flat surface |
| 42 | BUNNY | "Lonely Together" | single | only to be surprised, again, that we never look like ourselves to ourselves |
| 43 | Blinding Sunrise | "Here I Stand" | single | from anywhere other than straight on until morning. |
| 44 | Broken By The Scream | "Rising sun" | Whitewater Park 5 | Our dreams only unravel to reveal luminous threads |
| 45 | NEO JAPONISM | "Dear" | Dear +3 | that can outline the edges of new paths: |
| 46 | GARNiDELiA | "My Code" | single | to the top 200 cities you must visit |
| 47 | MindaRyn | "HAPPY LIFE" | BLACK STAR 3 | before you choose a new moisturizer, |
| 48 | クレナズム | "8gatsu31nichi" | single | to the top 500 integer factors of the number of moons, |
| 49 | the pullovers | "よるべの灯台" | single | to the top 1000 quiet smiles of strangers. |
| 50 | COLLAPSE | "PATH" | single | Standing, too, is like dancing. |
| 51 | Plastic Girl In Closet | "Ramune River" | single | Your heart is beating. We are integrals of rhythms. |
| 52 | YU-KA | "sugar" | single | But this is the only way we move. |
| 53 | Utsu-P | "下品 (feat. Ci flower)" | single | Our austere auditors reject each brick because it cannot reach the sky; |
| 54 | IRabBits | "サンキューフォーザ・バンドマン" | single | we nod our apologetic acceptance of their judgment, |
| 55 | Huwie Ishizaki | "宇宙百景" | 宇宙百景 | and carefully place those bricks onto the next layer of the tower of tiny discarded hopes. |
| 56 | ハルカミライ | "YAEN" | single | Does our plan now become clear? |
| 57 | Mr.FanTastiC | "ユエニ" | single | It's not a plan, though, it's just that we can't keep feeling desperate all the time. |
| 58 | XAAXAA | "HISYATAI HA SHITAI" | HISYATAI HA SHITAI +2 | We are trapped in tingling sheaths that can't do it, |
| 59 | WagakkiBand | "宵ノ花" | I vs I | that can't not be thrilled by the dawn-like glow of imminent apocalypse, |
| 60 | Mira Ceti | "Tebeh dino" | Himest Mesi | by how unwanted armor moves against our skin, |
| 61 | Vǫluspá | "Wyrd" | single | by how the scents of individual fears blend together into defiant aura, |
| 62 | Heldom | "Vísdómr" | single | by how our bright swords whir, restlessly, as we anticipate signals. |
| 63 | Reino de Hades | "La Reina Oscura" | Siete Runas | Our personifications of our threats are invariably and indelibly alluring, |
| 64 | Duskmourn | "The Herald and The Wanderer" | single | not because we don't know the difference between terror and beauty, |
| 65 | Lokust | "The Sin of Doubt" | Infidel | but because every metaphor of fear reminds us of converse longings, |
| 66 | Waldgeflüster | "Unter bronzenen Kronen" | single | and we can't look at the smooth surface of blood velvet |
| 67 | Stortregn | "Xeno Chaos" | single | without imagining how the other side of it would feel against our arms, |
| 68 | Arch Echo | "Angry Sprinkles" | Final Pitch | or as the bound spines of the volumes of a history of chords and glass. |
| 69 | Organ Dealer | "Solitude Is Death" | The Weight of Being | Our rash graffiti of loathing self-assemble into sigils of reconciliation; |
| 70 | PEZZHEAD | "Yahweh" | single | our incompatible scriptures distill to the same crystalline structures of belief |
| 71 | aldrch | "tongues" | tongues +1 | we need in order to think of ourselves as not only the sources |
| 72 | Shamir | "The Beginning" | The Beginning +2 | but the authors |
| 73 | The Clientele | "Fables of the Silverlink" | I Am Not There Anymore | of truth. |
| 74 | S. Carey | "Steadfast (feat. Gordi)" | Steadfast (feat. Gordi) +1 | Our corrupt decadences begin as cheerful envy, |
| 75 | Lamori | "Never Alone" | single | and only foment into jealous enmity in the humidity of vigorous neglect. |
| 76 | The Kite String Tangle | "Good Catch" | Good Catch +3 | There were years, maybe decades, during which a few fond interventions might have shown a petulant brat how to hold a paper book with soft but clean hands, |
| 77 | Álvaro De Luna | "Rockstar" | single | or why you cannot excel at bottled water or midtown taco bowls or loveless parenting, |
| 78 | División Minúscula | "Beso a La Medida" | Escombros | or what to store or not store in cardboard boxes in a bathroom. |
| 79 | Madmans Esprit | "Hass und Ignoranz" | single | We all begin lost, foundlings of an ethereal and forgotten people |
| 80 | ENGST | "Drei Uhr nachts" | Drei Uhr nachts +1 | who would have known how to conduct this history |
| 81 | Madsen | "Brücken" | single | with more grace and fewer emissions. |
| 82 | NateWantsToBattle | "To Let Go" | single | We see their silhouettes, sometimes, in the planes of our avatars. |
| 83 | Francois van Coke | "The Real Thing" | The Real Thing +2 | We hear their accents in our translations, |
| 84 | Winter | "Dream Chaser" | single | their voices in our redactions, |
| 85 | Tag My Heart | "Sometimes" | Tag My Heart | their sharp inhalations when we flinch towards absurd self-defeating tribalism. |
| 86 | The Ultimate Heroes | "Uhaw (Tayong Lahat)" | single | Our ultimate heroes are new versions of ourselves, trivially recognizable in new clothes they based on old pictures |
| 87 | Buds. | "Medicinal Cathedral" | single | of us in our driveway on a summer morning, |
| 88 | Fatherson | "Piece Of Mind" | single | or poems we once wrote about places we had so far only seen in movies. |
| 89 | Glen Hansard | "The Feast Of St. John" | single | We get there, years later, if we're lucky and the places are patient, |
| 90 | Allman Brown | "Bewildered" | single | and usually the first thing we realize we left out, in our imagining, |
| 91 | Voyce | "Atemzug" | single | is that we are there. |
| 92 | Kina Grannis | "here" | single | We imagine futures in which other people, conjectural and amorphous, |
| 93 | Mitski | "Bug Like an Angel" | single | are scrunched into battery-powered cars with bad radios and our parents' color-schemes, |
| 94 | Clara Klingenström | "Blommorna på min tapet" | single | and the steering wheels on some third side we would never accept as a compromise. |
| 95 | Bethany Cosentino | "Natural Disaster" | Natural Disaster | But you can drive to the future in the car you already have, |
| 96 | Belles | "Break Up With Your Ex" | single | in the clothes you put on this morning because you have nothing special planned and these are the things you don't save to wear when you do. |
| 97 | Reyna Roberts | "One Way Street" | single | You can walk to the future. You can get there by standing still. |
| 98 | Melissa Etheridge | "Juliet" | single | You get there how you do, and the future is full of songs from your past that you've never heard before, |
| 99 | Mitchell Tenpenny | "Bigger Mistakes" | single | and they sound like what you used to want |
| 100 | Eric Paslay | "Best Damn Days" | single | before you got it. |
| 101 | Werd (SOS) | "First Rap" | The Unplanned EP 5 | The future is serious, but the past was once going to be serious, too. Remember? |
| 102 | Conscious Route | "Galactic (feat. Wends)" | Galactic 4 | We were so helplessly earnest as we tried to master sarcasm, |
| 103 | Rivilin | "Calcify" | single | thinking that the trick to not getting old is never believing anything that can turn anger into process. |
| 104 | Mr Traumatik | "Hermes Trismegistus" | My family thinks im crazy | Dude, I don't think you're crazy, and I don't know how seriously you mean this goofy persona to be taken, but I want to like your songs and about 95% of the time I am unable to because you're saying things that are dumber than they are funny. |
| 105 | Spice | "Le We Wind" | Spice | Spice probably thinks she has knowledge in her forehead, too, but transferring knowledge is a full-body activity, not a headbutt. |
| 106 | 071 NELLY THE MASTER BEAT | "Moshomo" | single | Fewer moldy mushrooms, more dancing. |
| 107 | Blaq Diamond | "Impi Yothando" | single | Fewer chemtrail conspiracy theories, more getting on planes and letting them put the trails behind you. |
| 108 | Son of Africa | "Son of Africa (Undishiyile dance beat)" | single | Some of what you've come to rely upon as trauma is only history fermented in fear. |
| 109 | Gadla Nxumalo | "Umuzi Nengadi" | single | You're trying to tell me about things that our ancestors did to each other, |
| 110 | Somnandi | "NGAWA NGASHELELELA" | single | and I swear I'm listening, |
| 111 | Mazilankatha Lo Dumo Lwabantwana | "Ndodana kaBaba" | Phakama Sthunywa | but I'm also trying to learn how to internalize this beat like I absorbed the ones I grew up with, |
| 112 | David Jones David | "Bulelela" | single | and if our ancestors had been obsessed with this, it would have saved us a few centuries of horror. |
| 113 | Eesti Noorte Muusikaliteater | "Vist Ongi Nii" | single | I believe this, and I can believe it 20 times an hour for days on end. |
| 114 | Phil Wickham | "People Of Heaven" | single | Your ridiculous stories of what awaits us are ridiculous first in time, and second in place. |
| 115 | Whispers In The Shadow | "Majesty & Torment (Abyss Mix)" | Majesty & Torment (Single) | All that majesty and torment is here already, now. |
| 116 | Petbrick | "Singularity 10: Sleepless Eternal" | single | We try to focus on the laborious redress of suffering, and the labor seems as eternal as the imaginary reward. |
| 117 | Minority 905 | "Mine" | single | We are fall risks with a fear of flying. |
| 118 | Rain Paris | "Lights" | single | We forget to tell ourselves that we'll be strong, |
| 119 | PRIZM | "Don't Stop" | Don't Stop +2 | that the future will be different because we'll be there and we'll make it be different. |
