this album rocks. it just feels like everyone in the band was firing on all cylinders. every little imperfection makes it so much more charming. everyone wants to shit on the lead guy’s vocals and bad lyrics or the weird MIDI keyboard frogs on The Perfect Kiss but i think this album has so much unique charm to it. Elegia is one of the coldest tracks ever recorded.

This albums kicks so much ass and they are so goofy and never take themselves too seriously. One of the best albums of 2024 imo.

Been revisiting this album after their new album "LL" came out - Such a refreshing blend of constructively applied electroclash inspiration and an inspiring look towards a return to rock in an increasingly pop-saturated industry. One of the few acts to break out recently that has felt worthwhile to follow and unashamedly advocating for their vision, even if it comes with the braggadocious frills of your typical sleazebag rockers.

You’re gonna jump if AG (and Finn Keane) made it. This album came out after everyone had already published their “best of 2023” and is therefore criminally overlooked. Although Soft Rock is wide-ranging in genre (from the guitar-driven rock of Sentence to the neo-medieval lament O Fortuna), emotion (from the proto-brat Heavy to the heartbreaking Lost Everything), and theme (love, friendship, myth, the music industry), it comes together into a remarkably cohesive and fully skipless jewel box of an album.

one of my favorite, most slept-on bands ever. cheesy 80s pop that has no right to be as lyrically impressive and self-aware as it is. also they did a mostly instrumental record in 2003 called I Trawl the Megahertz that’s all string arrangements with radio interview samples blended in if that’s more your thing. awesome range, Cars and Girls was my most listened to song of 2024. also the singer dresses like that now so u know he’s the real deal

part 1:
1. psychic detective, heard about this while researching the game’s director, John Sanborn, who is a dope video artist
2. don’t remember how i found this but it’s a giant pdf publication of weird art stuff
3. i think someone on reddit was talking about mods you can make to your office chair so you don’t fuck your floors up which led me to check out these casters. BIG fan of casters tbh.
4. don’t remember how i found this either, looks cool
5. loveee this Cristina album cover and my dumb ass saw the (VERY FAMOUS) grace jones album cover by jean paul goude and was like “no way they ripped off Cristina!!!” but it was the same guy lol
