I liked Simulation Theory as is, but the extended version has a lot of cool experiments like this that, imo, actually work better than the originals. The Gospel version of Dig Down is very cool, and the acoustic cover of Something Human is lovely.
This is fascinating (and unsettling). I had no idea.
I’m romancing Shadow (and also Gale, apparently), and when Lae’zel found out she basically said, “your loss, istik. I’mma go bang Wyll.”
Respect.

Ezra is a practical soul at heart, no matter what he says.
note to self 📖🖋️ Watch out for Laura.
To assume something isn’t true based solely on the fact that you’ve never experienced it demonstrates a profound lack of empathy and critical thought. So does taking the time to complain about trans people in a meme instead of having an actual conversation with another human being.
If you take the time to do the latter instead, you might develop a shred of empathy, but you’re afraid to, because that might mean you have to admit that you’re wrong.
I know this is obvious, but Cash’s beliefs are endlessly fascinating. The same man who recorded “Ragged Old Flag” also wrote “Man in Black” and covered “Out Among the Stars.” The latter is a song about a kid who commits suicide by cop because he doesn’t feel like his life matters.
I don’t know what memes I expected to see today, but I certainly wasn’t expecting a Warriors one. Well played.
Three people come to mind right away:
Karen O for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
And while she’s not an alt artist per se, this is a cover of an alternative song, so I’mma post it anyway, lol. I love Brandi and Catherine Carlile’s version of Closer to Fine
And the Clone Wars, and the dark times, and the Rebellion, and…
Clairo’s Sofia is a catchy song and a sweet romance.
Looks like these versions will actually have discs, unlike last time. Lol.
If you’re okay with paying a subscription, SiriusXM’s Alt Nation is the main one I listen to.
Second choices:
I know it’s not the most original choice, but I’m sticking to my guns: One Headlight is the best driving song you could ask for.
Snow Crash feels more prescient every day.
Are we doing 90s ballads? I’m down.
It’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe/ Maybe this year will be better than the last/ I can’t remember all the times I tried to tell myself/ To hold on to these moments as they pass
This is one of my favorite songs ever written!
Nyyyyooow PEW PEW PEW Nyyyyooow
And here I thought I’d already listened to Dear Hank and John this morning.
