REALLY good mixing! Maybe not something I would go out of my way to listen to myself, but they're really good.

Okay, let's engage in some Phoebe Bridgers posting. If ever one of the members of boygenius could be called the bad girl, it would be disastrously-bisexual, perpetually bleach-blonde Phoebe, known for romantic misadventures, homewrecking, overt horniness, and general savagery. She also has historically been the most independently-successful and well-known member of the trio, and has collaborated with everyone from Connor Oberst to SZA.

MUNA and Jasmine4.t, of course, are both signed to Phoebe's record label, Saddest Factory, a sub-label of Dead Oceans. Unlike her boygenius bandmates Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, both of whom have released albums and toured since boygenius went on hiatus, Phoebe has made few appearances on stage and there's no suggestion of new music coming soon.

I'm really happy this topic has lasted so long. People like Fa and Kaillainanna and Blue_Thunder holding it down!

You know, I've been regretting that I can't link any tunes from Caroline Rose's latest album - "year of the slug" - which they did at home and recorded on their phone - because it isn't on any streaming sites (Caroline Rose hates them almost as much as she hates LiveNation), but then I realized they totally provided a free streaming link because you can do that when you self-release.

The best songs, IMO, are "everything in its right place" and "goddamned train", but it's overall pretty great. Though I am biased.

Gilagmesh may be dumber than a box of rocks, but he's inclusive!

Home Sweet Home - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNZsgVfFNbI
Bartz's hometown is tucked away in some mountains in World 1. Totally optional to ever go there, but it's worth it, just for the vibes.

The Evil Lord ExDeath - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQJJLei-ubQ
Yep, we're going GBA here. Dude's a hammy SatAM cartoon villain, right down to the lovably incompetent right-hand henchman. This isn't a serious game, roll with it

Musica Machina (Ronka Ruins) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDOg1_OkSRc
SNES. This sounds like beta Chrono Trigger.

Lenna's Theme - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4-Kat3Nvts
Lenna - suicidally devoted to every animal she's known for more than three seconds.

Pirates Ahoy! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaxKnFBJl4Y
This song sounds lovely in all the sound fonts, honestly.

Prelude to the Void - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qoh7GyAm6UI
This is honestly a really cool penultimate area.

Dimensional Rift - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjwQH0-a2F8
This feels determined though. We can't let ExDeath win, no matter how many terrible, terrible classes Gilgabot has cursed us with! Honestly think Dragoon and Geomancer are flat out worse than Berserker.

Well, I did the other two...I suppose I should I do the third - Lucy Dacus.

To be perfectly honest, I love her solo stuff a lot less than Phoebe's or Julien's. It's hard to put my finger on it exactly, but Lucy just does...less for me. This, in spite of the fact that she's the primary architect of 2 out of 3 of my favorite boygenius songs. Weird how that works, right?
Lucy is sweet, philosophical, wry, and possessed with a brutally effective deadpan. If I had to get sushi with one of the boys, it would be Lucy: she appreciates how fucking delicious eel is. She's eager to indulge in Phoebe's antics including Phoebe's war on public decency and, of course, is Julien Baker's girlfriend. But I'll try....

Solo
Night Shift - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDNjt2lHBO4
The quintessential Lucy Dacus song. It's legit fire. If only it were representative of her discography...

Kissing Lessons - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU1uynSjLvY
This one is sweet.

Modigliani - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTWg2QND5u4
This one is about Phoebe, apparently.

Most Wanted Man - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNQ07ZckqJA
And this one's about her lesbian boyfriend, Julien Baker. Apparently, before they met and Lucy knew her only as a name, she thought Julien was just some dude. Maybe she wasn't as far off the mark as she thought at first, considering Julien yeeted her teets...Lucy is 1000% the bottom and Phoebe and Jasmine and Chappell probably tease her about.

boygenius
True Blue - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_lIApYxIIE
The conclusion of "the film" - directed by Kristen Stewart! Also contains 200% more making out than the first two parts, so it's like...200% better. Yes, Lucy and Phoebe make out platonically.
But I think of two lovely ladies in my life when I listen to this song about the power of friendship...

We're in Love - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyaoGdQVSks
Primo lesbian wedding material. Is this about Julien too?

Afraid of Heights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB0YjuHYbPE
"...how we're caught in entropy. How it hurts to hope. Oh, it hurts to hope for more. Oh, it hurts to hope the future will be better than before."

Goddamn, E-40 has such a unique voice. And still has amazing breath control.

I remember hearing Fish Picker at Club Scum.

Nettles - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP0us82q1ck
Did you know Ethel Cain is a stage name/fictional character created by Hayden Anhednia? I feel fine posting her real name because she introduces herself as Hayden in the YouTube vids where she rambles about her special interests for 40+ minutes at a time. Anyway, this is the first song released from Willoughby Tucker, I Will Always Love You, which she says is a prequel to Preacher's Daughter. She wants to write a book some day.

Anyway, I really wanted to post a live version of the NOVA ONE song crying but YouTube gave it a...highly unfortunate link ID that prevents me from posting it.

Chappell Roan - Good Luck Babe (VMAs) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ENzV125lWc

Been vibing to this song by Citizen Soldier that described how I feel when I get all fucked up from depression.
https://youtu.be/QAujbq2Tms8?si=3a7eEnr9EML6Fr9R

Also their song Inner Critic but I already posted that somewhere.
Guys, if you have troubles with mental health and you don't know how to describe it or think nobody else understands, you've gotta listen to this guy's lyrics. I will never not recommend Citizen Soldier.

New Constellations - Hot Blooded (for NPR tinydesk)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AWMVYGj72s
This song has become emblematic of grad school for me: it is pervaded with a sense of deep exhaustion, of being at your limit, but still having further to go, just a little bit more...

But also freeze my pops, it's Brainpower!
...wait, you mean to tell me she named the band Freezepop!? How could Liz Enthusiasm do such a thing!? Ahem, anyway, once fixtures of rhythm games and nerd conventions in the aughts, the band has returned to life after a gap of nearly a decade, Freezepop came back in 2020 with Fantasizer and hasn't stopped cranking out content since. Welcome to Fog '25!

The joke of the post is that there's an early Freezepop song about how Liz wishes she named the band Brainpower instead of Freezepop. But it kinda....sucks. That one is better.
Less Tokk More Rokk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcAFkYUnSjg
and so is this one, which was on Guitar Hero 2, which was my introduction.

For comparison sake, have the video for Fantasizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0w4O25N2mI
One member (the Duke) left, two joined, but they're still friends with the Duke and they collab with him sometimes. And they're still having a blast, 20 years on...

Now, I don't remember Less Talk More Rokk from Guitar Hero 2. Like at all. I vividly remember Get Ready 2 Rokk. Did GH2 have DLC tracks at that point or was it only the third game?

It was a bonus song purchasable in the in-game store, apparently.

I think the only track I bought as DLC was "Ernten Was Wir Saen" and possibly some Spanish song I don't remember in GH3
