petition to change our year numbering to years since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar, since that actually makes sense

- canada ~ united states border

“instead of making resolutions, why don't we post fun things we hope to do next year” what do you think a resolution is

GENRE: ALTERNATIVE POP

this is probably actually my favourite release this year and it is only 21 minutes. every song is a banger and i just want to play “Thursday” on repeat.

when she goes « And the band played that song you remember: It was Earth, Wind & Fire, “September” » 😭 i cry

GENRE: AMBIENT ELECTRONICA
BANDCAMP: https://janicekwan.bandcamp.com/album/five-colour-bird

if you haven’t listened to ‘Primitive’ by Tukico, you should listen to ‘Primitive’ by Tukico, and if you have listened to ‘Primitive’ by Tukico, you should listen to janice kwan because she’s like Tukico with a bit more heart. “azure blue” completely blew me away the first time i heard it, and “flower monk of the forest” has some amazing (ghibli?) vibes.

GENRE: INDIE ALTERNATIVE
BANDCAMP: https://mehro.bandcamp.com/album/sky-on-fire

this guy reminds me of those heartthrob boys like Harry Styles or whoever, but i also think he’s better than Harry Styles or whoever?? it’s soft and really easy to chill to and reminds me of the sort of thing i used to hear all over 8tracks back in the day. “hideous” is a good example.

GENRE: DANCE PUNK?? RIOT GRRRL??

you might know this artist as the lead singer of MS MR, but this is much rawer and more punky than anything MS MR ever put out. put on the cover of “Deceptacon” and rock out like it’s 1999.

i’m still not sure how i feel about this one, except i think that “Ecovocative” is a very good track. it’s definitely… some kind of mood, and i think it really captures the theme of ecological pattern and change.
