  1. brutal by Olivia Rodrigo

    • seriously obsessed with this album, and especially with this opening track. it’s brutal out there.

  2. Little Sister by Queens of the Stone Age

    • i often come back to this song — the drums are the reason to listen to this song.

  3. Autoclave by The Mountain Goats

    • The Mountain Goats were introduced to me by Tyler Jenke, a guest we had on the show (and the Rolling Stone Australia editor), and i loved this track especially from them.

  4. LEMONHEAD by Tyler, The Creator

    • incredible album, and one of my favs off it.

  5. Interior People by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

    • this album is weird and glorious and so easy to listen to. this song especially stays on repeat for me.

  6. Celebration by Logic

    • love the album. literally just discovered Logic this year, and now i am streaming his entire library of music, all the time.

  7. Aerials by System of a Down

    • i decided around this time that i wanted to learn how to play the drums — i love rock music so much that it makes perfect sense for me to learn how to play! so of course i started streaming music that had incredible drums, so SOAD made its reappearance in my life. i used to run to this music back in the day, and loved its energy.

  8. The Outsider by A Perfect Circle

    • once i started down the rock rabbit hole, it didn’t take me long to start to listen to A Perfect Circle again, and fall in love with this song again.

  9. Heavy Metal Drummer by Wilco

    • we recorded an episode as guests on the podcast You Forgot One, and i was introduced to Wilco in the course of that recording — which, i know, i can’t believe it took me that long to listen to them. but this was one of my favorites off the album.

  10. OK Overture by AJR

    • this song is brilliant — it literally acts as an overture for the album, mixing in elements from the songs to come. and it is so catchy and fun and high energy, and just perfect for an intro track.

  11. INDUSTRY BABY by Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow

    • so catchy, so poppy, so wonderful.

  12. Justine Go Genesis by Sleigh Bells

    • Sleigh Bells got me through my graduate program and many many hours of coding. incredibly high energy, mind melting guitar riffs, and so much more. soooo happy they are making more music!

  13. Want You Back by HAIM

  14. Since I Left You by The Avalanches

    • the whole album, shout out to this week’s guest, Tyler Jenke, for the recommendation!
