Tender Buttons
Broadcast ·2005
"Well, this is like kind of my favorite band of the last 25 years. What I admire most about it is completely exploded version of like perfect pop music, but done in such, you know, so abstracted and so strange like their music got more and more abstract, but retained all of like the sort of like beautiful melodic pop ideas as the music got more disjointed and abstract."

Dissever
emptyset ·2025
"I love their record Blossomed, and I love the self-titled record. I haven't heard this one, but they have some of the greatest tones in all of electronic music. Super abstract, really mechanical and alien and weird, but it's really lovely."

No Lube So Rude
Peaches ·2026
"I'm so happy that she is out there doing her thing and embracing all of the weirdos out there, myself included, all the queer, weird, sex people. I'm so happy she's doing it and being super vocal and being very public about it, about like weird, queer, consensual, sex-positive [__]."
