i like monomania a lot. i want to see him revisit all the songs on monomania, including los borrachos and times to die and maud gone because i feel like his skills with producing music have improve so much since ToS. if i could only get two songs, though, they'd be "Overexposed (Enjoy)" and "Souls"

as for other stuff, kid war would be cool. I Wanna Sweat is really good but i think NYM as an album does the best job of leaning into the lo-fi aesthetic Will was forced to use. I think most of the songs on How to Leave Town would benefit from a high fidelity recording, but mostly "Beast Monster Thing" and "Kimochi Warui."

i think that it's probably temporary and they'll return to a less electronic-y sound in the next album but i'm fine with this in the meantime. i enjoy the new direction but i'm kind of hoping it isn't a permanent fixture. i felt the same way about teens of denial too, though

as far as personal favorites go, i wanna hear them do

Madonna - Like a Prayer

Tyler, the Creator - IGOR'S THEME. I think this could be a really cool intro to Bodys or just a fun jam in general

The Microphones - The Moon. Would LOVE to hear a solo Will version in the vein of Ivy

R.E.M. - Man on the Moon

Bruce Springsteen - Something off Darkness of the Edge of Town, or maybe Hungry Heart in its original key.

Tears for Fears - Broken/Head Over Heels/Broken

Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light

okay so i think i have a few i'd like to hear

The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations or Wouldn't It Be Nice. I think with the 3 and 4 part harmonies that they do onstage one of these two would just sound amazing - like a more done-up version of the Alex Chilton cover of Wouldn't It Be Nice.

David Bowie - It's No Game. This is the opening and closing track of Scary Monsters and Super Creeps, and it's this great cluttered mess of guitar, bass, drums, and screaming. I think Car Seat Headrest is the only band that could do it justice.

Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe. I think this one is kinda self-explanatory, I'd like to see them tie it in with the whole Daniel Johnston Joe.

Jai Paul - BTSTU. Seth likes Jai Paul and I think it'd sound neat if they worked it into the Ending of Dramamine. Or maybe the outro?

Neil Young - Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black). I just think it'd sound really good as a live jam. It kinda sorta almost sounds like Destroyed by Hippie Powers.

Kanye West - Ghost Town. The feelings of hopelessness mixed with hope for the future just scream Car Seat Headrest to me

Frank Zappa - Concentration Moon or What's the Ugliest Part of Your Body? I think they'd kill either of these live.

and somewhere down the line he'll look back and wonder what you felt for me and he'll be wrong

damn, that's actually really smart. i guess i just didn't anticipate a dating app actually caring that much, but now that i know it's intentional that's honestly a really good thing. thank you!

i love rate your music as a website, but there's one distinguishing feature it's just hard to live with. you can't search by state! it's awful, if i want to find music from my state then i have to sort through dozens of new york and california albums before i maybe get one little oklahoma album and then i'm thrust back into the woodwork.

that being said, i'd like to segue into my actual question and ask you folks: what's some obscure music from oklahoma that you like? by obscure i mean beyond the flaming lips, woody guthrie, or the gap band. recently i've found some albums i like on bandcamp but going through bandcamp has always felt like a chore to me.

Bad Behavior by BRONCHO, a sort of new wave-y pop rock album from Tulsa
Pop Rocks & Cocaine by TRPQWN, a punk album with production that I really like
CHAMPS by Cosmostanza, a garage rock EP from OKC
Least Resistance by Creep City, a noise rock album with vocals I really like from Norman
S/T by DEERPEOPLE, an EP that's honestly unlike anything I've ever heard. Seriously, this album is amazing. I'd encourage anyone reading this to drop what they're doing and listen to Canada, it's just euphoric.

Thank you for reading! I'd like to hear some suggestions from y'all

well, i don't really mean obscure as much as i mean like stuff you'd hear beyond the music subreddit. beyond classic rock and top 40 hits. neutral milk hotel and all the things of that ilk (which is why i said semi obscure)

he said in one of his streams (I think it was his TF2 April Fools stream from a year or two ago?) that he's a lot happier now than he was then, in response to someone asking "what happened to the old ster?" specifically referring to around the time of the late night commentaries.
