⤏ A PLAYLIST FOR FEELING A LITTLE OFF
⤏ CURATED BY BESTFRIEND
"Breathe, keep breathing / Don’t lose your nerve”
— Radio head “exit music (for a film)”
What is the theme of your playlist?
Songs that make us feel weird — not in a bad way, not in a good way; just sort of innocuously Weird.
Why did you select these songs?
We picked songs that remind us of a weird time in our lives, or sonically make us feel a little bit like things in our brain are now one inch to the left.
What’s one song you wish you wrote?
Stacy: When Am I Gonna Lose You by the Local Natives.
Kaelan: New Slang by The Shins.
You get to spend a day with three artists. Who are they and what are you doing?
Elton John, if only to have one single conversation with him about remaining resilient in the music industry. Beyoncé, just to see how she lives and what “spending a day” with her would even entail. And Lil Nas X, obviously, just to hang.
You can only listen to one artist for the rest of your life. Who would it be?
Kaelan: Gotta be The National right???? Maybe a collective band answer?
Stacy: Bon Iver!
What is your most frequently played song/album?
Stacy: Right now, my most frequently played song is Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish. Most frequently played album would be Antisocialites by Alvvays.
Kaelan: I’ve gone back to Because the Internet by Childish Gambino every month for a decade at this point.
If your life were a movie, what 5 songs would be on the soundtrack?
Stacy: Cherry by Ratatat, Don’t Let The Kids Win by Julia Jacklin, All The Stars by Kendrick Lamar & SZA, Rollin’ by Calvin Harris & Khalid, and Montana by Youth Lagoon.
Kaelan: Apartment Story by The National, Who Knows Who Cares by Local Natives, Crawling Through The Window by Arkells, Pink Matter by Frank Ocean, and Kingston by Faye Webster.

What’s the most underrated song/band/artist out there right now?

What do you think Rihanna named her baby?
