BREAKING NEWS: Here are recently (belatedly) made Spotify and YouTube playlists with all the songs for easy listening. Here's my top 20ish songs of 2021, plus 15 newly added honorable mentions. Honorable mentions (alphabetical) *67 – “not me mix” I was deep in a SoundCloud abyss one night when I stumbled on this jewel, a nightcore remix of Mitski’s “Washing Machine Heart.” The romantic, galloping instrumental of the original anthem turns evil once accelerated, flickering and throttling like the soundtrack to a shooter game in a decrepit Y2K arcade. The vocals are even more mutant. Sped up, Mitski’s slow, yearning requests for her lover to meet lips turn into shrill, freakishly energized cries. She sounds like an elvish opera singer withering in a hallucinogenic daze.
