You guys know I have to chime in on a music thread.

Somebody mentioned that Brandon Flowers is a Mormon. The three biggest rock bands of the millenium (defined as first commercial release after 12/31/1999 - which rules out Coldplay) by commercial and/or critical success are all fronted by Latter-day Saints: the Killers, Arcade Fire, and Imagine Dragons.

With the caveat that I love Greta Van Fleet's introductory EP, I thought this review of their first album is hillarious.

In terms of what's on heavy rotation on my iPhone.

Sunflower by Post Malone (from the new Spiderman animated movie - make sure you see it in the theater, will go down in history as the most important animated film since the original Toy Story).

Mode Moderne - this is what I imagine Joy Division would have gone on to sound like had Ian Curtis not erased his map.

Oyahytt by The Coup, also from a movie (Sorry to Bother You - directed by the frontman of The Coup).  I also love their song "The Guillotine" which sounds relevant to the times we live in.

Harvest Moon (Neil Young cover) by Poolside.  The Neil Young purists might gag, but I like this better than the original.

Pink Lemonade by James Bay

Tomorrow Never Came by Lana Del Rey.  I'm sure Hulk's been grooving to this one.  It has guest vocals by Sean Lennon and boy does he sound like his dad.  I wonder if this wrote this as a sequel to "Tomorrow Never Knows" from Revolver.
