Mondays tend to be a heavy listening day. When you're staring down the barrel of a week of hourlong (one way) commutes, you need to start strong. Today's list is short due to keeping Mammal Hands' Circadia (2026) on repeat. I'm only adding the first track to this playlist, but you should queue up the whole package. Then play it again. And again. MJ Lenderman is fitting due to a recent trip to Asheville. Record store pickups while in North Carolina: The Slits' Cut (1979) on vinyl and Robin Hitchcock & The Egyptians' Queen Elvis (1989) on cassette. Hence their inclusion.
