King Hannah are a severely underappreciated band from the United Kingdom. Their debut, "I'm Not Sorry, I Was Just Being Me" was one of the best rock records to come out of 2022. The album featured a blend of alternative rock, blues rock, psych rock, and, eclectically, some trip hop-ish elements. The songwriting was stellar, the vocals low-key and deadpan but oddly appealing. The staple members of the band are Craig Whittle (guitar) and Hannah Merrick (vocals). A note: since this is a recent band, there are fewer interviews to sift through (i.e. for multiple release years / eras / what have you. Still, there weren't a dearth of pieces; this record was fairly well anticipated.  Related lists: Chelsea Wolfe Interview Compilation Below I've compiled some interesting interviews from the dynamic duo, with standout quotes included. *DISCLAIMER: I CLAIM NO OWNERSHIP OF THESE INTERVIEWS.

Halloween means different things to different people. For me, there's campy, light horror..."life's no fun without a good scare!" There is great value in that. This particular playlist, however, is devoted to less "fun" songs and more to tracks that actually creep into your brain and refuse to leave, a sour and sinking feeling settling itself on your soul. Unsettling feelings are an essential part of human experience, and should be explored, even if shallowly. Below are a selection of songs that range from mildly unsettling (like a vaguely bad dream half-forgotten after waking up) to straight up disturbing. My thanks to a few of you who contributed suggestions. Only proceed with the greatest caution, friends. 1.  Coil - Something   ||  Post-Industrial  ||  2000  ||   UK 2.

Her and the eponymous band's style is versatile, and, contrary to the views of some detractors, not chameleonic; all of her work is very dark and often gothic, but there are many different facets and angles of her own unique darkness that she comes at in her work. Genres she has explored include ethereal wave, dark folk, doom metal, and gothic rock. In this ranking, I will list my favorite studio albums in reverse order. Underneath, I will rank my 50 favorite songs of hers. 8. Mistake in Parting  ||  Alternative Rock  ||  2006  ||  5.5/10 7.

Indie pop is bliss. Indie pop is an exceptionally varied genre, but has a distinct sound that sets it apart from similar genres. Chief among these distinctions is the emphasis on traditional pop song structures, but with more creative production choices. Indie pop can also be deeper and more thoughtful than traditional pop. The 2000s were a truly great decade for the genre, seeing an explosion of popularity and innovation. Below is an unranked (but thoughtfully sequenced) playlist of some of my favorite indie pop songs from the 2000s. The embedded playlist at the top is only a preview; if you're interested, you can listen to the full playlist on my Spotify (NimzoWolfe is my handle).

These aren't really arranged in any particular order. If there's an individual book from a series that I would rate lower than a 4/5, it won't be included. There are also a few series that I still need to finish, and so later novels may not be included.  Please also keep in mind that I am only including novels of which I have a clear memory. For this reason, I have omitted a lot of fantasy that I read as a teen.
