[BEST SONG EVER] Bleached "Outta My Mind"

[BEST SONG EVER] Bleached “Outta My Mind”

All of my friends think it’s really weird that every song I like is about either heartbreak or break-ups or loving someone so much you have to murder them to put your heart at ease, because I’m in a pretty bormal (that’s boring + normal) relationship, and I don’t have much to be bummed about...
[BEST SONG EVER] Ty Segall "The Motivator" (T. Rex Cover)

[BEST SONG EVER] Ty Segall “The Motivator” (T. Rex Cover)

Oh for fuck’s sake Ty Segall can you just stop being the coolest fucking person on the planet? Why do the rest of us even bother getting out of bed in the morning when you’re out there making some of the best music of our generation (via your several different vehicles, including your mind-blowingly amazing...
[BEST SONG EVER] The Orwells "Halloween All Year"

[BEST SONG EVER] The Orwells “Halloween All Year”

Let’s overlook for a moment the troubling fact that a song that opens with the lyric “We are young, they don’t listen”* penned by 18-year-olds resonates so strongly with a 30-year old person. I’ve come to terms with my eternal teenage-dom (sort of), so let’s leave dwelling on that to my parents and my bank...
[BEST SONG EVER] Hanni El Khatib "Family"

[BEST SONG EVER] Hanni El Khatib “Family”

Cultist favorite Hanni El Khatib is known for translating various influences from the past into fresh songs that have a unique sound all his own. Lately, the rock/punk undercurrent that has existed in his earlier records has been boiling to the surface. Last year we were treated the single “Roach Cock”- a face-to-pavement punk rock...
[BEST SONG EVER] Bleached "Next Stop"

[BEST SONG EVER] Bleached “Next Stop”

  If you don’t like having a song endlessly stuck in your end, then this post is not for you. Stop reading and go listen to whatever avant-garde noise-wave fuckery you’re into and leave us normals be. As for me (your tireless and completely unqualified Cultist music “critic”), I love having a song in my...
[BEST SONG EVER] The Men "Open Your Heart"

[BEST SONG EVER] The Men “Open Your Heart”

  (photo by Kevin Faulker via Pitchfork) It only takes but twenty seconds for Open Your Heart to do exactly that, plus throw a little salt in the wound, give you a distant pat on the back, and send you packing with a handmade friendship bracelet, a half-full pack of cigarettes, and some fond memories. By the...
[BEST SONG EVER] Veronica Falls "Teenage"

[BEST SONG EVER] Veronica Falls “Teenage”

It’s weird how memories work, like how they commandeer you when you least expect it usually when you are driving at night and outside everything is dark and quiet because you’re in the canyons (and you momentarily understand the Counting Crows song “Long December”) and somehow as you’re driving through the dark and the quiet,...
[BEST SONG EVER] Charli XCX Ft. Brooke Candy "Cloud Aura"

[BEST SONG EVER] Charli XCX Ft. Brooke Candy “Cloud Aura”

Welcome to CharliXCXandBrookeCandy.com I mean Cultistzine.com JUST KIDDING kind of not really. Look, it’s not our fault that these two girls keep putting out some of the coolest shit we have seen in a while okay? It’s our duty to cover it. The candle-lit shrines and stuff in our houses, well those parts are mostly...
[BEST SONG EVER] White Lung "Hunting Holiday"

[BEST SONG EVER] White Lung “Hunting Holiday”

  This may seem biased because the lead singer of White Lung is a Cultist contributor and friend (hiiii Mish) but you know what? I DON’T CARE. This song is fucking awesome and if I want to sing it from the blog-tops (and make a creepy collage about it), I damn well will. In today’s...
[BEST SONG EVER] Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti 'Only In My Dreams'

[BEST SONG EVER] Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti ‘Only In My Dreams’

(Disclaimer: I wrote this at 2am after being awoken from a deep sleep which apparently causes you to write super fucking weird shit). Today’s Best Song Ever is by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, and it is full of ghosts. Ghosts of what might be and what could have been, heart ghosts and mind ghosts, and...
[BEST SONG EVER] Charli XCX 'I'll Never Know'

[BEST SONG EVER] Charli XCX ‘I’ll Never Know’

I want all pop to be goth pop. Actually I kind of want all everything to be goth everything but that’s another story and I’ll tell it to my Livejournal. That being said, Charli XCX is the pop starlet of my dreams. She makes music that is like what witch house would be if witch...
[BEST SONG EVER] Azealia Banks: "NEEDSUMLUV"

[BEST SONG EVER] Azealia Banks: “NEEDSUMLUV”

Today, this is the best song ever. We have a very small (shrine-building bunny-boiling) obsession with Azealia Banks, the sweet-faced, dirty-mouthed rapstress (trying this word out, feels weird, but let me live) from NYC who is tip-toeing on the brink of a full swan dive into blowing the fuck up, and this new track only...
