This whole album was ritual on drives both to and from school throughout the entirety of my formative years. After \u201cThrift Shop\u201d by Macklemore (not kidding) this track was the first to get that part of my brain reserved entirely for music tingling. I credit my father\u2014who often lauds this song as featuring, \u201cthe greatest beat drop of all time\u201d\u2014most of all for this pick, simply for the fact that he was the one putting them on, but my mother has her own unique story. Her love for the band is so massive it seems to have transformed into a bitter grudge against them. The enmity stems from the band\u2019s break up in 2011. A big stink of a farewell in 2011 (see <em>The Long Goodbye<\/em>, one of the greatest live albums of all time) followed by a seemingly flippant reunion to continue producing six years later with <em>American Dream<\/em>. Like nothing ever happened. \u201cThey make a big sob story and then come right back like it\u2019s nothing!\u201d she repeats more than often, and the more I think about it the more I really can\u2019t blame her! Nostalgia aside, this song is undeniably Soundsystem at their absolute best. The chunky synths and looping drumbeats hit in such a way the only way to really understand it is to experience it firsthand. You can listen to it anywhere. Alone in your room or dancing at a party. The feeling is that universal. So listen now!!! Do it!!! Go!!! Go!!! Dance yourself clean!!! Dance yourself clean!!!

Prior to their enormous, well-deserved resurgence in the past couple of years, The Sundays found me the summer before my first year of middle school. My dad played a shuffle of their first two albums, <em>Blind,<\/em> and <em>Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic<\/em>, from the crunchy speakers of his old truck, packed with folding chairs and beach bags as we drove through Ocean City. The familiar scent of the sea and the soft air of the warm August night fled through the rolled-down windows, braiding into Harriet Wheeler\u2019s perfectly gentle vocals and her husband David Gavurin\u2019s distinct jangly guitar. During that beach trip, I exclusively listened to The Sundays discography off of YouTube playlists and Macbook MP3 rips, and their music weaved into my life throughout middle and high school\u2014staying consistently in my top artists since 2019, decorating my wall, and providing my senior yearbook quote. My dad told me about the two times he had seen them in concert and the place they held in his heart, ultimately gifting me his cassette of <em>Blind<\/em> in my sophomore year. The album has stayed my top of all time, and while \u201cGod Made Me\u201d and \u201cWild Horses\u201d are my most repeated, \u201cGoodbye\u201d had always been my dad\u2019s absolute favorite\u2014he still blasts the track throughout our house on late summer nights, Wheeler\u2019s voice echoing among the weathered wood of the staircase that I sit on to listen to her cry out, \u201cLet the heavens shudder baby, I belong to you!\u201d <strong>&#8212; Julia Schramm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Goodbye\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/4wbDALtjwuwBxtMgjuumoi?si=c287f3c7075b45e5&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;American Valhalla&#8221; By Iggy Pop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s 7 in the morning. Your eyes can barely stay open and the warmth of the rumbling engine only lulls you to sleep. But as soon as your eyes begin to flutter in acceptance of the hour, Iggy Pop\u2019s gravely baritone crackles its way through the car speakers and into your youthful brain. There\u2019s nothing to do but accept it at this point, his unfamiliar mystique has startled you awake and, honestly, you\u2019re pleasantly surprised. Every drive to school is like this; an Iggy Pop concert that never ends. The vibraphone loops in the back of your brain for days, the jerky, rumbling bass only driving this earworm. Frustration grows into acceptance and suddenly you\u2019re showing everyone at your sixth grade lunch table <em>Post Pop Depression. <\/em>You all marvel at the unsettling croons at the end of \u201cAmerican Valhalla,\u201d repeating \u201cI\u2019ve nothing but my name\u201d ad nauseum. <strong>&#8212; Sophie Parrish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: American Valhalla\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/1fyyDh4JhcMy2GOh8abFh2?si=33decc85418849f0&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Snowbound&#8221; by Donald fagen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a song about winter it always made me think about summer.

They were definitely a standout amongst the collection of Britpop and post-punk CDs that lived in her glove compartment, but maybe that\u2019s why they\u2019ve stuck in my memory so much. There might have been plenty of (British) music that defined my childhood more than \u201cWide Open Spaces\u201d, but now that I\u2019ve grown up and left home there\u2019s something kind of poetic about it being a mainstay in my mother\u2019s music taste: a country song about leaving home because you need to go make your own mistakes for a little while, your mom watching you as she drives off and thinking about how she once did the same thing.
