The future felt so bright when I was a kid in 1989.

I agree. It’s like Occam’s Razor, but with stupidity instead of simplicity: the most stupid reason is the most likely.

There are far too many, but here’s a couple:

David Ramirez and Kalu James - Dark Star (from Song Confessional) (2022): https://youtu.be/lSg9qsBgfgs

Song Confessional is a podcast that collects anonymous stories then has artists make songs for it. This is my favourite song from that.

Great Caesar - Hey Mama (2016): https://youtu.be/fCnSEsx6Cp8

I don’t even think they’re a band anymore, or at least they haven’t released anything in quite while.

Ladyhawk - New Joker (2006): https://youtu.be/4hUnygYXvfs

A rough sounding Canadian band that has disbanded, but actually had a documentary made about their second album creation process. Saw them live once and they were great.
