When's the last time you watch Dark City? Before The Matrix, there was this. Noir, memory wipes, and a city run by pale weirdos who hate sunlight. Roger Ebert called it the best film of the year. He was right, though no one listened. It's incredibly beautiful.

David Bowie’s Young Americans. The Thin White Duke went full soul. Lennon dropped in, Luther Vandross sang backup, Beck sampled "Win" for his song Debra. Bowie called it “plastic soul.” Fake? Na. Brilliant? Absolutely.

Former Joan Jett & the Blackhearts guitarist Ricky Byrd is still slinging greasy rock & roll — just with a message. His album Sobering Times turns recovery into rebellion. “It’s a fun record,” he says. “But there’s a solution in there too.”

Caroline Rose called Loner her “little movie about myself” — a neon-lit world built from David Lynch, Pedro Almodóvar, and a van full of Jeopardy reruns. “I wanted it to show all sides of my personality,” she said. “Humor, drama, loneliness — all of it.”

Gregory Alan Isakov built Evening Machines out of floods, farming, and late-night quiet with the glow of studio gear bleeding into the fields. “I’d finish a long day of harvesting and go play with my evening machines,” he says.

“Life is bonkers,” Natasha Rothwell tells me. “So you’ve got to laugh at the absurdity before you can deal with the heartbreak.”

In How to Die Alone, she does both—spectacularly. Come for the White Snake karaoke, stay for the realest show on Hulu.
