You're a Goofy Goober

Hard-won easy listening, a perfectly outlandish West Coast rap throwback, and more.

You're a Goofy Goober

Five Songs is a weekly series for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we each choose a new song we like and write about why we can’t stop listening to it.


This week, we've got bars for your haters, easy melodies for tough days, folk-rock with a whole new take on the meaning of “Lynchian”, and a psychedelic instrumental from the guitarist behind one of 2025's best albums. Hop in.
