blue blood
x japan, 1989
recommended for coer
one of the best metal albums of all time, featuring “x,” which james has mentioned listening to. much like ycc it’s a headbanging anthem that creates special moments with fans during performances. if they’re into rock and metal, i think they’ll love it! i also recommend “kurenai,” “rose of pain” and “endless rain.”
content note: mature themes
bunga maaf
the lantis, 2024
recommended for juhoon
this song reminds me of juhoon bc of how soft and beautiful the melody is. i feel like juhoon would enjoy this
better in the dark
tv girl, 2021
recommended for keonho
tv girl is one of my favorite bands, and ever since i first heard of keonho during their debut, i’ve felt like the music he connects with is so similar to their sound. all of their songs are beautiful, but there’s something about this one that goes beyond that.
content note: substance use
black pleasure 2012
cities aviv, 2012
recommended for all of cortis
i think they’d all enjoy this since its experimental and really artistic, especially martin or james
content note: explicit content
juegos de seducción
soda stereo, 1985
recommended for all of cortis
punchy, confident and a gateway into rock en español! soda stereo and gustavo cerati’s attitude and experimentation remind me of the “cortis mindset,” blending new wave, synth-pop and rock.
flow
gints zilbalodis, 2024
recommended for all of cortis
one of the most beautiful and touching movies i’ve ever watched. without a single word, it says so much about friendship, survival and learning to move forward together. made by a small team in blender and now an oscar winner, it’s a reminder to follow your heart and create something you truly love <3
when it’s late at night
deathbrain, 2022
recommended for martin
i feel like martin would enjoy this because of all the different sounds and layers throughout the song. it has this dreamy, slightly chaotic cybercore vibe that somehow really reminds me of him.
treasure
cocteau twins, 1984
recommended for juhoon
juhoon seems to enjoy a softer, dreamy atmospheric soundscape and i can't help thinking that he might enjoy the cocteau twins feathery & floaty sonic flair. i recommend this specific album but tbh any tracks from them are worth listening if you are into dream-pop / shoegaze
the concept
teenage fanclub, 1991
recommended for seonghyeon
this is such a good song that i think seonghyeon will most definitely enjoy, its kinda similar to the libertines music which he has mentioned a couple of times
dead weight
jack stauber, 2018
recommended for martin
the production is veryyyyy unique, and i think it’s something he’d enjoy and maybe draw inspiration from. the lyricism could also be a great example since he’s said he wants to improve his lyrics.
monster
hirokazu koreda, 2023
recommended for juhoon
you once said the thing you wanted most in life was "peace" and that's quite the message of this movie. to someone with such a sensitive heart and soul, who feels too much but can barely put into words, this movie is perfect for you.
content note: mature themes, brief suggestive content
1984
george orwell, 1949
recommended for all of cortis
i think in the times we are living right now this is a good book to read. it makes you think, reflect, and allows you to make connections from the story to reality. i recommend this book to everyone.
content note: sexual content, violence, oppression
what once was
hers, 2017
recommended for keonho
he might already know them since they’re pretty well-known, but since he likes indie music, i think he’d definitely enjoy this song and band!!
now i’ve got a lot you know
sophia stel, 2026
recommended for juhoon
based on a lot of his past recommendations i feel like juhoon would be into this song! it starts out slower but becomes upbeat with more electronic elements!
lonely is the muse
halsey, 2024
recommended for seonghyeon
he seems to like songs that clearly express emotional vulnerability and this is one of those !! :’)
content note: sexual trauma, emotional abuse
bridge to terabithia
gabor csupo, 2007
recommended for james
i feel like james is a person who enjoys watching all sorts of movies, this movie might be sad but it's incredible on the themes it follow.
content note: child death, grief, emotional distress
