1 10,000 gecs, by 100 gecs. Cartoonish and selfaware, on paper, there's no way the American band's second studio album should be as catchy as it is. The music transitions from metallic hooks to hip-hop beats, and then to pop melodies. You find yourself singing along to their silliest songs, such as Frog on the Floor. It's not even a metaphor! It's actually about discovering a frog at a party. We also like Hollywood Baby and 757.
2 Shop, by Jack Stauber's Micropop. A silly, energetic album full of short, light-hearted songs. None of it is ever boring or repetitive - it's hard to do when you're singing about milk, coffee, and cheese. It's possible to run through the whole album in under seven minutes. We love Paper Towels and Oatmeal, but frankly, they're all fun.
3 Fetch, by Melt -Banana: The Toyko-based noise-rock band has been at it since 1992 and still haven't lost their playful energy. The songs on the 2013 album draw on the band's cat obsession. Check out Schemes of the Tails: "I shall reach out the seeds of foxes spread around me to outfox". Huh? More nonsense on the songs Candy Gun, The Hive and Zero.

Fit Check? Look Behind You
In gyms, someone is always filming. We are all in the frame without meaning to be. Is privacy at odds with fitness goals? Is consent even possible with all those mirrors?
