As 3OH!3 gears up for their return to Warped Tour this summer and fall—appearing on all three weekends of the revived festival—Nat Motte and Sean Foreman took a detour down memory lane during their recent idobi Warped Radio interview. And not just any memory: Silent Library. The cult-favorite MTV series, a bizarre hybrid of Jackass and a study hall fever dream, famously challenged artists to perform absurd dares—all while staying silent in a “library” setting.

With the final season of Netflix’s You causing quite a stir on the internet since its launch last Thursday, April 26, we’re putting our own spin on bidding the series farewell. Record spin, that is. The main character, Joe Goldberg, played by Penn Badgley, is a man of too-many-to-keep-track-of contradictions. Bookish yet brutal, romantic yet ruthless. Across five seasons of You, each of Joe’s love interests reveals a different shade of his psyche and a different version of deeply disturbing obsession. But what if we soundtracked their stories? Below, we’ve paired each of his partners with the album that best… Read more »
