It also has a great video. When you can pair incredible images like that to a great song, it elevates it. I saw the video first, and sometimes that can ruin the way you interpret a song—for instance I just watched the Pet Shop Boys’ new video. It’s more of a lyric video, but after a minute I was like, “I don’t need to be watching this. I should just listen to the song and focus on that. This is getting in the way.” But man, the “Gone” video is so cool, with the rain and the performance between the two of them. It reminds me of Mick Jagger and David Bowie’s “Dancing in the Streets,” which was a great video, not a great song.

Lil Nas X: “Panini”

You can hear my initial reaction to “Old Town Road” in real time with Ezra Koenig on his podcast “Time Crisis.” He played it, and I really didn’t get it. That’s not to say that it’s bad, because I think it just seeps into your consciousness. Smash cut to a couple of months later, I heard it on Love Island, when they were all singing it, and I was like, “I like this song!” And then I went, “Hold on, it’s that song I didn’t really get when it first came out!”

But then I heard “Panini,” which is just a ludicrous name for a song. I heard it on the radio the other night, and they were like, “Here’s the new one from Lil Nas X—‘Panini!’” I just burst out laughing. You’re going to follow up the biggest single in history with a song called “Panini?!” It’s so stupid! It’s just confounding to me that that made it through quality control. There used to be that old joke about how in 25 years we went from “I want to hold your hand” to “I want to fuck you like an animal.” But then in the next 25 years we went to “Panini!” It’s a good song though.

Noël Wells: “Sunrise”

She is a super fascinating person. She was on SNL for a little while and then wrote and directed a movie that won a bunch of awards at film festivals, and earlier this month she put out an album. It sort of reminds me of ’90s grungy production meets She & Him—these really pretty pop songs, produced with a bit of a hard edge. “Sunrise” is really bouncy and joyful and ebullient. And this is not me shouting out a homie or anything—I barely know her!

She did come on “Comedy Bang Bang” once, doing a character of a little-boy movie reviewer, which we wrote based on a real person. We were always making fun of the fact that you can’t really understand certain things in movies when you’re that young. So we wrote a bit about how there would be scenes in movies that he wouldn’t understand, like when a man would go into a restroom and use the grown-up urinal, like, [child voice] “I don’t get it! Why isn’t he using the tiny one?” Noël took to that character and turned it into her own thing. Because Kid Cudi was my bandleader that season, I also found out that she was very into Kid Cudi and was kind of awestruck meeting him.
