I try not to be a hater but honestly this shit is getting on my nerves! I see the same five artists on almost everyone's top five. Nothing wrong with mainstream, but if there's a point to all of this exhibitionism it's probably be to find new music that you might not discover on your own (though that's contradictory to the algorithm... which is a different conversation altogether). Not even to mention that less and less people are using Spotify, which is likely for the best. Instead of posting your Spotify wrapped this year rant about some music that you've really been loving. Maybe it's under the radar, maybe it's not; so long as you love it spread the joy. These are my 2024 AOTY’s: Cindy Lee’s Diamond Jubilee; MJ Lenderman’s Manning Fireworks; Jessica Pratt’s Here in the Pitch; English Teacher’s This Could Be Texas; Waxahatchee’s Tiger’s Blood; Shellac’s To All Trains; Mount Eerie’s Night Palace; Vampire Weekend’s Only God Was Above Us; Geordie Greep’s The New Sound; Mk.gee’s Two Star and the Dream Police Honorable mentions: Charli XCX’s Brat; Adrienne Lenker’s Bright Future; Chief Keef’s Almighty So 2; A Country Western’s Life on the Lawn; Courting’s New Last Name; Hurray For The Riff Raff’s The Past Is Still Alive; The Smile’s Wall of Eyes; Kim Gordon’s The Collective; JPEGMAFIA’s I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU Cheers 'n happy listening đŸ»

There has been so many amazing albums this year I know I'm for sure forgetting some 1. Big Ideas- Remi Wolf If you were to ask me one artist that would show my vibe, it'd be Remi 2. The Accident-Good Morning This album just came out and it's all I've been listening to... it's already a life long favorite 3. Charm- Clairo This is the first and only album I've ever listened to, but it was a big one this summer. Up until then I literally thought she was a teenager. 4. Alligator Bites Never Heal- Doechii I think about her growls during her Tiny Desk concert multiple times a day 5. I Got Heaven- Mannequin Pussy I GOT A LOUD BARK, DEEP BITE!!!! đŸ—Łïž 6. I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair- Christopher Owens Beautiful sounds about love, what more could you want 7. News Of The Universe- La Luz Someone here recommended this album right when I joined... I don't remember who but thanks đŸ«¶ 8. New Sound- The Geordi Greep I Love Shaking Ass To Geordi Greep 9. Fruit for Flies- The Army, The Navy the HARMONIESSSS!! 10. Bodies Laughing- The Smile I'm a Radiohead girlie thru and thru, of course I loved this album Givens because you know why: BRAT- Charli XCX The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess- Chappell Roan Honorable Mentions: Ten of Swords- Mouse Teeth American Football (covers) Patterns in Repeat- Laura Marling

I'm chronically terrible at time management but sometimes it all just comes together. Needed some grub after getting back from the airport last night; dining halls closed and no car necessitated ordering some pizza. I wanted to smoke a joint too but I didn't get to it 'til my delivery guy was only ten minutes away—I lit up anyways and managed to chief the whole baby joint by exactly the time the food got there. Literally put it out, walked ten paces, grabbed my shit, and headed back inside. Serendipitous. It's this stuff that reminds me everything is not doomed. Like when you're waiting for toast and you get out the butter just as it's going off. Just Godly

If there's a live version of a song I love I'm gonna listen to it. If there's a demo version of a song I love I'm gonna listen to it. If there's a remix of a song I love I'm gonna listen to it. If there's a cover of a song I love I'm gonna listen to it. Keeps the song fresh, adds variety and gets you more connected with the tune than one recording could. You could find a new favorite version of a song or better yet find that the selection of alternate recordings reflects a larger range of moods. The world wide web is your oyster. In mind right now particularly are Lou Reed's '84 Live in Italy version of Satellite of Love, Helvetia's cover of the Misfits song Hybrid Moments (Helvetia's cover and demo game in general is crazy), MJ Lenderman's take on Knocking on Heaven's Door (Knockin')—MJ also has a stellar live album—any and all versions of the Weight by the Band but specifically Nina Simone's, the Denzel Curry remix of BALD! by JPEGMAFIA. And any live Dinosaur Jr. Happy listening đŸ»

Insane last performance (dir. Martin Scorsese by the way) from one of roots rock's most pioneering bands including appearances from some of the 20th century's rock and folk legends. ~2 hours of The Band, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, the Staple Singers, and more. Great lineup, great set. If you're into this sort of thing massive pleasure to watch. Thanksgiving got me in the mood. Just found out Scorsese had to spend a shitload of money he didn't have to edit a crack rock out of Neil Young's nose when he was on. Stuff of legends.
