2016 Albums • Page 5

My laptop was destroyed mid February, haha. Most of my listening was for this year was done on my phone. I could probably figure out what I've heard but it's not really worth the effort I guess.

 

shit, that sucks. Yeah I think at this point, giving up probably is best bet haha

hey, would you mind recommending me some of your favorite J and K-stuff? your all-time favorites or widely-regarded classics, whatever you think is an essential listen.

for reference, i like Maximum the Hormone and a ton of pop/pop-rock/pop-punkish anime ops/eds; the ERASED op is one of my favorite songs this year. just nothing too Hatsune Miku-like. anything will be much appreciated

Here's April. Another slow month, but my semester is finally over so I'm looking forward to listening to more over the summer.

 

Didn't listen to a ton last month compared to the others, but heard a few good releases. Weezer was probably my favorite.

 

My top five of April are Beyonce, Museum Mouth, Frankie Cosmos, Drake, and Dowsing.

 

April. Probably the weakest month so far for me. Sturgill Simpson & Frightened Rabbit were probably numbers 1 and 2 for me, and iamthemorning, Polyenso, M83, King Giz, & Boxer Rebellion also put out good albums.

 

slowest month so far, got too caught up revisiting older stuff. thankfully May is stacked.

thank you!

 

Uni work got in the way in the second half of April. Start of the month was really good - three of my top four favourite releases of this year so far came out but then I listened to basically nothing in the second half of the month.

 

April

 

Very good list, but if it's ordered I *will* personally fight you for putting both Supercar and Number Girl at the bottom. (also thanks for the Seiko rec I'll check it out)

 

I've never seen a combo of things that make me happier and sadder in one post

 

Hahaha, hush little shadowboy
