Am I the only one with the Pkew Pkew Pkew album on my list? Y'all should give it a chance, it's the most purely fun album I heard all year. Really cheesy but endearing and catchy punk rock.

 

I'll check it out.

 

And here I've listened to so little new music this year. I'm kinda ashamed. Favorite might be The Dear Hunter's Act V or Daughter's Not To Disappear.

 

Aside from the tip top records a lot of these are pretty much interchangeable, and a few towards the bottom and a bunch of honorable mentions that I haven't spent enough time with. Every year is a great year for music but man, this one had it all.

over the weekend. Enjoy Japanese Breakfast the most out of them.

 

This was your first time listening to Pretty Years? What'd you think?

 

I enjoyed it, I'll return to it. Wasn't too big on his voice

 

You're a big CEG fan, right? Or I could just be assuming bc I know you're big into the same kinda stuff as Joan and Casey a lot of the time, haha

 

Nah I've never listened to the band before. I know people always talked about them but never got into em

 

Ah alright. I could see how this might be a weird starting point for a new listener. I think Lose would be a bit more up yr alley

 

I'll check it out after my catch up is done

Hoops EP is dope, fan of this

 

Vesuvio Solo is also very good

 

whatd you think of JEW as someone who's not the biggest fan of them, at least in recent years?

Honorary number 1: Tyler Glenn – Excommunication
Not the best record by any means but I give it an honorary number one spot because of it's themes and how much I relate with it/leaving the Mormon Church.


Honorary mention – Hailey It Happens – S/T

Chris the GOAT but I've only had two listens to it so far so didn't want to just rank it to rank it.

 

And my top EP even though I technically included some in that list is Vince Staples - Prima Donna

 

i wish i liked all of dangerous woman as much as i like the singles

 

Also thx to Jake because Nicolas Jaar would have made this list had I heard it sooner but I'm still letting it sink in with me more but I really love it.

 

"no" song of the year

 

Over paris?

 

biggest letdowns:

andy stott - too many voices
drake - views
asap ferg - always strive and prosper
american football - american football
the avalanches - wildflower (still like it a lot but wow did i forget it came out at all once it came and went)
future - purple reign (made up for it with evol tho)
letlive - if im the devil
m83 - junk


think thats all i was looking forward to that turned out to be mediocre to bad
