probably album of the year for me so far

new Fontaines DC single on repeat

those acts at least had a "big" sound and were kinda fun. I've found nothing fun or interesting in Kahan's music

can someone explain how Noah Kahan is a headliner-level act?

this new Elbow is fuego

I don't want to play this to perhaps in anyway diminish the album art.

are we having a fight?

oh agreed. this new Yard Act album is at least catchy. new AM does nothing for me. though, it probably is more down to having had 4.5 really good albums and 10+ years of AM fandom...their change in sound feels more personal to me. only wading into Yard Act at this point.

ooohh...this is fun....10 points each, no particular order Max Roach Art Blakeley DJ Johsnon Jeremiah Green Russel Hobbs Ginger Baker John Bonham Questlove Meg White Phil Collins (I mean, that one fill probably makes you top ten anyway, right?)

"We Make Hits" is an absolute banger...both ironically and un-ironically. I'm settling in with the rest of the album...I think it's gonna take a few listens, but this feels like a grower. it does kinda feel like these lads just hit fast forward on the Arctic Monkeys documentary...only watched...

albums I've enjoyed so far...though I haven't really been blown away by anything: - Ducks Ltd - Harms Way - NewDad - MADRA - Future Islands - People Who Aren't There Anymore - The Umbrellas - Fairweather Friends - Hurray for the Riff Raff - The Past is Still Alive - The Smile - Wall of Eyes -...

Mumford & Sons w/ Pharrell? I think this broke my brain.

I'm really digging the lack of a clear-cut #1 (or even #1-10) album this year (Lankum, not withstanding)...I'm not doing any of the math, but it feels from these pots that so many of my faves...Slowdive, Aesop Rock, Hania Rani...could all finish top 10. hell, I got validation on Art School...

I'm madly in love with her. she did a Nils Frahm (my all-time favorite artist) song at her show in Boston and I damn near lost my mind
