Ah, diss tracks. The great refuge of artists who have run out of things to write about. When the muse abandons you, when you have nothing original to offer, just say something bad about somebody else! The soap opera is good for some record sales.

Halsey’s album this year is maybe the best new rock album I’ve heard in a long time.
Yo, did anybody else pre-order the new Billie Eilish album? And if so, did you get a note, a journal, a pen, a candle, and a rug in the mail today from Billie (but no album)? Because that's what I got and I was not expecting that. Maybe I ordered wrong...
Alrighty, my first targets for the new year, from 1980: Judas Priest - British Steel, Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, Motorhead - Ace of Spades, and Talking Heads - Remain in Light. I have a feeling my 80s collection is gonna lean pretty solidly to the hard rock/metal
Killer Mike in the RHH track and the Essentials Kid Cudi in March both look good. But those albums aren’t even in my favorite top ...300?... albums, so I can’t justify the cost there. So for the first quarter of the year, it looks like I can focus on building my collection through the 80s! (The 70s was a success. Thanks to all you guys for your feedback and suggestions for that decade)
Any recommendations for “standing in line to vote” playlist? Sepultura has worked pretty well thus far, but I’m looking to branch out
I really don’t understand what trap music is
I’ve tried looking it up and I still don’t have a grasp such that I could identify it
For the year 1979, I’m picking up The Clash - London Calling and Emmylou Harris - Blue Kentucky Girl.
I preordered the Gorillaz deluxe LP at site A, but a glitch (?) wouldn't let me input my shipping address (payment address worked fine). I emailed site A to make sure they had everything they needed for me to get my jamz, but I didn't hear anything back. So to ensure I got the album, I bought it from VMP too. Then I realized that the VMP edition doesn't have all the songs. Lesson? Don't shop on 4 hours of sleep.
I only have 8 albums originally released in the 80s. VMP released 4 of those. I have 24 albums from the 90s. VMP released 12 of those. I don’t know what that means, except I want more 80s stuff.
I was so proud of myself. I cut my VMP add-ons. I limited myself to three ‘78 records. Then I heard Nubya Garcia. My budget is now past blown.
I was born in September 1978. Fittingly, this September is my 1978 month! I'm getting Blondie ~ Parallel Lines, Brian Eno ~ Ambient 1: Music for Airports, and Van Halen ~ s/t.
I’m listening to all the N&G album selections again. Currently on The Gloaming ~ 3 and I’m very happy about it.
I’m really feeling the new Tkay Maidza album
VMP was distracting me from my trek through history anyway. Now I can REALLY focus on 1978
Kendra Morris is a saint, and if anybody says anything bad about her, I’ll challenge them to a duel. Or post a bunch of angry emoticons. One of those. Or both.
I don’t know why Continuum is showing up on my pending orders page, but it better not show up on my porch.
For the year 1977 I picked up: (1) Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (of course) (2) Steely Dan - Aja (3) Billy Joel - The Stranger (4) Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (I have to have SOME disco in the collection) and (5) Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell. I noted Television and Wire to pick up later, maybe....
The new Taylor Swift album isn’t bad. I wouldn’t say it’s great - I was bored by song 6 - but it’s not bad.
For 90s rap, I think I prefer East Coast albums but West Coast singles -
