    Best Music of 2020

    A 28-minute ripper of jet-fueled garage punk from West London, Chubby and the Gang’s Speed Kills is my AOTY, a gleeful, hook-laden, anti-authority combat-boot-kick to the balls. Assembled as a supergroup side project of London DIY hardcore vets, the songs have a life-lived maturity that echo...

    Ambient / Noise / Lowercase / Field Recordings / etc.

    For such a very long career, too much of returning over and over to the same ideas (analog loops, decay, loss, etc.). I rarely call ambient music boring but I carve out an exception for Basinski. If you isolate any of his albums they’re quite interesting — Loops is obviously the one that gets...

    What were the most interesting bits? I have mixed feelings about Basinski's music but his creative process is fascinating.

    Definitely a bit rudimentary. Firefox and Safari don’t show it as a slider. And when I drag and drop in a cover it can’t identify, I haven’t figured out how to make its text show up on the list. Just a white box appears that I can type text into but when I export to a graphic it vanishes.

    Ahhhh, it's a slider, not a radio button. 🤓 Thanks.

    What's the trick to doing customized chart sizes on Topsters 2? After I hit the "collage" radio button I'm not able to select the "rows" or "columns" radio buttons to increase from 3 and 3.

    Magnet Magazine's Top 60 Albums, 1993-2003

    Always interesting to think about the differences between look-back lists made a few decades later and lists made in the moment.

    That's a great 2,500-word breakdown of "feels very dated and icky."

    It's A Wonderful Life is a top-5 movie for me, regardless of its connection to Christmas. It's a treasure. @dhodo, be sure to check out Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, another Frank Capra jewel. Watched Love Actually again for the first time in probably 15 years. I remember really loving it back...

    Outer Sounds Vinyl Subscription

    It’s awesome that Represencing is being repressed! Eremite’s original pressing is limited and 💰💰💰. It is on Bandcamp, although electronic-only with limited tracks for free streaming. With only a three-month commitment for this curation, it seems worth exploring. I’ll probably give it a shot.

    A Place To Bury Strangers scratch my itch. Or I pull out my classic surf records. But I am so damn happy I bought the Loveless and Isn't Anything remasters when they came out.
