The second-best album of the year that includes a song where the word ‘himbo’ is sung.

Probably my most re-visited album of 2022 (an excellent year in music).

If you love Lenderman but want even more Jason Molina out of your slacker-infused Americana, this is your guy.

Favs: "Come and Change My Body", "Tower".

I have no idea why this blew up. It’s fine – good, even.

But that part in "Image" where the distorted and heavily clipped bass comes in for the last chorus is one of my favorite moments of 2024.

Prefab Sprout reincarnated.

Would love to perform this for a baffled karaoke bar crowd, just like I did with Sprout's "The King of Rock 'N' Roll" recently.

A great album that I would've loved to love a little bit more.

Nothing else really reaches the heights of single "Delphinium Blue". Or, for that matter, any of the songs on her previous album, which is a contender for greatest album of this (still pretty young) decade.

But I'm expecting this record to accompany me for quite some time, so I'm sure my feelings on it will change.

Yeehaw Jim O’Rourke.

Wake up babe, new YouTube-only indie rock album just dropped.

Evergreen covers album that contains two of my favorite covers of all time: "Fallin' Rain" and "To Love Somebody".

Soundtrack of the summer for the second consecutive year.

We (britpop) are so fucking back.

I guess this is los Daft Punk granaínos?

How I have I not heard this before? That last, almost half-hour long track sounds like a precursor to Paddy McAloon's classic "I Trawl the Megahertz".

This turned 15 yesterday. One of the greatest albums from a great period in American music. (The follow-up is equally as great imo.)

Saw someone on YouTube call them "Arcade Bright Eyes". Reader, I chuckled.

Very promising debut.

Any record that has features from Panda Bear AND Carly Rae Jepsen is a friend of mine.

Fav track: 40 Waves.

It has come to my attention that this album turns 30 today.

Obviously a 5/5. Biggest career drop-off of all time?

Played this in the car and my two-year–old LOVED it.

The kids are alright.

R.I.P. Steve Albini.

Been trying to get into Hovvdy for a minute now, but I could never get past the emo-ish vocals.

Thrilled to announce that I've gotten over it. This record slaps.

It's got twang, it's got a sittin'-on-your-porch-recording-with-your-buddies production style, and it's sprawling double album – of which I am a documented fan.

One of this year's best.

Kenny won.

Remember when she said this album was inspired by Massive Attack, Primal Scream and UK rave culture? Never has an album sounded less than Massive Attack, Primal Scream or UK rave culture.

Happy 35th to the greatest autumn record ever made. Weird that it was released in the middle of spring.

That's a crunchy as hell guitar in the chorus. I hope this is a sign of what's to come.

Happy 30th to the greatest rap album of all time.

This is some wild shit, but I love it so much. A double album, four years in the making. Perhaps their last one? Put up on YouTube without ads. Or purchasable/downloadable in .wav format (via a MegaUpload link!) if you go to fucking GeoCities of all places...

But it's full of brilliant, "off-kilter" (sorry) Brill Building-type pop that sounds like it's being played at the Roadhouse in Twin Peaks. Instant AOTY contender.

Standouts: "Kingdom Come", "Dreams of You", "Government Cheque", "If You Hear Me Crying".

Celebrating the return of Neil Young to Spotify. 🪩

Reminds me quite a bit of Jane Siberry's The Walking, one of the greatest art pop records of the '80s.

Solid.

Flutes: so hot right now.

This is so good. Holter has basically made her own version of a sophisti-pop record, and I fucking love sophisti-pop.

Might actually be better than Have You in My Wilderness for me, although time will tell.

This is such a good song that:

• has an almost-annoying guitar riff that sounds like Jerry Garcia composing music for the Gameboy

• is mixed in the red and sounds like shit on literally any audio equipment (complimentary)

• contains a slightly atonal saxophone solo freakout

• has live drums, but sound like a breakbeat sample from some gospel record from the ‘60s

5 stars, no notes. Excited about this album.

Happy 20th birthday to this classic.

Living on borrowed time, the clock ticks faster

*keanu voice* Yeah I'm thinking it's a 5/5.
