2017 end of the year lists

I thought that was "Wild Fire"

that anna tivel song/album are great though

Just out of idle curiosity: that last Rolling Stones album, Blue and Lonesome, came out in December 2016, too late for a lot of last year's lists. Has it showed up anywhere this year?

not according to this aggregator http://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/63124-the-rolling-stones-blue-lonesome.php

have to say I'd find it a weird, or at least very surprising, inclusion

xxxpost Anna Tivel and Jeffrey Martin are two Portland folk singers who should be much more widely known, imo. they tour together, play on each others' songs (and I assume they are in a relationship, tho I'm not positive). Martin put out an incredible album this year, too:

listen to "Poor Man" at least

lol @ 11 on the noz list

aside from his cosign of t shirt which i still find 'ok' lol i find it vindicating to see in the comments hes basically in agreement w me about migos/future/thug burnout

read that as "they are in a relationship, tho it's not positive" and thought that was a pretty harsh zing

anna tivel is a perfect fit for anybody who actually gives a shit about short stories which appear in the new yorker

i'm more interested in the "cat people" of pop songs

i don't think i'm hip enough to listen to any of this! nothing i had heard of until page 5

Lists like that don't make me feel un-hip. They make me grateful there's people out there curating stuff I wouldn't have heard otherwise. Thanks for the list.

cool stuff on that list, thanks, need to hear SUED 16 and the Christoph de Babalon right off the bat

A lot of it was only familiar from being on their mailing list (which is well worth signing up for). Though plenty was completely new to me.

Yeah, that's my take on it as well. I enjoy investigating lists like this.

this is just the worst attitude, i mean, really??

Listening to the Heavy Metal band off that list. Shades of Earl Brutus/The Pre New, but we'll see if it takes

I am kind of getting Nathan Barley vibes off that list tbh

don't you have a thread for this, my friend, do you need another one?

everybody be nice to blackest ever black!!!

otm

dig the stuff i know off that list, will be checking the other 99% out haha

the 154 reissue is a must, if you're into super gauzy ambient with muted kick drums

no wire jokes, imago

davy kehoe album sounded good from the couple of tracks i heard. don't totally buy into the whole BEB aesthetic project though tbh

this is just the worst attitude, i mean, really??

― brimstead

no malice meant. it's been a very long year and i'm very tired. i feel like i put in a lot of work listening to music, obviously it's rewarding and enjoyable but it's also work, and to see somebody come up with a list of fifty records i've heard nary a whiff of is kind of depressing.

I'm giving this list a go ffs

xp it's kinda funny, rushomancy, because i remember you posting a 2016 list last year and i was all "whoa i ain't heard of ANY of this"

i mean, i remember you posting your personal 2016 list

Three pages in and the only name I even recognize is Photek.

― brimstead

that's why it's depressing! i kind of feel like a personal failure for not having heard of any of blackest ever black's list. it feels like stuff i _should_ have known about.

ha, no worries, this is always a humbling time of year, see also the Textura list

not to mention blues rock review amirite?
