2018 End of year Mixtapes

[LetMeSleep]

Moved so not lost and easy to search in the future.

I'm not sure if this was a below average year for music or if I'm just getting old. Apart from Mitski I haven't discovered many new artists this year (though I haven't really had the time to try too hard either). So will definitely be checking out the lists from you fine folks over the Xmas break

Here's my annual best of the year mix:

I was across a fair bit more music this year so I'd heard a lot of your list, Brad. For some unknown reason I'd missed the Mitski and Death Cab albums so I'll be checking those out. The Live song made me want to hear where these guys are at in 2018. The Thom Yorke track is lovely yet I have no desire to hear the rest of that release.

Thanks Brad. As always it was a smooth listen.

[Brett]

Thanks, LMS. I was going to do this, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. I have my mix in the works, but still struggling with sequencing and whether I want to do a "double disc" like last year or follow you're example and have a companion EP.

I dunno. I do not enjoy theme parks.

Admittedly don't know you that well, but I would have guessed the opposite.

Here's a playlist of 21 local tracks from 2018 that I loved. Kept it to CD length. Some rock, some indie-type stuff, some jazz, some pop. Lots of good stuff.

[LetMeSleep]

Is all of that from the 70+ Spotify playlist you posted earlier?

[Jorge]

No, but there is some overlap

[epilogue]

These are awesome. Thanks RM.

[LetMeSleep]

Cool. I listened to the other one. Phew.

[Jorge]

What's that supposed to mean?!

[LetMeSleep]

The answer might surprise you.

Oh man, Astroworld was so shitty.

I went twice as a kid. Dirty as hell, crappy rides, rude workers and crazy long lines.

[washing machine]

Crappy rides? Do you even Batman: The Escape, bro?

I saw the Ninja Turtles cover Fight for your Right there once in the amphitheater. So good. Michaelangelo did a shell spin!
