[LetMeSleep]

Guys, it's still November.

Guys, it's still November.

I’d be curious to know if there’s anything of impact that anticipated to come out in December?

4 Boygenius - The Album

My guess is that this is the only one we will still be listening to in 5 years.

4 Boygenius - The Album

My guess is that this is the only one we will still be listening to in 5 years.

i liked it enough, but Lana´s is a way better and challenging album for sure. Ill listen my top 3 for a long time for sure.

[Ello Sailor]

Spottie Wrapped

Top 5 songs:

1. Baroness - The Dirge
2. Qotsa - Paper Machete
3. The Smashing Pumpkins - Cenotaph
4. Blur - Barbaric
5. The Smashing Pumpkins - Steps in Time

Top 5 artists:

1. The Smashing Pumpkins
2. Baroness
3. Qotsa
4. NIN
5. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

526 unique artists, which is way down on last year. I got the "Hypnotist" tag for mostly listening to albums all the way through. Righto. I also apparently share top artists with people in Eugene, Oregon -- which I can only take to mean that Spotify thinks (knows?) I'm a fixie riding chode. Good stuff.

[epilogue]

At this moment, my top 15 is something like this:

Maps - billy woods and Kenny Segal
Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd - Lana Del Rey
Age of Pleasure - Janelle Monáe
The Record - boygenuis
Weathervanes - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

Lucky For You - Bully
Let’s Start Here - Lil Yachty
My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross - ANOHNI and the Johnsons
Dead Meat - The Tubs
Angels In Science Fiction - St. Paul & The Broken Bones

Desire, I Want To Turn Into You - Caroline Polachek
Chris Black Changed My Life - Portugal.The Man
Heavy, Heavy - Young Fathers
This Is Why - Paramore
Nite Swim - Lily & Madeleine

Those top 6 are pretty interchangeable, though. On another day any of them could move up/down. All of them are 5 star, killer records.

Desire, I Want To Turn Into You - Caroline Polachek

I loved this one as well, way better than other pop like Midnights, but not sure I'll be listening to it in 5 years.

[Jorge]

Can't make a list yet. Whole fucking month left

Yeah, I'm not sure why I jumped the gun. I blame Buby!

My bad!
I did a quick peek at a couple of lists with December releases, felt pretty safe.

[Jorge]

It's not so much about what's coming out in December as I just need more time to process everything
