Albums of 2016

[Jorge]

New Mitski album is really wonderful. This has been a great year for music I think.

I'm listening to this right now and it's one of the better things I listened to this year!

She played with Colbert's band last night. I really like this performance-- wish the album version had some of those jazzy keyboard fills

You did it again
You shot your mouth off
Barring experience
You went with your own interactions
The blood on the ground
Could never be unjust
An Examination
Without Context
Of economic structures

Wrong Town
Watch For The Blue
Wrong Town
Watch For The Blue

“I don’t even see color
That’s why
I dismiss your fight”
Gonna write on the walls
Scribble out “black” for “all”
My voice really matters
It wasn’t already determined
To benefit
my life
that’s why
Can’t get out the way

Wrong Town
Watch For The Blue
Wrong Town
Watch For The Blue

There’s a bullet for every second
There’s a bullet for every year
There’s a bullet for every son
There’s a bullet for every daughter

And this is a different neighborhood
So sorry to inconvenience you
But this is a different neighborhood
So sorry to inconvenience you

Wrong Town
Watch For The Blue
Wrong Town
Watch For The Blue

[i got bugs]

I've been meaning to dl common.. any good??

[Kaius]

It's only been getting "work background music" listens, but I really like it so far.

[Kevin Davis]

Smart dudes:

My Woman is pretty great throughout.

Really enjoying the new Angel Olsen - it's scratching the PJ Harvey itch that HSDP failed to do

Pretentious idiot:

I thought the first two Angel Olsen singles were pretty crappy, but "Sister" was good. Her lyrics are a big stumbling block for me

This is a damn good album.

[Norah]

Finally listening to Car Seat Headrest. This record is fantastic, and I've heard like half of these songs on SiriusXM's channel 35 over the course of the year.

[Norah]

I'm gonna finally give the new Angel Olsen a spin after this.

[chewm]

I should give the Angel Olsen one another spin as well, I only listened to it once but didn't think much of it.

I really liked the few songs I heard here and there, just never got around to listening to it all.
