For music, yes. But for movies we do this on the last day of May. So come on over to the Random Movie-Related Thoughts thread!

I dont think i listened to a lot of new music, but these releases are great
Eddie Vedder - Earthling
Warpaint - Radiate Like This
RHCP - Unlimited Love
Jack White - Fear Of The Dawn
I need more time with Lamar, Arcade Fire, Painted Shield and others.

The Smile, Painted Shield, and Wilco are all on my list. I need to check those out. I know there are others that I'm forgetting right now.

yes, I tried very hard to get into the smile's album but it is not very good at all, in my opinion

I've only heard the singles so far, but I really like "The Smoke". I could listen to that bass line all day long.

It's like 2 songs that would've been very exciting as Radiohead songs, and then a bunch of songs that would've been very boring as Radiohead songs

What a great year for new music
What's funny is that (minus king gizzard) it's all people I've been a fan of for like 20-30 years.. but whatever it's new
