One of the best tracks on the unfortunately titled Western C*m, another banger of an album from Cory Hanson. I had all sorts of delusions about having a bunch of interesting things to say about music this year in this post but I just couldn't find the time... which I guess is a perfect summation of 2023, which I'm not too sad to see come to an end soon. Hope everyone is doing well!

Loading... Hi!
So my search to find a live video that did my two favorite rock records of the year justice (DEATHWESTERN and God's Country) was futile. I knew I wasn't going to find anything off the rap albums I had in extremely heavy rotation all year (but seriously thanks for the tunes Curren$y, Jay Worthy, and Ramirez!). Then remembered my song of the summer.
"Girls."
J & I watched the MV for this in bed the first night it dropped, and I was pretty instantly smitten. The production rules and had what seemed like a bunch of lore being referenced in the song, so I had to know more. Then we proceeded to listen to this mini album in the car basically all year long. We started going to this neighborhood market all the way on the other side of Winnipeg which is just a long enough drive I don't have a lot of deeper meaning for this one. It's just a banger, and I like the vibes.
I feel bad for not being around much, but, you know, life is a lot. I hope next year is better and that I can see y'all around more in 2023. <3

I was really, really struggling to find suitable videos for my post from my favorite album of the year (VAR! by Pony Hunt - seriously check it out!) or my most listened to artist (Curren$y), and settled on posting a song by Cory Hanson. Who was also my pick on the Summer Mix. But honestly, I keep coming back to this album. It's an excellent, weird listen. Which I guess is perfect for another weird year. Anyway, enjoy the song, check out the record, and stay safe. Hopefully concerts are a thing again for me soon, "lol!"

And given the state of the world, it's a challenge to find a suitable video for the stuff I did like this year. That being said, this Oceanator album absolutely whips, and I highly recommend it.

(1 votes, average: 7.00 out of 10)Loading... So my work situation has changed a few times in the last year, and it’s always impacted my music listening habits. I find that where, when, and why have a huge influence on what I dig into.
I was already working from home when this all started. And I’ve found working from home has decreased the amount of music I listen to. I find myself watching a lot more TV and movies while I work, and music is strictly a thing for in the car. Most of my car listening would happen on my trips to Winnipeg and back and with those on hold, it’s going to be a change.
I’ve been going for 30-40 minute drives every day or two to clear my mind and get out of the house. I’ll probably switch to walks once it’s nicer. I have been using these times for music, and I find myself listening to old favorites. The stuff we’d listen to driving around in high school and stuff.
How has this impacted you? Do you find yourself listening to more or less music? Finding new things or revisiting? Do you wanna drop a list?
Her new album, Saint Cloud, is out today. I can’t wait to check it out.

Sometimes you feel like you want to kick a hole in the wall, but it’s better to listen to a song that makes you feel like you can.

Their first record was great, and they just finished a crowdfunding campaign to buy their masters back for their new record from their awful old label. It’s one of the things I am most excited for this year.
