Julien Baker – Televangelist

I'm a fan of Baker's whole new album, but I chose this song because midway through it sounds to me like there's a little tip of the hat to Joni Mitchell's "River," which I nominated for this year's WGOMXMASMIX. Please listen and tell me if you hear it too!

Weezer — Happy Hour

Runner daughter informs me that she's a big Weezer fan, so I guess that means I'll have to move on now. (btw, she preferred "Feels like Summer")

Some of the others I considered from 2017 (in no order):

I'm just impressed that I'm "relevant" enough to know more than one song that came out this year.

War on Drugs – Strangest Thing

I'm pretty sure that this one is my runaway favorite song of the year. I had the pleasure of seeing them play it live with DK when the band came through town a couple of months ago. The big BOOM right before the breakdown was my favorite part of the show, and is probably my favorite moment in music this year.

Apologies for the late post (and overposting on CH's solid second choice), but...

Tinariwen – Assàwt (The Voice of Tamashek Women)

Looks like I get a second day...

This song is a tribute to the Tamashek women fighting for freedom in Tinariwen’s homeland, Mali. The band, which has been exiled, recorded the album it appears on in Paris, Morocco, & Joshua Tree (I’m wondering if that was at Josh Homme’s studio). Collaborators on the album included Mark Lanegan, Kurt Vile, & Alain Johannes.
