The new Low album was absolutely amazing. Quite the headphone album, although some of the (planned) distortion sounds like your headphones/speakers got blown out. It's interesting to think that while Low was playing this song, I was in a taxi on my nighttime trek to Aguas Calientes to see Machu Picchu.

Porcupine Tree – Harridan
This track is too new -- no live performances on video yet. Gavin Harrison gives a real clinic on the drums here.
Harridon: "a strict, bossy, or belligerent old woman"
Cory Hanson – Paper Fog
Hey y'all. Another year, another best of! 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!"
Turnstile – Blackout
My actual two favorite songs of the year ("Hardline" by Julien Baker and "4Runner" by Rostam) have already been played on the site, and impossibly, there does not exist any good live footage of "Great Mass of Color" by Deafheaven. So I'm going hardcore.
Glow On was a great album. Album opener "Mystery" lights a fuse, and "Blackout" comes along with the inevitable explosion.
Jon Batiste – I Need You
Let's see if I got this "Best Of" started off right...
