Loading... Lindsey Buckingham – On the Wrong Side
His voice is a little strained and his guitar picking has slow, but I can listen to Buckingham's guitar work 24/7. I didnt buy too many new albums but his self titled was my favorite this past year.

Loading... Sharon Van Etten & Angel Olsen – Like I Used To
You know, I still have to check what my real Best Of is, but I really did dig this song. We already played it, but here's the acoustic jam.

Loading... Black Country, New Road – Opus
These seven early-twenty-somethings are part of the same South London scene that produced Black Midi, Squid, and yes, Dry Cleaning. It's virtually impossible to categorize their music, (other than avant-garde), as they mix such disparate elements as post punk, math rock, klezmer and free jazz among their influences. From their 2021 debut album For the First Time. I was gonna play "Black Sunglasses" --the first song of theirs I was introduced to--it's brilliant! Unfortunately, the lyrics to that one are decidedly NSFW. However, if you’re intrigued by “Opus”, you really need to check it out. As one witty You Tube commenter said of "singer"/guitarist Issac Wood, "I like my vocalists to sound like they're standing on a window sill yelling at a police negotiator." Perfect.

Loading... Yuko Uebayashi – Au Delà du Temps
I've started listening to a lot more classical music in the last year*, mainly by streaming MPR's classical station. By luck, I heard this flute piece by Yuko Uebayashi and was thoroughly hooked.
*It's interesting how technology can shape our listening habits. I had been working from home on my personal laptop since the pandemic hit, but the IT department was upgrading laptops, so I finally got one. It's a big improvement for doing work (larger screen, easier access to stuff on the server), but I don't have any sort of music streaming service on it, so my listening habits shifted accordingly.

Loading... Low – Days Like These
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.

Loading... Porcupine Tree – Harridan
This track is too new -- no live performances on video yet. Gavin Harrison gives a real clinic on the drums here.

Loading... 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!"

Loading... 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.
