For all you Deadheads...KEXP's DJ Riz is doing a 'Day of the Grateful Dead' this afternoon, and its been great.

Shamir dropped a new single. Pretty damn good.

Like one of the YouTube comments said, a new non-binary national anthem.

I don't want to read the article because this is the first time I've seen Idles mentioned in anything but fawning terms and I don't want to find out the article is like 90% positive.

I don't listen to as much music as I used to, but Crawler is easily the best new album I've heard so far this year and I don't think it's especially close.

Just listening now... this is good. Got a Mark Lanegan thing going on.

These last two posts don't bother me at all.

That makes me sad. But hopefully I have a new awesome album to listen to today!

Home Video and How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last are going to be very high on my Spotify most played in 2021 list.

Sierra Ferrell's debut album is one of my favourites of 2021 (and I thought I posted this before, but the fantastic search didn't show anything.)

What caused the death of rock, especially female fronted bands? Capitalism, baby!

As someone who worked for a long time in a radio-adjacent field can absolutely vouch for that analysis. You'd be shocked how few employees a typical radio station has these days. It's basically a broom closet with a transmitter. The Clear Channels and Entercoms have bled it dry.

We can only hope a video comes out of Ben Shapiro singing this song like WAP.

And just to laugh at Ben:

Really fascinating interview here with Steve Albini.

Think there's probably a lot of overlap between what a lot of us have gone through since many of us are of a similar age. Kind of nice to see someone take some responsibility for their mistakes and own them instead of just shifting the blame to someone or something else.

I know there aren't many reggae fans here - but if you do like the heavy riddims, this is tremendous stuff.

Making my final push through the 2021 new releases before making my lists and damn, Yola is pretty fantastic.

My youngest took a really weird pic this weekend on a trail walk where she just wanted to yell in the woods and it made her face all blurry and it took me like 30 seconds to figure out what it reminded me of.

Great song, but I can't get past the missed opportunity to rhyme connection with erection. It was right there!

Oldest put their Spotify year end update on the insta. Listened to over 33 days worth of spotify this year. That seems like a lot.

(Top 5 - Taylor Swift, Claud, Lucy Dacus, The Marias, Kendrick Lamar)

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Dec 01, 2021 12:02 pm

I know 3 of 5 (and am now interested if Bridgers and/or Baker made the top 10 and if not, why not).

1. Beach House

How do you get to the data? I only get a playlist of my top tracks.

My top artist this year was Marvin Gaye, which apparently I'm in the 98%ile of Marvin Gaye listeners. I would not have guessed that.

This song just came on the radio and in my mind and it sounds a lot like a song I remember, but not quite? So either I've slightly altered it in my memory or there's another song that really does sound like this or a prominent cover or something?

1. Phoebe Bridgers
2. CHVRCHES
3. Julien Baker
4. Frightened Rabbit
5. Deafheaven

That sounds about right.

Mine was completely skewed by personal projects I had of listening to the complete discographies of some of my favorite artists along with a top 100 list of best experimental hip hop.

1. The Hold Steady
2. Bruce
3. Lucero
4. MF Doom
5. Madlib

MF Doom, finally a name I'm familiar with beyond seeing you guys talk about. Unless Bruce refers to Springsteen or Hornsby.

My top artist was Billie Holiday. Solely because when I listen to spotify (instead of KEXP) I mostly listen to the Murakami vinyl collection playlist, which has a boatload of Billie Holiday.

It is the Boss. It took a while to get through his list.
