Can I nominate Cardi B as the worst thing I have ever heard in my life?

Father John Misty, Roger Waters, and Gorillaz

Greta Van Fleet is right up there with the Joanna Newsom outputs and The Monitor (which is really a 00's album at it's heart) as my favorite of the decade.

Every song is consistently awesome.

I remembered there was a new Morrissey album. Now I wish I didn't. It's pretty boring, as Morrissey and Marr often are without each other.

Couldn't really get into Greta Van Fleet, ultimately just too derivative to truly enjoy. Same problem I had with Tame Impala.

Oxbow - The Thin Black Duke
Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper
Amenra - Mass VI
Drunk in Hell - Drunk in Hell
Nicole Atkins - Goodnight Rhonda Lee
GNOD - Just Say No to the Psycho Right-Wing Capitalist Fascist Industrial Death Machine
Slowdive - s/t

The new Pissed Jeans and Sleaford Mods were the biggest disappointments (SAD!).

1. Manchester Orchestra - Black Mile
2. Father John Misty - Pure Comedy

It was a weak year I think.

edit: I guess distant honorable mentions to The New Pornographers, Kurt Vile / Courtney Barnett, and Circa Survive.

You know what, I never really got into Joanna Newsom. I listened to Ys once maybe five or six years ago and it was too foofy.

I'd probably like the New Pornographers' CD more if I didn't have Electric Version, Twin Cinema or Challengers to compare it to. The set a very high standard with those releases.

I listened to less new music this year than I have in many years. I liked the new Father John Misty the most and also enjoyed the new
War on Drugs and Fleet Foxes. Bagels, thanks for letting me know Feist had a new one out. I am giving it a spin now.

Father John was in town not long ago....was teaching (and am way too old) that night, so couldn't go....but he's got a following here. We should see him next time he comes.

I'd love to see him live. I listen to music on YouTube almost all day and came across a live concert from Pitchfork of one of his shows. It is a good
listen if you are working on something and want to have something on in the background.
