At the end of the year every publication arrogantly thinks their lists should open minds to what music has offered over the past 365 days, and I cannot throw stones because I am no different.
nice to see albums i loved in here (revenge and others) and also a few things i hadn't heard of. most of the major year end critics lists were fine but filled with albums everyone had heard already, you put some nice eclectic picks into the mix that i'll have to check out. paradoxically i'm quite glad i had an embarrassing boygenius stan phase (thankfully very much over) because i discovered this lovely substack. even when i don't agree with your takes i still find your articles to be well-written and well-argued. keep writing and keep hating!
I have a crush on you Eli
i have a crush on you too
thanks for all the recs as usual 😗 what did you think of hornet disaster?

11 and 12 are spot on. I went to both of their shows in NY and they are my two top breakout artists this year. Artists! Stars! So good!
