Thanks @metabrainz for tracking a great year in music.

Another part of my year-end retrospective playlists.
This would be the nite part of the collection. If you've ever had a wild nite, this may be familiar.
It starts normal enough, good Euro club jams, danceable but sort of dark. Then a little weirdness starts to get injected before a specific song I consider the tipping point into the full on weirdness of a great nite that's maybe gone sideways.

Every year I work on some playlists of tracks that came out in the year that I was really into.
I always intend it to be a jumping off point, if you like any of the tracks, you'll probably like jumping deeper into that artist.
But I also want the whole thing to flow nicely. So I usually have some kind of (very loose) theme.
This year I went for sort of a morning, day, nite idea. I'm still working on the morning and nite parts, but the day is done, ENJOY!!

5 years ago we got one of Homeboy Sandman's best albums, thanks in no small part to the production of the incredible Edan.
Homeboy Sandman has a sense of humor and intellect that comes through immensely on every album he does. This one here feels a little more fun but still has a layer of cleverness that only Homeboy Sand could pull off. And then Edan just brings the entire thing to an elevated sonic landscape.

I missed posting about the release of Rid of Me 30 years ago earlier this year in April but the 4-Track Demos release will do.
Rid of Me is an absolutely incredible, raw, in your face album. Hearing it stripped down to just Polly Jean and mostly her guitar really let's you focus on that true rawness that's seeping through the album.

New Kiefer today. I've been listening to this guy since I think pretty early in him releasing anything at all. He's really got killer vibes that mix some jazz piano with synths and hip hop-ish beats to make something pretty unique.
-
There's some great new releases today.
First off, Föllakzoid. They released the album V today and this is going to be a GREAT album for transitioning into fall and then winter. Very lowkey and pulsing for it's entire run. I've really grown to like this group over the past couple of years. They stay in a really satisfying pocket.
-
Another great release today, this time 25 years ago. Mercury Rev I've loved for decades now, but I always leaned into their more psychedelic and warped music.
More recently, I really dug into Deserter's Songs and it all clicked for me. It's a huge twist on a singer/songwriter album, taken to a baroque pop sound with lush arrangements and just solid songwriting and storytelling.

Happy 40th to a solid entry in the long history of Costello albums. Not one I put on all the time compared to others of his albums but only because there's just so much to choose from. And look at that smulder on the cover.

Another nice record store run. A classic PJ Harvey album and of course another Elvis Costello find. Turns out this Rid of Me pressing is an 'unofficial pressing' but still sounds great and is a cool white marble so I'm happy enough.
Thanks Rollin' Records Boise.

BIG DAY for a new release!! Blur are one of those legacy acts for me. I will never get tired of them no matter how long they keep things going and I'll always listen to anything past or present, if the mood strikes (which is often). The Ballad of Darren is a classic Blur album but seen through their most relaxed lens. This album is going to grow and grow on me I am sure.

20 years ago we got this party of an album from Th' Legendary Shack*Shakers (or whatever version of their name you choose). I found these guys late in their game by way of Duane Denison from Jesus Lizard, but man, there aren't many albums more fun than anything they do. Non-stop phsychobilly energy straight through.

5 years ago we got this beautiful ambient album from Laurel Halo. All of her work is really magnificent. I also highly recommend checking out her radio show on NTS (link below). If you're into her music, then you'll really love what she curates. It's exciting she just announced she's got a new album coming out soon.

Another day for mowing. It's getting hot out there so gotta be careful. Started with the new Bully and pulling some weeds and went from there.

15 years ago we got the first record by the fantastic modern afrobeat funk group Karl Hector & The Malcouns. Incredibly tight jams and rhythms on here. Some of their later albums incorporated some really interesting techniques and krautrock elements, but this one is straight up funky afrobeat.

Last up, I've got to bring attention to the 25 year anniversary of Street Fighter Alpha 3. This game put me on a lifelong path of being a Street Fighter diehard. I may not be great at the games, but man do I love the technicality of them. Not to mention the world it drops you into, the characters, the lore, even the music is top notch. I put this soundtrack on regularly.

Next I'll highlight a recent Gorillaz album, The Now Now. This one came out 5 years ago today. This album was really concise and with a very specific chill vibe. I could put this one on and just relax almost anytime. Plus, it's got an ode to the state I live in, one of the most beautiful tracks on the album.
-
Quite a few great releases for today. I'll start with Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty from 25 years ago. Some may say their albums, especially this one, are bloated, but I absolutely love how much they cover and pull together in a single album. The instrumentals on this thing are absolute jams.
-
Not a bad pull from the local record shop today.
Trying to grow my funk collection so Slave was a good find. And I can never pass up some vintage Costello or any Brian Eno.
Thanks Record Exchange Boise!!

Today was a helluva release day. Between Killer Mike, Boris & Uniform, Sigur Rós and Queens of the Stone Age, it was hard to choose which to highlight.
Queens it is because you really can't go wrong with them. It's a solid rock album with Homme doing what he does best. It's nothing flashy or innovative and pretty much stays in the pocket of their "thing". I'll always love them.

20 years ago, DOOM was at the height of his powers. Multiple personas, endless amounts of instrumentals, putting out nonstop gold. The word prolific undersells it. Take Me To Your Leader was one I didn't put on all that much back in the day, but only because I couldn't stop putting on some of his other releases, so it's in no way a comment on its quality. If you like DOOM, you'll like this.

Mowed the backyard today. I measure the time it takes in albums, usually some form of metal because it just makes sense.
Today took one Black Sabbath, one Goatsnake and a bit of a Queens of the Stone Age. Sabbath Blooody Sabbath, Black Age Blues and Era Vulgaris, respectively.

Odd Nosdam has been one of my favorite producers for a long time now. The most unique soundscapes this guy makes. I avoided this album for a good amount of time because it was a remix collection, that was a mistake. This album is a gorgeous odds and ends package and is an integral part of seeing the full scope of Nosdam's powers. Today's it's 15 year anniversary.

I'm a couple days late on this one, but it dropped 10 years ago (and a couple days). I was paying attention to Thundercat before this album, but everything seemed to fall into place on this one. Catchy as hell but still experimental and his unique personality was all over this album. Plus a song named after my favorite Wes Andreson movie? Sold!!

Best rock album release of the day (sorry Foo fans). Bully and Alicia Bognanno may not be doing the type of music that is relevant anymore, but gaw'damn they do a helluva job with it. Gets your blood pumping.

30 years ago this complete mindfuck of an album dropped. Meth of a Rockette's Kick is an absolute beautiful slow burn jam that takes things into straight chaos by the end.
-
Queens of the Stone Age, one of the most consistent groups in rock music. Even their worst album is still solid. This isn't anywhere near their worst though, I'd put it towards the top of the list and it's definitely the best of their recent career albums. This released 10 years ago. Smooth Sailing is a jaaaaaam.

15 years ago we got this masterpiece of a remake along with it's absolute killer soundtrack. A perfect homage to the 80s, corniness and all. I honestly listen to this thing regularly.

This was my entry point into being a Radiohead fan, which released 20 years ago today. I still love this album and grew to love the rest of their albums, though my general love for them waxed and waned over the years based on how pretentious my perspective of their fans were. Their cult following is surely deserved, I was just being immature and letting outside forces dictate what I liked, even if it was a sort of inverse effect.

This was sort of the phase where Wooden Shjips and Moon Duo's differences met in the middle and it was hard to discern one from the other without looking at how the albums were actually made. Not a knock, this album is incredibly smooth and a relaxing listen. This dropped 5 years ago today by the way.
