it's tragic to me that he's gone but also that not many people know about Love as Laughter and Lync. Some great music that i truly think holds up. I will always love the Destination: 2000 CD that i still own and blast the song "Margarita" today in his honor.
weird year obviously - but I absorbed so much streaming music and podcasts that they all seem to blur together and nothing really stands out. The 'gum list was interesting but I dont agree at all. The wrong Sault record! No Destroyer?
here's my list:
1. Destroyer | Have We Met
2. SAULT | Untitled (Black Is)
3. Protomartyr | Ultimate Success Today
4. Osees | Protean Threat
5. Sleaford Mods | All That Glue
6. Freddie Gibbs | Alfredo
7. Jay Electronica | A written testimony
8. Yves Tumor | Heaven to a Tortured Mind
9. Shabazz Palaces | The Don of Diamond Dreams
10. Khruangbin | Mordechai
11. Sweeping Promises | Hunger for A Way Out
i gotta give props to the griselda art directors. I'm generally pretty underwhelmed by their music but the covers are amazing! this one is particularly inspired!
i love this band. i think they deserve more credit than just being a great new wave band- they've got a top discography! so many great songs that hold up. Their greatest hits album is killer!
