While I wasn’t especially prolific this year I would like to point out that I also had the #1 comment for the first week of the year and it was for shifting on bloc.

Bookends, bitches.

wow Win almost Kunkle’d out this week. That’s p impressive.

I’m having fun listening through all of the releases that slipped through my ears this year, and ones that have been released in the time since. The Horror’s album is spectacular, Charli XCX’s latest is a stunning pop banger.

Huncho Jack is mostly a disappointment from a performance angle for the most part (the further Travis strays from his Days Before Rodeo/Rodeo style the more mundane he becomes, also I think I’m realizing a whole album of Quavo without his other Migos is way too much Quavo and that makes me appreciate Offset and Takeoff even more). I’m planning on listening to the National album in the next day or so, but I can’t handle another full length Gucci Mane project (sry Gucci). I also don’t believe that Offset and Cardi B’s relationship is real.

Thanks for a great year of comments, I thoroughly appreciate the commentariat for keeping me distracted at work this year, the Gum by standing out from other music websites, cokeparty’s essay length forays into the past, YBB’s uncanny memory and videos/pics of bloc’s dog that I see on twitter. what is this majestic creature’s name???

merry xmas u bastards

The problem with yelling “Show me the receipts!” is that sometimes people actually have them.

Merry Xmas, all. A nicer lot of ruffians one couldn’t ask for.

Bloc

Is it really that surprising that the lord isn’t returning

Darlene was Lorde before Lorde was Lorde.

Have a merry Christmas, y’all! Or happy holidays if you’re a libtard.

And what about her barrs

Don’t sign ur posts

Her beats tho.

Really? What are the names of your relatives that served in the idf?? I have the ability to find their data if so. Your full of SHIT. I know I.T for a fact

Btw, I will continue to call people a bitch if they are. As I will continue to call people a dick, which u probably are

It’s funny that the list of artists that have boycotted Israel (Rihanna, Selena Gomez, lorde) are lists of people who you can assume lack even the most basic understanding of Middle East politics while the list of artists who are known to be thoughtful and open minded (nick cave, Elton John, Radiohead).

Glad you cheer for people who take things at face value when a bunch of alt-left anti-semites who don’t understand the issue are able to convince clueless musicians to follow suit.

What a bitch

for actual moments, nothing will top listening to Sufjan’s “The Only Thing” out of my iphone speaker with my daughter on my chest in the hospital at 6:00 in the morning the day after she was born. Excuse my while I get sappy and emotional, but that was probably the musical highlight of my life. The Only Thing has become my go-to bedtime lullaby, and I couldn’t ask for a better memory of my daughter.

Blessings to all, enjoy every moment you can and never forget to cherish the ones you love.
