i, for one, think it's okay to shame people for participating in an attempted coup. because they should be ashamed of themselves. shocking and brave, i know.

uhhhh you know these people participated in an act of domestic terrorism yesterday, right? it's not really about political "views" anymore when your compatriots are stalking the halls of Congress looking for politicians to zip-cuff.

i think of Parquet Courts as just punk, they don't really have that motorik gloominess that i associate with post punk.

thanks to Stereogum for helping keep me sane this year and thanks to RJ's weekend playlist for helping me know what week it is in a year when it was remarkably easy to lose track of time. here are all the songs i added this year, you can think of it as a "songs of the year" but includes a bunch of stuff not from this year so it really encapsulates the fuller picture of what all i was listening to over the course of the year: https://i.ibb.co/qpFQJ0r/weekendsongs2020-2.jpg

Frances Q being totally overlooked on all these lists! her album was a bit on the short side, but really good, plus her cover of "Carry the Zero" is just astonishing

this was much more of a "songs" year than an "albums" year for me, but i did like these albums: (this is not really in any order) Frances Quinlan- Likewise Thy Catafalque- Naiv Kvelertak- Splid Waxahatchee- St. Cloud Dogleg- Melee Sada Baby- Skuba Sada 2 Fiona Apple- Fetch the Bolt Cutters Igorrr- Spirituality and Distortion Mare Cognitum- Wanderers (the Spectral Lore songs were okay too, but Mare Cognitum crushed it) Ulcerate- Stare Into Death and Be Still Esoctrilihum- Eternity of Shaog Jeff Rosenstock- No Dream Boris- No Adrianne Lenker- Songs Aesop Rock- Spirit World Field Guide and of course the Save Stereogum comp!

damn, none of my all-time faves made the cut! Money Trees Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst Momma (best song on Butterfly, don't @ me) Hood Politics FEEL (some of his twistiest bars, so underrated)

Tom admitted during the Zoom Party that he was pulling adjectives out of his ass for albums he hadn't even listened to, and it was getting tiresome and pointless

is there anything more embarrassing than someone as absurdly wealthy and famous as Justin Bieber publicly pitying themselves? i had to literally walk out of the room during that SNL performance.

i quoted so liberally from "Sleep" for a college poetry project that i should have been disqualified for plagiarism. i've enjoyed everything they released post-Skinny Fists to some extent, but this is forever the pinnacle. i'm pretty sure i bought this album and Kid A on the same trip to Barnes & Noble, which is a hell of a one-two punch of abstract post-millenial dread. i caught them at the Church of St. Paul on the first reunion tour and it was completely fucking transcendent. what is everyone's favorite section? for me it's a dead heat between "Broken Windows, Locks of Love" and "She Dreamt She Was a Bulldozer"

the French/French-Canadian wing of anarchism has always leaned a bit more poetic and starry-eyed than the angry sloganeering version. The Coming Insurrection often reads more like an epic poem than a manifesto.

Deftones and SOAD are definitely at the top of the nu metal power ranking, some people still ride for early Korn, Slipknot, and/or Incubus but pretty much everything else is still widely agreed upon garbage

guilty as charged! to be fair, i more or less understand what tiktok is, and i know what grime is, but i still can't make heads or tails out of why a teenage girl making faces to some random grime track is the most popular tiktok video of all time.

tough call between the title track and Fotzepolitic i love that Cocteau Twins have a glossary on their website, i just learned that Fotzepolitic means "c*nt politics", which is not what i expected from such a beautiful song
