SO tough to do lists like this. So much good stuff. And I’m sure so much stuff I didn’t even get to listen to. People say, There’s no good music made now. Yeah? You’re living in the past, maaaaaan. There is. You’re just not paying attention. Or you prefer trotting out that well-worn phrase online to sound cool. Shut up and start digging and confabbing with other people. And listening. There’s always new stuff, and hey – some of it is awesome. AND…support your local independent record store. (No, I was not paid to say that. I’d hope it was common sense.)
