I've listened to maybe a quarter of them, with mixed results

[rettucs]

Hmm. Sunn O))) at the Royal Festival Hall was a highlight for me.

Album wise, meh. Can't think of one.

3. Tove Styrke - Kiddo
4. Charli XCX - Sucker
5. Lonelady - Hinterland

Kudos to Prince for releasing probably the weakest album of his career

I don't know any of these except for DAngelo. I'm so out of touch and I'm totally ok with that.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Oh, it's just stuff I like, I wouldn't really say a lot of it is in touch with the yoof or popular culture in general.

Here, I made a playlist, broken into two ten track playlists:

Tropical Banger House was the sound of 2K15

 

[Hector Grey]

I haven't heard anything this year that interests me. And stuff like Sufferin' Stevens I haven't even listened to. I don't have time or energy for new music any more. It's fucking tragic. What should I listen to? What was good? Not Joanna "Fucking" Newsome, because she gives me an aneurysm and makes me puke up my own pelvis. I'm allergic to twee as well.So that seems to rule out nearly everything these days.

 

[nooleen]

what about, ummm...

yeah i don't give a crap anymore either

i bet rihanna's new album is great, i should listen to that
