Best of 2022
My personal musical loves of 2022. These lists are not for everyone, but if you know me and have some crossover in taste, you’re sure to find something interesting. There’s a lot of music out there, and it’s getting harder to find the good stuff. Easy to navigate playlists on Spotify and Deezer links below.… Read more

Best of 2021
My annual roundup of new music discovered throughout the year in the all familiar two-list fashion: one uptempo, and the other one leaning more to…well…let’s just call it ‘sad bastard’ music. I managed to whittle them down to 40 tracks each. These are my personal choices and I have no allegiance to any band, artist,… Read more

Best of 2020
My annual round-up of music that did it for me. This year was a decent split between heavy post-punk, shoegaze, and imaginary soundtrack music. Neubauten made a stylish comeback this year. A. A.

I purposefully left out releases from 2019 as it feels too… Read more

In its place, more soundtrack, classical, and incidental type music mostly due to the increase in writing and… Read more

Music of 2018
2018 was a great year for new music. Picking 20 was a struggle. Even trying to limit the playlists to a reasonable length was harder than I anticipated. My top 3 from the list were Low, Medicine Boy and Black Belt Eagle Scout. A colleague once said that a new album by Bob Dylan or… Read more

Music of 2017
My annual favourite music list is ready to go, albeit a little late by my standards. It was a great year for new music, and I found myself checking out other year end lists as there was just so much I’d never heard of. I made one major discovery from those lists: Lingua Ignota –… Read more
