DITCH SPOTIFY WRAPPED

I try not to be a hater but honestly this shit is getting on my nerves! I see the same five artists on almost everyone's top five. Nothing wrong with mainstream, but if there's a point to all of this exhibitionism it's probably be to find new music that you might not discover on your own (though that's contradictory to the algorithm... which is a different conversation altogether). Not even to mention that less and less people are using Spotify, which is likely for the best. Instead of posting your Spotify wrapped this year rant about some music that you've really been loving. Maybe it's under the radar, maybe it's not; so long as you love it spread the joy. These are my 2024 AOTY’s: Cindy Lee’s Diamond Jubilee; MJ Lenderman’s Manning Fireworks; Jessica Pratt’s Here in the Pitch; English Teacher’s This Could Be Texas; Waxahatchee’s Tiger’s Blood; Shellac’s To All Trains; Mount Eerie’s Night Palace; Vampire Weekend’s Only God Was Above Us; Geordie Greep’s The New Sound; Mk.gee’s Two Star and the Dream Police Honorable mentions: Charli XCX’s Brat; Adrienne Lenker’s Bright Future; Chief Keef’s Almighty So 2; A Country Western’s Life on the Lawn; Courting’s New Last Name; Hurray For The Riff Raff’s The Past Is Still Alive; The Smile’s Wall of Eyes; Kim Gordon’s The Collective; JPEGMAFIA’s I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU Cheers 'n happy listening 🍻

(in no particular order) * Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us (standout track: classical) So fucking good, feels like summer, feels like NY, weird and wonderful * St. Vincent - All Born Screaming (standout track: big time nothing) She only gets better - a return to form and new at the same time * Salami Rose Jones & Flanafi - Sarah (standout track: the severity) If you like your music weird - this is the one. Sometimes calm, sometimes crazy, underrated..... i will continuously shout this out * Declan McKenna - What Happened to the Beach? (standout track: elevator hum) A lot of tracks feel like your floating - good lyrics, infectious grooves * Saya Gray - QWERTY II (standout track: AA BOQUET FOR YOUR 180 FACE) Saw this live - wild. Whole discography goes crazy and every release is a curveball - most exciting artist right now * Loukeman - Sd-2 (standout track: Baby You're a Star) Shoutout Blenum putting me on this... amazing production, cool blend of acoustic and electronic.... cool deffo illegal sampling * Charli XCX - Brat (standout track: Sympathy is a Knife) .... it's Brat

fly well, brian wilson

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God "Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love) I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot." God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

When your new book is finally available for preorder ❤️

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
