There was yacht rock, indie, hip hop, alt-country and even some 70s coffee shop folk on my list this year (was I sad? Nostalgic? prepping for a podcast?) but the Supervillain clearly dominated my listening patterns in ‘24

Incredibly well researched deep dive into hip hop history and DOOM’s unmatched place in it. I remember when DOOM passed I couldn’t help but feel like a friend had died, despite him being notoriously private, and this book calls that feeling out by name within the first few pages.
It’s a respectful and insanely addictive read

The good and the bad! I did it in '22 with Pink Floyd, currently going through Lou Reed. Prince is next.

As someone who *loves* the 80’s and 90’s and even modern stuff it has to be the 70’s anyways lol.. I could rattle off names all fucking day and wouldn’t even be half close to done. My only regret would be that you only get the first cure album but I think I can live with it.. Springsteen to Eno to Rundgren to Clapton to Yes… Bowie and Kraftwerk and Roxy Music… I have to cut myself off because I haven’t even gotten into metal or jazz… it keeps getting more ridiculous. Again my only complaint is that you miss out on most goth stuff but I’ll live I think

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 🙏🏻

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! ❤️
