Doing this again for the eight people who are interested.

I think it’s worth having a list of tunes in my own archives to reflect on what was in my ears in years past, anyway. Always interesting to see how things shift in taste and tone from year to year.

Still not super down with "best of" lists or competitions for art, generally speaking... but here are some of my favorite songs from some of my favorite albums of the past 12 months.

Each artist’s name below is a link to their homepage so you can click through and find out more about any music you find intriguing.

Maybe I’ll write a bit about each at some point during my time off for the New Year… I have an hour free tomorrow I think. Busy busy, booked up into March right now.

Hope everyone is grand and wishing y’all happy new year.
