Q:favorite songs and albums of the year so far?
This has definitely been more of a “singles” year than an “albums” year with me so far. The musical world I spend most of my time in is still geeking out over the “emo revival”, which frankly I find to be pretty boring. Really, that’s the same issue I had with this strain of late 90’s midwestern emo that everyone is now aping the first time around.
In terms of albums, a few I’ve really enjoyed:
Against Me! - Transgender Dysphoria Blues (still my AOTY)
Antarctigo Vespucci - Soulmate Stuff
Myrone - Myrone
Allison Weiss - Remember When
and then there are a handful, like Bleacher’s s/t , St. Vincent’s s/t, Foxy Shazam's Gonzo and Paolo Nutini's Caustic Love where I really love maybe half the album but could take or leave the other half.
As for singles, I keep a running Spotify playlist of my favorite songs of the year, but if I had to pick a handful, probably my most played include:
T-Pain - “Royals (Remix)”
Andrew Goldstein - “Birds”
Dazy (the Girl) - “I Told You So”
Masked Intruder - “The Most Beautiful Girl”
Usher - “Good Kisser”
Darlia - “Dear Diary”
Herve & Zebra Katz - “Tear The House Up”
The Holidays - “Tongue Talk”
Rachel Taylor - “Come Alive”
Becky G - “Shower”
