I’ve never seen them but I got to see Mara Volta.

I don’t know what to make of this

Top albums seems right

Tagging @popvulture for the Dutch Interior rec

greatest Christmas song:

@SKT my listening age was also unexpectedly high (70), maybe skewed by artists #4 + 5? Top albums looks about right (and probably owes something to this place).

[SKT]

@ARNC man tell me about it. I owe so many musical discoveries to the forum. It must only take a few albums to bump that listening age

Here we go.

[popvulture]

@SKT yes!!! And glad to see Neil got some major play. Ditch Trilogy forever.

Sort of a weird year for me for Wrapped because I ditched Spotify for about 6 mos due to their Sith Lord CEO. Tidal annoyed me too much, so I’ve come back until I find another replacement… but anyway here’s my list

[popvulture]

Also, RIP Steve! ️

[SKT]

@popvulture that Chicago Sessions was another of your recs that got a lot of spin by me last year. Will check out the Ty Segall record too

[Tago Mago]

No vinyl today:

@anodyne said in Music:

Any Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy fans?

Very much so. I am the only one whose favourite album is Greatest Palace Music. That version of Gulf Shores is one of my all time favourites. I See a Darkness is such a beautiful album. One hell of a songwriter.

[Daysleepers]

There are two clear outliers there. I cannot abide pop music, unless it’s a swooning sad lady.

[SKT]

More wrapped stats. Wilco heavy this year because I went to 2 shows and my son loves these 2 songs. Panda Bear is all @GraemeE

[GraemeE]

@SKT imho the best side project to come out of the animal collective crew

Glad you dig

Ironically I just looked and #3 on my list was something you had suggested to me a while back

[SKT]

@GraemeE man thats a great song…love this list too

@Daysleepers @anodyne 1000%

Lost Blues and Other Songs is my favorite of his so far. "West Palm Beach" and "Horses" on there always gives me epic feels, and "Ohio River Boat Song" is a great opener. I love how unvarnished the whole thing is.

@popvulture were you in Mississippi when he played Jackson (Martin's) and Hattiesburg (Thisty Hippo) in 2004? Those were fun.

[Daysleepers]

@mclaincausey yes!

I got into Oldham as a teen when my uncle made me a mixtape of sad American music. I have a lot to thank him for for that, had Smog and J Tillman as the other standouts.

Bill Callahan, David Berman and Will Oldham are all in a group in my head. Chuck them in with Tweedy and maybe Isbell, and they’re the defining songwriters of my life.
