I prefer the original version.
Animal Collective - Isn't It Now?
84
Not all the songs have reached the level of their best album (especially King's Walk) , but it is more diversified and interesting than Time Skiffs.
Sufjan Stevens - Will Anybody Ever Love Me?
NR
His best song since My Rajneesh

Hey Openblinds, I am once again an AOTY user asking for your time.

Self-promos aren’t something I usually feel comfortable doing, since if you’re not interested in what I’m promoting then I don’t really wanna make you watch something you don’t care about. And if that’s the case, feel free to just ignore me, I probably won’t ever do shoutbox promos again anyway lol. But I recently dropped Part 1 of my top 20 songs of 2023 and spent a TON of time on editing and stuff so I’m gonna self-indulge a little bit here. If you’ve got the time or it sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d love to know what you think of it! Thank you!

What’s up, Openblinds? I know you probably get a lot of these, but this is important. To celebrate the end of the year in music and two hundred followers, I’m creating my first community list! All you have to do is send me your top 5 singles of the year! They can be ranked or not– it doesn’t matter. Also, you can add up to two honorable mentions! Here’s my list for reference:

1. Bending Hectic by The Smile
2. The Gods Must Be Crazy by Armand Hammer
3. Sorry Not Sorry by Tyler the Creator
4. The Blades by Squid
5. SCARING THE HOES by JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown

Honorable Mentions: We Shine At Night by Parannoul, Jenn’s Terrific Vacation by Danny Brown

Each song in the top five equals 2 points. Each honorable mention equals 1 point . After I get some entries, I’m gonna tally up all the points to see what the top songs were. I’ll contact you when the list is out! Peace! ✌️

Hey! OpenBlinds Hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to let you know that my band’s debut album, “Empty Homes in Blue Light” is out now on all platforms! I appreciate if you end up giving it a shot, and if not no worries at all :) Here’s the AOTY link if you’re interested:

Hey OPENblinds! Thanks for being part of my journey to 100 followers. As a celebration, I'm making a community list with help of all my former 100 followers. The theme of the list is "perfect albums to introduce a hip-hop head to other genres", you can suggest up to 3 albums and add a description to each; it doesn't matter what genre they belong to, they can even be hip-hop albums that branch out to other genres. I'd appreciate your answer.
