Japanese Breakfast - Psychopomp
100
ever since i first heard Japanese Breakfast's Psychopomp, i've thought more highly of it in comparison to most others. since September, however, i've been on such a huge Japanese Breakfast kick, following me bringing my score of this up to the 90s range upon more listens. i've grown so much admiration for Michelle Zauner through some articles on her and tons of Japanese Breakfast videos. today i was visiting NY with my family and gave this album 2 more listens throughout it: once on the subway ... read more

[Queen discog dive, pt. 6]
with News of the World, Queen starts to lose a bit of their momentum in terms of energy, instrumentation, and songwriting. some tracks don't feel completely fleshed out and feel like they end abruptly, but even with that it still remains quite consistent and maintains a few highlights.
Queen - A Day at the Races

[Queen discog dive, pt. 5]
5 months into the Queen discog dive and i've barely made progress, yikes. anyways, A Day at the Races is a true successor to A Night at the Opera. while it nearly reaches the same peaks as it, it still provides energizing performances, rich choral moments here and there, and great vocal performances from Freddie Mercury as always. first 8 tracks all hold up well, while the final two don't exactly reach the same highs.
Deerhoof - Breakup Song

April 2nd 2023: i notice ‘Miracle-Level’ by Deerhoof featured among new releases on AOTY’s front page. i check it out since i find the cover interesting. come to the conclusion that it’s quite decent… and interesting.
mid to late December 2023: i enjoy coming back to the track ‘Everybody, Marvel’ off that album while working on my list of the best songs of 2023 and rank it at #19 of that list.
January to early February 2024: i find myself coming back ... read more

why waste your time listening to a once good, now washed antisemitic artist only making himself more insufferable with his new album when you could be listening to softscars by yeule instead

What’s up, Salteh? 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! ✌️
