Figured I'd post the songs I bumped the most this year and since I created this blog in December, lists feel like a necessary obligation. Also, it's a therapeutic way to rid 2021, before I start stretching my feet and getting my groove on with the type of content I want to focus on in the new year.

Night Owl went from my least liked track off Temple Serpent to my fave over the span of the year. It's easily my go-to running in the park like an absolute nutter choon this year.
Bangers for sure, but both the LukHash and Ka joints were the only real strong cuts off their respective albums to me. At this point, the former is a one hit one wonder, while I expected so much more from Ka, to be honest.
Was completely taken by surprise by just how much I love that new version of Hellraiser; the video is a real eyesore compared to the classic Lemmy and the lads playing poker with Pinhead video, though.
I feel like Iron Maiden's The Time Machine deserves an honourable mention since I'm typing away; it's the only song I begrudgingly like off Senjutsu. That's largely attributed to three minutes of Bruce Bruce's warbling and melancholic filler before it truly gets going with the vintage Maiden sound. Just like Quentin Tarantino, the boys badly need an editor not afraid to give them the snip.
This is the only other year end list I've read which includes Beabaadoobee AND Homeboy Sandman, so it gets my seal of approval.
ReplyDeleteThat means a lot, blud. Think I learnt about both those songs from you. Appreciate the schoolin'.
ReplyDeleteBeen meaning to check out that pinkpatheress mixtape/album joint,too.
This PinkPantheress songs pushes my same buttons as Break It Off.
ReplyDeleteThe other single from Beabaadoobee's EP is harder than most òf the stuff they play on KerrangTV.
Also, that Dying Breath song is a jam 4 real.
ReplyDeleteThat pinkpantheress song is seriously great. I just wish her songs were longer. Both her and beabadoobee make me have faith for Gen Z.
ReplyDeleteBought We Are Stardust for Dying Breath alone. Was the only track I enjoyed off that album. To add insult to injury, like a right div, I mistakenly purchased the MiniDisc instead of the CD. Hardly anyone even had a MD player back in the day, let alone now.
