Cool shit! Also a few weeks i went to the Brockhampton concert, which was in a former masinoc temple. Pretty surreal. You should check out thier albums tho if you like rap hahaha. Also, this is my all time favorite band, and this seems like it's shaping up to be my favorite album this year already ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkweStbjjSE
ReplyDeleteThanks! I keep hearing about Brockhampton, but I've never listened to them.
DeleteReally cool if you ask me ;)
DeleteNice to see love for War on Drugs, my #1 album of 2017. I liked that Alvvays LP too which is top 25 for me.
ReplyDeleteBurn Your Life Down cover you shared I find quite moving. Con X : Covers is new to me, and will look into!
Know you are a fan of pop. Forced Witness by Alex Cameron is a great pop release. Right now, it's my #2 album of 2017. Can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYzxVMvOIJw
If you have time to check my blog, I'm gradually sharing my top 50 songs of 2017. Hope to see you there :)
Love the War on Drugs album, and I'm so glad you like the Alvvays one as well.
DeleteThe Burn Your Life Down cover ruined me. I love the original, but it made me appreciate Sara's lyrics even more. Hope you like The Con X: Covers. Several great covers on there. I was just happy T&S finally released Miami Still with it. ;)
Thanks for the link. I need to check it out, as well as your top 50 songs!
Great picks. american dream is a lot of fun, and DAMN is pretty much perfect. Really enjoyed both of those albums.
ReplyDeleteThanks man. Love those albums. Listened to them a lot. Did you listen to both versions of DAMN.? Like I mentioned above, I prefer the collectors edition, or DAMN. in reverse.
DeleteWhat an awesome lineup! Love the Jesse Ware love. She's a true gem of an artist. 2017 was a killer year for music. Kacy Hill, Susanne Sundfor, Bleachers...just incredible!
