A rough count of #BandcampFindOfTheDay showed I listened to at least 150 new albums this year. Not bad. Here are my top 20 of 2024 in order of release date. Each pick will have a song recommendation as well. Hope you enjoy the music.

Kind of interesting that TS is the first person to ever release an album in order to try and make some money off of it. No one's ever done that before.

Any human that worked as well as AI does would be fired on the spot, but when a computer fails consistently and spectacularly, the failure factories that pump them out are rewarded with 100s of billions of dollars.

Taking AI use training at work and every segment is basically "AI tools are great and totally work but also please don't ever use AI because you can't trust it with any information you give it." Ok great.

The new Tortoise songs sound like they were made for some bizarre industrial JRPG video game, complimentary.

Oh yeah, the Vikings are already playing. Time to watch Carson Wentz do Carson Wentz things (complimentary?) for a minute.

The final track on this might be my favorite song of 2025. The way it morphs from a top tier shoegaze track into a heavy psych freakout over the course of 13 minutes is absolutely stunning.

Got at least a dozen coconut porter pints left in a keg to load up and still got my peach cream ale and solera barrel sour rolling.

Always sad when a keg blows at home. But more beer is fermenting away and other kegs are already waiting in the wings.

Your 4 year old is cooler than you are. You need to hear the Sueno Purpura album. It's so good.

I think their last album (might be my most listened to thing in the last two years) and their new album are absolutely fantastic, and even I'm confused by their sudden "it" band status.

anothernight blends the ambient/experimental folk stylings of Bill Callahan and Will Oldham into a dense package of haunting vocals and propulsive folk tinged walls of sound. #BandcampFindOfTheDay anothernight.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-n...

Nothing more liberal coded than wanting to punish people for being lied to by Republicans. "Let's hurt 100% of the people in counties where just over half the people voted against their self interest because the liberal message sucks so bad."

Michael McDonald @electproject.bsky.social · 6d

These states could pass laws that offset Trump cuts with state cuts to counties that voted for Trump to pass the pain directly on to his voters

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 7d

Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from.

Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.
