I'm sure you are dying to know, so here's my favorite new releases of the year that had a physical release (I had to cheat with one as it is seriously incredible but only available digitally; lest you are concerned, I paid for the digital version).
Musically, it was a good year; otherwise though….

Just sorting movies, why do you ask?

Snap poll -- what should I listen to next from this stack of recent (mostly used) acquisitions?

Can't really recall the last time I liked an artist's stuff so much that I bought everything I could find legitimately (it's all digital only at the moment) before then moving on to actual bootleg cds, but here we are....(and yes, I'll buy 'real' cds if they become available)

My favorite new releases of 2024

One of the last couple of #straitjacketfits releases I didn't previously have. It isn't super rare, but it does have, I think, the only cd version of the 'Missing Presumed Drowned' remix from the double 7" (along with a PAL VHS!).

Straitjacket Fits - 'Down in Splendour' (Flying Nun, 1991)
