Dave Matthews Band “Where Are You Going” singles collection.
DMB is definitely a greatest hits band for me and this scratches the itch, though I still want the DM/Tim Reynolds acoustic live album.
I need more chill acoustic stuff is what I’m trying to say.

Green Day
Live at the Electric Factory
I saw Green Day in this era. That’s mostly what made me buy the Nimrod anniversary box. It was a life-changing show and I’ll treasure those memories forever.

The album I listened to most* from this year is almost certainly Hellbilly Deluxe, but it’s been a great year of finding new (to me) bands like Raging Nathans, The Slow Death, Houseghost, and The Kilograms (RIP).
4/5 of those are Rad Girlfriend bands, too! It’s a label you should pay attention to!

Kris has always been best behind an acoustic and this album’s good, but the older I get, the more this “nice guy” punk makes me cringe a little.

Andrew WK reins supreme, but Houseghost claims the #2 spot! That’s a great pairing.
Honestly, most of the list was Rad Girlfriend artists in case anyone was wondering about the quality of their roster…
If you haven’t checked out Houseghost, do yourself a favor and do so.

TLE is a foundational band for me and I really wish they hadn’t built me up by saying this was the older brother of their debut. I might grow to like it, but it’s a LOT more mellow than their S/T.

And the drums/guitars are great.

Any recommendations for acoustic guitar singer/songwriter stuff that’s recorded well? Jack Johnson has great production value but not great songs. At least not on the albums I’ve listened to.
