Round 14 - The Suffers - I Think I Love You

 

[mphtrilogy]

AM Pick

Liked this Dawes record (Passwords) better than the last but not as good as Stories Never End..

But still a good listen...

Dawes - Feed the Fire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFmiLP0P80w

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

A late 2017 release.  Only reason I even know about her is she opened for J Roddy Walston & The Business when I went to see them at The Metro in Chicago.  This song caught my ear and has gotten a lot of play since.

[Jaysus]

Round 17 - The Menzingers - Toy Soldiers

#FanBoyAlert (this is a single) 

 

[Northern Voice]

With 4 rounds left, I'm going to let myself pick a couple from artists who have already been taken because these songs belong on the mix. With that in mind,

[mphtrilogy]

Not sure if this one was posted, but I like this track from Maggie Rogers a lot - Light On

oh man, I was going to go for a different Onyx track.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I will go with this instead.

Round 17 - Cypress Hill - Locos

this track is a straight banger.

 

[El Floppo]

since we're having a collective #metoo day, I'll throw some more aussie out there. I like that there seems to be a metal/post-punk hybrid starting to happen in different places. 

16- tell them where to go- cable ties

too much aussie sometimes, so I'll go haka kiwi.

17- stay disappointed- wax chattels.

 

[D_House]

Round 5:  Hatchie - Try

draft regulars know I get off on song construction.  The song sounds so simple and gorgeous but she throws in a lovely pre-chorus after the second verse to raise the tension and a bridge to die for.

Perfect description. Can’t get this one out of my head, great pick!

 

[Long Ball Larry]

this is a pretty good song.  i don't think i realized that it was released this year.

Round 18 - Joywave - Compromise

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm going full for my last two picks tomorrow.  You're welcome/sorry in advance.

 

[Ilov80s]

@rockaction you checked out Makaya McCraven? He gets some Dilla comparisons. 

Black Lion

Butterss’s

His music would make incredible rap beats 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Two bands that have produced 35+ albums between them released two excellent albums this year:

R17 Cowboy Junkies - The Things We Do To Each Other

R18 Low - Always Trying To Work It Out

 

[Northern Voice]

R18 Low - Always Trying To Work It Out

I've been late to this album, but it's really good.

 

[JZilla]

17.x  Lawrence Arabia - Everybody Wants Something

not sure who this is, think I heard him on Q magazine playlist

18.x Emma Ruth Rundle - Darkhorse

(there's an edit that's two minutes shorter)

 

[JZilla]

Quite a record overall, heavy handed political piece is a lot to swallow but I'd hate to leave them out.  

19.x Cursive - Under the Rainbow

 

[Ilov80s]

Been a great draft, I look forward to listening to the playlist on the beach in Cancun this New Years

Rd 19: Tappin the Land Turtle by Camilla George

Rd 20: Lebroda by Andrew Cyrille

 

[Northern Voice]

Jaysus takes:

Round 19 - Mounties - Canoe Song

Round 20 - Saintseneca - Ladder to the Sun

 

[Northern Voice]

2018 playlists all have to have a healthy dose of Scott Hutchison in them IMO. The video for Old Team is all footage from Mastersystem's only tour, worth a watch for sure. 

Round 19 - Mastersystem - Old Team 

Round 20 - Death Cab for Cutie - My Backwards Walk

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

Rd Nineteen - Alexina - Silent Killer (Terminal 2018)

Rd Twenty - The Blackwater Fever - How Far Would You Go?

[JZilla]

Last one

20.x Plague Vendor - I Only Speak In Friction

 

[JZilla]

It was tempting to take the new Sorry single (excellent) and also the newish Iceage single.. Plague Vendor was another I felt like needs to get in there

 

[Eephus]

Round 17 - Flasher - Pressure

 

[Eephus]

Round 18 - Beak> - Brean Down

 

[Eephus]

Round 19 - Christine and the Queens - Comme Si

 

[Eephus]

Round 20 - Young Gun Silver Fox - You Can Feel It

pitch perfect mid-70s throwback delivered with a high level of pop craftsmanship and a low level of hipster irony

 

[mphtrilogy]

Final Two Picks:

Nice throwback album from The Jayhawks, I've enjoyed this track Everybody Knows

https://youtu.be/UfNcoVu2wH4

Leon Bridges 2nd album was rock solid, I've liked this song, If it Feels Good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY6tIQOQcY0

Thanks to @Northern Voice for this fun thread, it's been a blast and I've enjoyed streaming these tunes.. lot of new finds for me.

 

[Ilov80s]

I didn't really find any good new world music this year, I might have to find something for the best album thread. 

 

[Eephus]

I didn't really find any good new world music this year, I might have to find something for the best album thread. 

The Angelique Kidjo Talking Heads cover album was a brilliant concept that was executed nearly as well. 

The record by Congolese musicians Jupiter and Okwess grooves like a MF.

On this side of the ocean, the record from Cuban big band Orquestra Akokan is worth a spin.

You the man 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R19  Jeff Tweedy - Having Been Is No Way To Be

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R20  Mount Eerie - Now Only

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Round 2 - Jeff Rosenstock - 9/10

 Nine times out of ten I’ll be stoned on the subway
Reading backlit directives of what I should do
Dodging eye contact with anyone who looks my way
Nine times out of ten I’ll be thinking of you 

this should be the theme song for a reboot of an of 80s sitcom with a mismatched couple. (Someone fill in that blank.  I want to say moonlighting, but i don't think that works)

Maybe a Sam and Diane spin-off.

 

[dal_boys_phan]

Posting some makeup picks

Round 15 - Jason Aldean - Drowns The Whiskey (feat. Miranda Lambert)

Took a different song of the same album at mid-year, but this one is pretty decent as well.

Round 16 - Mercy Union - Young Dionysians

Featuring members of NJ's The Gaslight Anthem and The Scandals, some straight up Jersey rock.  Great opening song from their debut album.

Round 17 - Zedd - The Middle (feat. Maren Morris)

A repeat from my mid-year selections, still a great pop-hook on this one

Round 18 - Chris Stapleton - Millonaire

From his late 2017 release, this was the 2018 single - not his best, but still better than most of what is out there from the country and western folk

Round 19 - Greta Van Fleet - Safari Song

Another repeat from my mid-year selections

Round 20 - Muse - Pressure

Not the best song they have ever put out, but one that has grown on me and one that is unmistakably Muse from the first lick 

Bonus Muse track - their cover of Hungry Like The Wolf - not sure this one needed to redone, but assume this will slide into the live sets in 2019

 

[D_House]

Rd Two - The Beths - Not Running

I  this entire album, but if I had to pick one song from it to listen to over and over again it would be this one.

J

2- boys in the better land- FONTAINES D.C.

it's all about ALL CAPS! and ireland!

Round 2 - Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats - You Worry Me

Round 5:  Hatchie - Try

draft regulars know I get off on song construction.  The song sounds so simple and gorgeous but she throws in a lovely pre-chorus after the second verse to raise the tension and a bridge to die for.

Round 6:  Sports Team - Camel Crew

Getting caught up now. GB @Steve Tasker texted me about this band this afternoon and they also announced a show in my little 70,000 population town... its a sign (also I draft them every time).

Round 7 - Tokyo Police Club - Simple Dude

Very nice Strokes-y jam.

Round 9 - James Bay - Pink Lemonade

Think I'm behind three.. busy Tuesday

13.x Mondo Cozmo - Tonight Tonight

Round 15 - Amigo the Devil - If I'm Crazy

Not sure if this one was posted, but I like this track from Maggie Rogers a lot - Light On

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSFjYe54uv4

So I’ve now listened to everything drafted! Above are my top 10 new-to-me finds. Sweet picks all and thanks. With kids and work I just can’t keep up with music like I used to and this is a great way to get exposed to music as albums just take too much time.

Do you use Spotify? Or have time to listen at work or commuting? It will let you get back in the game...promise!

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Round 19 - Jim James - Over and Over (Acoustic)

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Round 20 - Black Thought - 9th vs. Thought

Spotify is what did the trick for me.

I have an Apple music subscription  (my wife got it first and I added on) which is helpful esp with their updated genre-based playlists. But I don’t have much time to listen outside of my irregular workouts. Can’t at work and my commute is (thankfully) short during which I listen to radio. 

The FBG music nerd collective just finds great stuff that I don’t hear elsewhere.
