I'm probabaly missing people still, feel free to hit them with the @. I went through the past couple year end drafts and the 2022 thread, I know there are some draft regulars I haven't shouted out yet but I don't think they usually do the year end/new music ones.

Also, while you're here:

2022 Year End Poll

2023 New Music Thread

 

[Ilov80s]

I would be in, thanks for the invite

 

[Bogart]

@Bogart

I set a personal record this year for listening to the least amount of new music ever. But appreciate the invite. Goal already is a more active listening 2023.

And as always, got my ready for this thread.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

sure, if it happens. My list is a little shorter this year than the last few but I can cobble something together.

 

[Juxtatarot]

In. Would this be for the whole year or only the second half?

 

[Eephus]

In.

Tied with the mid-term for best music draft of the year.

 

[Northern Voice]

In. Would this be for the whole year or only the second half?

Full year, a lot of people try not to repeat picks from the first draft but anything released this year is fair game.

I know I sometimes find songs from other year end lists that I missed from early in the year.

 

[Yo Mama]

@Yo Mama @Dr. Octopus @Ilov80s

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll probably have to sit this one out, but will follow along to catch up on everything I missed in music the second half of the year (haven’t been listening to too much new stuff lately).

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

In. Had a slow start to the year so I skipped the mid-year but now I think I should be able to contribute at least a dozen songs that I really enjoyed from 2022.

Just skimmed through that and was reminded I picked Hotel Lobby. RIP Takeoff. Can't believe he was killed.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Appreciate the invite, but I didn’t listen to a ton of new music in 2022, so not sure I’d be a good participant here, unless you wanna a lotta Porcupine Tree, Death Cab, Arcade Fire, The Smile and Taylor Swift.

Check out the draft Eephus posted just above. People picked some awesome music.

Well damn. Maybe I don't have as many songs as I thought. That playlist already includes 90% of the songs I'd select.
J

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I would do it

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I'll give it a go.

I didn't listen to nearly as much new music in the 2nd half of the year so I doubt I can get to 20 songs but should be able scrape together at least 10.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

@Nigel Tufnel @ericttspikes @wazoo11 @Ghost Rider @Bogart @skol asylum @Brony @Nick Vermeil @Ghost Rider

Appreciate you keeping me in the loop. Maybe one of these days I’ll have time to throw down again.

 

[El Floppo]

Hey guys... I've been pretty busy. would love to throw my hat in... but will have to be in a catch-up mode- don't rely on me for timely picks.

funny too- I was just listening to my 2022 playlist... really small. more a factor of not having the time to really dive into things on my end. but there have been some great tunes- so hoping to throw them up there (if I didn't already do it in a mid-year version of this... and I'm guessing I may have)

 

[El Floppo]

could somebody post the mid-year draft if there was one... genuinely interested to see if and what I posted in it.

Locked & loaded

 

[Northern Voice]

Let's start this with one untimed pick Monday to get everyone here and allow for last minute sign ups.

Then we'll move on to traditional AM and PM picks.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Round 1 Black Midi -- Dangerous Liaisons

Black Midi’s Hellfire is my album of the year. Time will tell but I suspect it will remain on the short list of my all-time greats. Fitting the album title, there are themes of evil and death and stuff but they do it in such a fun way. It’s not meant to be taken totally seriously.

The song I’ll pick for you is Dangerous Liaisons. It’s not my favorite on the album (although still excellent) but I think it’s a good introduction to the album for those who are unfamiliar. It’s about a man who is tricked into killing another man. I highly encourage you to follow along with the lyrics. Doing so will help you understand why they are playing their instruments the way they are.

SCS Rd 1: Mondo Cozmo - Electrify My Love

It's rare that I fall in love with a song upon it's first listen, but that's the case with this one. First listen to the first song off their latest album and I was hooked. My music service indicates this was my most played song from 2022 so it's gotta be my first pick.

"Good evening everyone, I hope this finds you well..."

[kupcho1]

1. Todd Rundgren, Rivers Cuomo - Down with the Ship

Out on the Indian Ocean with a pirate crew
We be 27 days out of Mogadishu
Now there something gone wrong, we got red skies at dawn
Can't find the Captain and the lifeboat's gone

Country song of the year by a mile IMO, this whole album is so good. RIYL Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, etc...

I favored "Good Morning America" but the whole collection of mp3s is pretty damn good.

This is from an AOTY candidate for me.

Round 2 tomorrow AM, Round 3 PM

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Round 1

The Smoke - The Smile

A few tracks from these folks in the mid term draft but not this one, which is a great jam.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

whoa, never seen this add to playlist right within the playlist feature before. Pretty sweet.

 

[rockaction]

The first track "Down with the Ship" has me in a listening mood. Pure ska influence. Like eighties two-tone with Rivers at the helm.

 

[plinko]

I have a source and I'm wedging myself in

1.1.1 Oog Bogo - Plastic

I'm going to have nightmares about a big headed guy with a sparkly face and blue hoodie.

Round 2: The Lounge Society — No Driver

(Spotify Youtube)

My favorite post punk (broadly classified) builder of the year.

 

[kupcho1]

2. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Hate Dancin'

Slow-mo at the disco

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

SCS Rd 2: Maggie Rogers - That's Where I Am

I'd categorize this song as my #1 ear worm of the year. Don't know what it is about it, but for months now I often find myself humming/singing this song in my head when there's nothing else playing. It seems perpetually stuck in my head and I'm ok with that. I don't envision ever growing tired of this song. Another that will always remind me of 2022.

SCS Rd 1: Mondo Cozmo - Electrify My Love

 

[plinko]

2.2.2 Holy Wave - Chaparral

 

[Long Ball Larry]

2. So Typically Now - U.S. Girls

Full album is coming out this week I think. I am continually stumbling upon funky stuff I like from Toronto-bases artists.
