Pretty sure they invented a new genre... Couch surf rock. From one of my favorite albums this year... Including, I guess, the counter point to this song.

NV will return March 1 I've heard.Sad to hear about that permaban. Hope an alias is around to participate—-I thought he had one at some point.Do we ever do year end album drafts or rankings?
NV used to tabulate this before that account was permabanned. I think it had reached the point of diminishing returns because of small sample sizes there were so few participants in the end.
As we enter the 25th year of the century, this seems like a good year for a 21st century album draft (sung like 21st century schizoid man).
And I’m all in for a 21st century album draft.
And for this ‘24 song draft—likely not for 20 rounds though.
Sniped. Good pick.3.JHWAC - Mind's a Lie - High Vis
Angry shouting over a dancey trip-hop bassline.
In if we do it.Re: the year end album polls, the last couple years we tried, there were only 14/15 lists submitted, if someone gave an album 30 points, it was making the top 20 and there was no real consensus.
If we could get 20+ people to commit to sending in lists, I would do it again but it takes a lot of time to do it well and I'd want to have that level of participation to make it worthwhile.

I am an album guy, and this has been a tough year for me as I feel it was the year of the single. I have 31 albums on my AotY list, and for the 1st time in years none of them really jumped out and grabbed me. Albums 2 though, like, 20 on my list are all pretty much on the same level.My absolute favourites of the year have mostly been represented in the mid-year or early here but I think this is one of the best music years in years, I think I can go pretty deep with "new to most" stuff this year, particularly since I've barely participated in the forums recently.

I think somebody took this is in the midyear draft.. counterpoint to mine.
Thanks so much for adding this. Not for this song (although it's good), but more as a prompt for me to do a little digging on Peter Perrett (side note: I hope that his last name is pronounced parrot).1.am Peter Perrett - Disinfectant
All these years and I never knew that "Another Girl, Another Planet" by the Mighty Lemon Drops on Vol. V of the Just Say Yes series (Sire records) was a cover!
It's actually from Peter Perrett's band The Only Ones (1978). Here's the original.

I liked them better when they were drunks.Another one Spotify chose to hide from me in place of remixes, GBV and GRMLN.
