Notes
Of course I am always looking for more music and there is a lot of stuff from this year I haven’t heard yet, so suggestions are welcome. Right now I’m checking out a lot of left-field electronic/hip-hop instrumental stuff like Flying Lotus, Baths, Forest Swords, etc. Check back in a couple of days and I may be on to mainstream country again. You just never know. As you can see from above, though, indie rock still seems to be my home.
