Yet another archival post. I love pouring over ‘Best Of’ lists every December. Why? Because there’s so much great music that’s released every year that I’m bound to miss tons of it no matter how hard I try to keep up on the new release schedules every week. So much creativity, so little time.
I’ll keep this post updated as I come across new lists.
