This is prob all I got for january. But I listened to it all in like one day so I still feel super productive cause I usually dont.
Keeping up with this thread gave me the idea to start a conversation thread to talk about albums on a monthly basis, if anyone misses something, etc. Could work out? Let's see.... Monthy Music Catchup

Decided I'm going to do a mini writeup at the end of each month. January! What a great start to the year. I went back and looked at some stuff that I'd missed in 2016. Lori McKenna and Glass Animals were two albums that could've broken into my top 15 for sure if I'd given them a chance. Also spent some time digging into Billy Joel and John Prine since I'd never really explored their catalogs. I was disappointed by Sampha but holy cow is "(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano” a song. Prob my favorite song of the year so far. Top 2017 albums of the month: Julie Byrne, The Menzingers, Japandroids Recommended Songs I discovered this month: Sampha - "(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano” Lori McKenna - "Wreck You" DMA's - "Believe (Cher Cover)" Julie Byrne - "Natural Blue" John Mayer - "Moving On And Getting Over"
44. Classixx - Faraway Reach (2016) 45. Jack Garratt - Phase (2016) 46. Trouble Over Tokyo - The Hurricane (2010) 47. 1983 - Nowhere Land (2016) 48. Dave Hause - Bury Me In Philly (2017)
Not that it matters, but I noticed you forgot Japandroids. Thought I'd tell you since you keep track of a lot of music
7. The xx - I See You * 8. Oso Oso - The Yunahon Mixtape * 9. Japandroids - Near to the Wild Heart of Life + 10. P.O.S - Chill, dummy ++ 11. Charlie Worsham - The Beginning of Things + 12. The Menzingers - After The Party ++
