Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam

 

This discussion is reminding me how little I actually listen to new music, lol. I don't think I can even really make a decent top 10 albums of 2016 I've spent any significant time listening to.

Guess I should get on listening to the new Bon Iver. From what I've heard, I think I'll really like it... which will be a nice change after BI,BI, which I still don't like and still see regular adoration for. Oh well.

 

Haha my 2016 playlist just went over 900 songs. And that's just shit I really like from this year.

 

I've listened to 151 new albums so far in 2016. What a great year it's been.

 

I've been bad but there's been a lot lately, also Spotify makes it so much easier for me

 

Wow @Nick, that really impressive.

 

I need to listen to the new MIA and Regina Spektor albums

 

MY WORK IS PLAYING MUSIC FROM THE ACTUAL 2000s ITS LIT

This is the song currently playing:

 

@CobraKidJon thank you so much for this hahah. My first show EVER was Savage Garden.

 

Uh. I think the only new albums I've listened to this year were Anchor & Braille, Relient K, Watsky, and Brandon Flowers. I could be wrong, but that's all I'm remembering.

I'm bad at this.

 

that was 1997 mofo

 

Flowers was 2015.

 

Well fuck.

See? I'm bad at this.

 

It's just really hard to get excited about new music when I'm also reading comics more often (which I don't typically do with music) and started listening to podcasts in the car.

Plus, it's hard when about 50% of all music listening I do is Carly Rae Jepsen.

 

But I don't think I've ever listened to Thrice...

I probably should, though.

My problem is that I really don't like screaming and every time I tried venturing out to other pop/punk bands in the past, I always came across a bunch of songs with screaming and was totally turned off. :/

 

Yeah it's hard to have time for music when the only time I have to listen is in the car, and then I usually listen to podcasts anyway.

I usually can't listen to music while doing anything else (reading, cleaning, etc)

 

heh it's just been a ridiculously good year for music.

 

Thrice doesn't have too much screaming anymore...it's been quite some time since they have, and when they did, it was always tasteful...if that makes sense. I'll post something for you that's very light. No prob if you hate it haha.

 

the new thrice album only has screaming in maybe a couple songs. check it out, one of the year's best!

 

Tbh that's why I don't listen to Emery. Matt and Toby? Sure. I might have to go through and try finding stuff that doesn't have the screaming in it.

I'll check it out after I clock out!

 

i don't listen to podcasts. I generally get one album in on my commute in the morning, another on the way home and listen to music non stop at home. then in work i very often listen to a lot of music cause i'm just sitting at a desk.

 

i've watched two movies in the last few weeks that either take place in ireland (sing street) or have scenes in ireland (brooklyn). i really need to go visit @Nick one of these days.

 

sing street is dope

 

soooo good i need to own it
