My all-time favorite albums as of 2024. I update it more or less annually, since some albums rise into or fall out of favor.
Really enjoyed Flummox's Southern Progress. Cheesy, quirky, high energy progressive metal. Throwback-y to the golden age of alt metal without feeling dated. Eclectic, sometimes surprisingly affecting, always very queer.

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai, the greatest Japanese actor of all time. I always get excited when I see his name in opening credits. He was incredible in Harakiri and The Human Condition trilogy, but my favorite performance of his still has to be The Beast Shall Die (1959). Wild eyes.

Also vibin today with Boris’ Dronevil. Glad this finally got a normal vinyl version, it’s often overlooked in favor of Flood and Feedbacker, but deserves to stand right up there with the best. Monolithic, melancholic, atmospheric slow burn post-rock with devastating power.

Celebrating the good Death Grips news with one of the best mixtapes of all time, Exmilitary.
It took me until 2013 before I hopped on board through Takyon, but I remember seeing the cover everywhere when it first dropped. Those initial 7 years were an absolutely wild Ride.

Looks like Death Grips are finally working on new material! Thought it'd never happen at this point.
For reference, it has been 2693 days since their last album, and the entire span of their original run (first EP to last album) was 2663 days.

One of my favorite things about black metal is that when the song's about to kick in, you never know if you're gonna get hit with hyperspeed blastbeats that sound like they were recorded in or with a tin can, or the most beautiful lament you've ever heard in your life.

I'm really, really happy to see how Chat Pile have been evolving. Their extremely unexpected collaboration with Hayden Pedigo of all people is the best record I've heard from either artist, and the (+-) experiments were really fresh as well.

RIP to a king. It says a lot that Ninja Gaiden 2004 and its sequel were two of the few games that actually rivaled DMC. They're very uneven games (and Itagaki had very uneven output) but the soul they had burned bright, and continues to do so even after his has left us.

One thing I've noticed is that it seems like the best visual designers around seem to work specifically on band tour/concert posters. I wonder if it's a case of something like there being less oversight and more artistic freedom? Or just a matter of art quantity?

Happy 25th anniversary to Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! One of the trailblazers of modern post-rock and one that very few have ever outdone.

Managed to find enough time between everything to make another 10 Piranesi. pieces. This batch is quite an extreme one, featuring the darkest, silliest, most intense and even sentimental pieces in the entire catalogue so far.

Preorders for ”Tennis, Everyone?” vinyl and cassette are now up. As always, both are fairly small batches, so if you want one, you should grab one sooner than later!

Really enjoyed Caput Mortum. Short, punchy Amnesia/Penumbra style horror puzzler. Neat alchemy-based plot and novel mechanics that don't overstay their welcome. The "pre-standardization" style control scheme took a bit of getting used to, meaning it works as intended.

I haven't yet listened to Geese, but considering they just dropped one of the greatest album covers of all time, I feel I ought to.

Had a lot of fun with Ramon & Jessica's Roses Are Blue. Group a capella in the style of minimalist classical but with such a saccharine sense of childlike glee that it's hard to not get swept up in it (if you don't find it really annoying).

Absolutely buckwild that the Coen brothers just Had It from the start. While watching their debut, Blood Simple, I was kept on the edge of my seat thinking ”damn, they picked an amazing screenplay” only to get to credits and find out they also wrote it. Incredible thriller!
