New Order - "Substance" (1987). The greatest singles compilation ever made. "Temptation" may be the best song of the 1980s. A joy to behold every time I hear it.

Hot Water Music - "Fuel For The Hate Game" (1997). One of the most instantly recognizable bands of the late 90s and early 00s scene shouts and occasionally sings their way through an album full of post-hardcore/emo/punk anthems. A real gem.

The Kinks - "Something Else By The Kinks" (1967). The second in a long series of perfect albums by my favorite band of the 60s. "Waterloo Sunset" is here. So are many, many other immaculately crafted pop gems. Glorious.

Jason Isbell - "Something More Than Free" (2015). A worthy follow-up to one of the best albums of the century so far. While it doesn't quite reach the same heights as "Southeastern," it still showcases some of his very best work.

The War On Drugs - "Lost In The Dream" (2014). "Dad rock?" I get that description. "Heartland rock?" Not so much. This is just a really good mid-2010s indie rock album that's equally influenced by dream pop and Springsteen. Big fan.

Ghostface Killah - "Ironman" (1996). An early entry in the Wu-Tang solo discography. My third favorite Ghost album, but that's not to diminish this record. He's had the strongest overall output of any Wu member.

The Avalanches - "Since I Left You" (2000). There are maybe five albums on which artists have weaved together this many eclectic samples to create fully fleshed out, great songs. This one is the most fun. Still such a treat to listen to.

Throwback to this Sunday morning in September, when I got to see The Dismemberment Plan play an invite only show with ~40 other people at my friend's DIY basement venue. Without question, my coolest and most surreal live music experience.
