Happy 240th birthday, United States!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ah, the annual halfway through the year music recap where I never post an end of year recap. *eyeroll* Eh… I don’t blog much anymore… regardless, here goes for my Top 10 of 2016 so far…

Artist – Album (style)

1. Sia – This Is Acting (pop)
2. Radiohead – A Moon Shaped Pool (rock)
3. Wussy – Forever Sounds (indie rock)
4. Holy Fuck – CONGRATS (live electronic)
5. Elliott Smith – Heaven Adores You (soundtrack) (indie rock)
6. Steve Taylor & the Danielson Foil – WOW to the Deadness -EP- (indie rock)
7. David Bazan – Blanco (indie rock)
8. Allison Miller’s Boom Tic Boom – Otis Was a Polar Bear (jazz)
9. The Claypool-Lennon Delirium – Monolith of Phobos (rock)
10. Damien Jurado – Visions of Us on the Land (indie rock)

What’s still to come in 2016…

Chevelle, Peter Mulvey (it’s in the can), Alex Somers’ score for Captain Fantastic, John Zorn (about every month), TOOL (music done, lyrics nearing completion?), Sigur Rós (maybe 2017), Charlie Hunter, and based on kickstarters/pledgemusic that I’ve supported: Jeremy Enigk of Sunny Day Real Estate, Derek Webb‘s Mockingbird Remixed and Fleming & John, plus much more, I’m sure.

Will I continue with blogs in the future? I don’t know. :P

Dan – np: Auragami – Formation (single)
