Damn the new Dua track is a banger. The production, especially the bassline, is stellar.

I concur.  Proper toe-tapper that.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Dua has deployed an insta-banger.

I'd also recommend clothing that allows for movement. Sitting still is not an option

New Krept and Konan album is great. 

[Matt42]

Very much a radio banger

[Amy Lawn]

Yeah that Dua Lipa song snatched my wig and cured my depression and acne and all that shit. What a jam.

Thinkin about AotY at the minute and the field is so packed. Consider, if you will, a six sided dice. Charli, Taylor, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kim Petras, Self Esteem and Julia Jacklin each have a side. I'm just rolling it over and over and getting a different AotY each time. Then Caroline Polachek comes along and now the dice is seven sided. FKA Twigs will probably add an eighth side next week and honestly I'm no good at D&D, the decision making it too much.

New Half Moon Run album out today. Reckon they are certain to be on the farm.

The Guardian calling Michael Kiwanuka's new album 'one of the greatest albums of the decade'

Cant wait to get on this. 

Any chance he is at Glastonbury again next year? I wasnt there this year.

If the album goes down well I reckon he could sub WH or 3/4 on Other

It's definitely getting close to that time of the year. It's been a weird one, not many that absolutely stand out for me like I had with a few last year, but definitely some good ones in there. Quite surprised there's no Sigrid or Shura in your list tbh

Do I smell an AOTY thread coming Quark?

Not yet.  I got bawled out by (I think) Calgon for starting it too early last year. I'm keeping my powder dry

Plus I don't have enough of a strong opinion on any this year to start a campaign.

[Badlands]

It's rare that I'm outspoken on here but Self Esteem is album of the year and every other opinion is awfully, terribly wrong.

New Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra album out today. Moshing.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Listening to Michael Kiwanuka right now, liking what I'm hearing. Rolling is a certified banger

5 stars in Q as well. My listening for this afternoon so long as no-one puts a late meeting in to fuck with my vibe

Lists are gonna be tough to rank this year. Been a lot of great records this year without there being a clear, runaway winner for me.
