"Protect Ya Neck" and "Royals" should be in the top five imo. Both singles completely changed popular music honestly.

Cold Butterfly

The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is definitely an album that will be in my top fifteen or so. While I always loved it, it’s grown more on me over the last ten months that I now consider it to be my favorite jazz album. The freakout/third stream fusion also makes for some pretty powerful music, wh...

Enjoyed the new Bad Bunny as expected. I'm also really loving the new Charli XCX album, which continues her blend of catchy exuberance with the avant-pop of artists like SOPHIE and 100 gecs. The at-home feel of the album is also a high point.

Bad Bunny, who’s YHLQMDLG is one of my favorite albums of the year so far, dropped another album yesterday. I’m definitely gonna have to check that out.

I don’t like the idea of not allowing poetry collections either, especially considering that I planned to put Howl and Other Poems in my top five. But it’s your poll and I totally understand that.

Cold Butterfly

I think nonfiction books should be eligible for this poll.

Three books from the 2010s I’d like to recommend - The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys, both by Colson Whitehead and Red Clocks by Leni Zumas. All three will be appearing high up on my list.

I would definitely participate in an all-time books poll

I just checked out this list today and I love it. Great job with this aggregate man. The top three are all excellent shows too imo.

For example, a universal basic income, to me, sounds like a very good idea.

To explain the positive effects of capitalism I'd have to go back to economics 101 and drawing demand curves. To show that, if there are no constrains on competition or purchasing behavior, the sum effect of everybody doing what's in their best interest results in the most benefit for the most peop...

I think it might be time to start updating and recompiling our best album lists. It is not clear to me yet what the expected deadline is for this effort.

That's only a sign of failure of proper regulation of capitalism and proper social safety net. You think when we get a good Covid antiviral or vaccine, it'll be because the government funded a researcher, or because some greedy capitalist thought it'd make him or her money? Just go to your local ma...

I decided to ask my employer to stop scheduling me due to COVID.

I’ve been re-listening to Apple’s entire discography since FTBC came out, and man I underrated her other work so much. I don’t think she has a single bad album in her discography now, and she’s become one of my overall favorite artists of all-time.

I just attended another 100 Gecs headlined virtual festival last night. While the Minecraft festival was basically dystopia’s version of Lollapalooza, this concert presented more of the Internet-age surrealism that defines the group and many of the musicians along them. Two other highlights of the f...

Fiona Apple is one of those artists where her AM scores (pre-FTBC) don't seem to accurately reflect how popular she is among contemporary critics. All of her first four albums may be in the top 2,000, but zero are in the top 500 and she also has no songs in the top 1,000. That doesn't feel quite ri...

This I agree with in a big way. If you asked me who I thought were the two greatest bands ever, I’m easily saying The Velvet Underground and Sleater-Kinney.

So in about a year time, she will have 5 albums out of 5 in the AM top 2000 which is quite a feat, especially for someone whose name doesn't seem to appear much in discussion about major artists. There aren't that many artists who have 100% of their discography in AM (though yes, it is a bit easier...

I know we’re just 4 months into the 2020s, but I can already see this album being a critics’ AOTD contender.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters is the most experimental album she’s ever made. You can hear echoes of artists like Tom Waits and John Cage on this album’s songs. It makes for instrumentation that is more confrontational than anything she’s ever made in her career. But it’s the lyrics on here which blow me a...

I think this group is very solid. The Kendrick songs are classics of course, but “Run Away With Me” and “XO TOUR Llif3” would definitely be in the top twenty of my EOD songs list if I made one.
