Re: MCCh 2020 (17) September 30
Playlist time:
The Microphones in 2020 is still not on Spotify. Here it is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7BkabF31ak
11 new albums is quite the contrast with last time's 3. It was a big moment apparently, although I'm surprised that Róisín Murphy came out as high as she did. Prediction: despite the great reviews she will be mostly ignored by the time the EOY lists appear.

Re: MCCh 2020 (17) September 30
Only 1 new entry in the top 24. Disappointing.
Re: MCCh 2020 (17) September 30
What would be the reason Young Jesus: Welcome to Conceptual Beach doesn't rate a mention? Not enough reviews or not sufficiently good reviews?
One of my favourite albums of the year thus far.
