Last year DiS did a top 100 list. Is this going to be it for this year? I have to think they're going to come out with a larger list.

I want to petition that any list that has Kate Tempest in it be stricken from the record.

The podcast said at about 27:30, they've picked this year 16 records, instead of the usual a hundred where no. 72 was maybe someone's 3rd favourite record of the year, so I think this may be it.

Thanks for the clarification! Sometimes when I'm updating the EOY spreadsheet I almost wish every source would decide to do this...

Can I just say that you're doing an amazing job, Harold? Have I mentioned that you're doing an amazing job?
Everyone you meet fights a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

Thirded of course. And this extends to you, Henrik :happy-partydance:

Since there's a lot of ranting today, including from me, it's great to also emit some positive vibes.
