lol, it's good; i'm curious what everyone's listening to or else i wouldn't do it!

immediately, thanks for that first avalon emerson track and for giving me the song i needed to really want to crack open that K. Michelle album in earnest

Girls In Airports are one of the most underrated bands int he world today and they released a fantastic live album this year

Probably not going to nominate this for our poll, but Maryam Saleh, Maurice Louca, and Tamer Abu Ghazaleh's Lekhfa is worth a listen. Arab indie. I think I'm missing a lot in this case by not being able to understand the words.

― monotony

Great lists. Very happy to see some more love for Do It by Rae Morris. I only discovered it when Popjustice made it their single of the year. I've been obsessively watching the video since then.

re: monotony's list

I came around really late on the Sophia Kennedy album, and then promptly forgot to vote for it in the eoy poll (despite nominating it myself). Hope it places despite me.

I never heard that Nilüfer Yanya song before today, but it's marvelous.
