The 2018 end of the year music lists thread

http://505indie.com.br/acervo/os-50-melhores-albuns-brasileiros-de-2018/

Elza Soares at 10; Carne Doce's Tonus at #1 (who?); 23 is Marcelo Cabral, avante-samba rock pal of Romulo Froes in Sao Paulo; 31- Gilberto Gil; 34. Heavy Baile – Carne de Pescoço is funk carioca; 38 is Ava Rocha-- more avante-samba

That's it?

One of the best lists for last, The Finest Kiss always finds singles I never knew existed. I added the ones available on Spotify to the end of my singles list: https://finestkiss.wordpress.com/2019/01/02/2018-singles-of-the-year/

Not all singles, but pop tracks selected from Dream/Art/Jangle pop, Shoegaze, etc.: https://open.spotify.com/user/1212496385/playlist/1TingElLqQsoqmRciGAUoy?si=ouXrBmV1TQutTAy4ShCoyg

yeah i've been digging the stuff on colemine this past year, nothing wrong with genre exercises if the feeling's there

had to look up whomst the Y in "GAPDY" was. earnestly thought it was Yeasayer

uhh wrong thread lol

As is often the case, I'm not on board with his #1, but it doesn't matter, there's plenty of great discoveries to be found. It also prompted me to re-listen and re-consider albums by Spirit of the Beehive, Honey Bucket and others. Ural Thomas & the Pain is a great choice for soul.

yeah, very good list ^ and the first one i've seen mention that Clearance record, which i really liked.

I’ve only seen the Shopping album on two other lists. Maybe the ILX love for Sacred Paws last year might carry over.
