2014 - Best Records:

1. Andrew Jackson Jihad - Christmas Island.

7. Perfume Genius – Too Bright
8. FKA twigs – LP1
   FKA Twigs is awesome! This is the evolutionary Bjork with the whole perf. art meets music thing.

   Yoni Wolf (aka why?) from Anticon doing a nice little side project

2013 Records that I dug this year

• Bleached – Ride Your Heart
• Terry Malts – Nobody Realizes This Is Nowhere
• The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die – Whenever, If Ever
• CHVRCHES – The Bones Of What You Believe

Random Genius Record that I discovered 34 years later:

• Young Marble Giants – Colossal Youth
  Haunting, spare, minimal, dark. Taking the whole no-wave thing and turning it inside out.

Stuff I wanted to like, but couldn’t get into:

• Aphex Twin - Syro.
  Here’s the thing - if you listen to old Aphex it is fucking mental. This album was really tame and I felt a little jobbed here.
• Flying Lotus - You’re Dead
  Too much dissonant jazz. Not enough hiss. I found this grating.
