BEST albums OF 2018 - NUMBERS 16 thru 20

Apparently we stop discovering new music at the age of 30. I’ve always scoffed at that theory. I’m constantly looking for something new. Or at least so I thought. Turns out I have a wheelhouse: I am all indie, all the time. There are a few stylistic variances that sway the needle on my turntable a little but I’m barely scratching the surface of the current cultural landscape. That’s OK. I’m most comfortable from this vantage point.

With that in mind, here are the albums I got behind this year. The order is kind of arbitrary and likely shifted day-to-day. I’m sure I’m forgetting something along the way. Maybe you can jog my memory?

20. Melody’s Echo chamber - bon voyage

19. chastity - death lust

18. La Luz - floating features

17. the breeders - all nerve

16. mourn - sopressa familia

#tbt the first promo shot of My Pet Genius, taken by Producer Rob Sanzo after a grueling all-night mixing session for Might Strike Satellite. No instagram filters, just straight up Adobe 4.0.

Today I said goodbye to what was my little corner of the world for the past 18 years. MPG has called it a day. Thanks to all who paid attention. Trust, there will be new music from me soon (really.)

Today would have been my brother's 63rd birthday. So today like every day I will play guitar. It's my way of knowing he will always be with me. Forever miss you, Paul. #RIP #playguitar

Out having a pint and enjoying this juke box. Painfully aware that people in Paris were out attempting to have a great evening themselves. Animals decided to put an abrupt end to that. Hearts and thoughts to all there. Good will prevail. #peaceforparis (at The Old Laurel)
