Music: Best of 2023

This year I've been particularly active about trying to find new artists and then exploring their catalogs, and according to Spotify I've hit Like on over 1,000 songs (and purchased over 650, because frankly fuck Spotify). So, around the beginning of December, I thought it would be fun to try and pull together a Best of 2023 playlist, and three weeks later here we are!

These are not by any measures songs that were released in 2023, just songs that I, personally, happened to hear for the first time this year (well, including December 22, so that the playlist spans a full 12 months).

I also gave myself the restriction that I could only use one song by any single artist, which was easily the hardest part of making the list (although I would absolutely have run into different, equally hard choices otherwise). And then, because this is a fundamentally self-indulgent exercise, I dumped a bunch of second tracks by my favorite new artists, and a few other difficult last-minute cuts, into a "B-Side" playlist that's still half the length of the main one.

Anyway, here they are -- hopefully you'll discover something new, too!

(I'll make a second post later with the full playlist text including links to Bandcamp pages where applicable.)

NEVE CAMPBELL

as Maggie McPherson

in THE LINCOLN LAWYER (2022-)

[byneddiedingo]

Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf in Lady Bird (Greta Gerwig, 2017) Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges, Timothée Chalamet, Julie Stefans, Lois Smith, Stephen Henderson, Odeya Rush, Jordan Rodrigues, Marielle Scott. Screenplay: Greta Gerwig. Cinematography: Sam Levy. Production design: Chris Jones. Film editing: Nick Houy. Music: Jon Brion. Maybe it's not the "female 400 Blows" that Greta Gerwig reportedly wanted to make, but it'll do until that comes along. We could only hope that Gerwig has something like François Truffaut's "Antoine Doinel cycle" in the works. It doesn't have to be the "Lady Bird McPherson" cycle, either, but just more sensitive, intelligent films about family and environment. And I hope that if she does, she'll find more roles for the wonderful Laurie Metcalf, whose nuanced performance as Lady Bird's hard-working, hard-bitten mother, skeptical of anything that smacks of overreaching one's station in life, to my mind easily outshadows the performance that beat it for the supporting actress Oscar. Not that Allison Janney wasn't terrific in I, Tonya (Craig Gillespie), but her role was one-note when compared with the subtleties that the part of Marion McPherson demanded -- and Metcalf supplied. I also found myself thinking about a movie that stars Gerwig but which she didn't write or direct, Rebecca Miller's Maggie's Plan (2015), and realizing how movie formulas can either sustain or cripple a film that tries to reach beyond them. In Maggie's Plan, Miller tries to make a conventional domestic comedy rise above its conventions, to infuse its sometimes over-familiar comic situations with a bit of poignant realism. She fails because she's not willing to let her characters transcend the situations, to surprise us. Lady Bird is equally formulaic: It's essentially a coming-of-age teen comedy, something we've seen before. But Gerwig and her performers flesh out the characters into something more plausibly real than the genre demands.
