Kinda just wished their indie rock catalogue went further than Sydney's Northern Beaches.

Laneway is a different beast now. Probably necessary for its viability but a world away from the Footscray set-up. Reckon half the crowd would've come just to see Fred and Joji (Fred was good, Joji's set is for the Filthy Frank heads) Probably a few years away from semi-retiring from the...

Top 100 doesn't interest me anymore, don't think there was one song on my personal top 10 (though that list was pretty niche and random), but I mean Say Nothing is like quintessentially modern Triple J no.1 material.

Just randomly searched FP so apologies for the bump, but vale to Pharoah, an absolute king. Promises was some of the most life affirming s**t I've ever heard, and using that to listen to more of Pharoah over the past year has been an absolute treat.

Never been more annoyed to have plans as I was when I heard JID being announced as a replacement for Listen Out the other day. Just setting up every alert possible for a tour if he sticks around, but doubt it. Seems like this is the first time he's playing The Forever Story (which is probz my...

We Cry Together is unreal (and real) as hell geez. No idea Taylour Paige could flow like that. Father Time, the end to Auntie Diaries on first listens...amazing. Appreciate Kendrick being this popular but never phoning it in.

I skipped over Nas' King Disease last year, but the sequel to it dropped over the weekend and it's a damn good listen. Lauryn Hill's verse on Nobody had me floating amongst the clouds.

Only MC who could reference Slobodan Milosovic and use Eyjafjallajökull in a rhyme. Shittest possible news to start the goddamn year, but take some comfort in knowing that his discography was so deep that it's gonna be a blast going through it all and finding some absolute gems for the...

Jai Paul giving us his first bits of new music and seemingly finally coming to terms with that 2013 leak brings a legitimate tear to the eye.

Fetishisation of northern beaches bands amongst the Js audience is truly over the top. Talking straight, an almost perfect song for this, came in at like 130 something.

More Life is still the best thing Drake's done since the musically weird but coherent Take Care. Scorpion is not great, pretty pretentious in a 'drake's the only one who loves life' kinda way, and exhausting as * but I'm mostly mad cause he'd done given us Scorpios a bad rep.

Definitely doesn't need to be martyred, but some of his latest stuff got on anxiety and withdrawal and that connected with a lot of teenagers. Feel for them.

Ye is fine, but can't help but feel that almost all of the tracks have been done by him in the past, and better. Gone back to back where the peaks have been non-kanye - chance/ultralight, 070 shake/ghost town. Give me No Mistakes w/ Charlie and that Hey Young World sample too. Violent Crimes is...

Dunno about the whole LP, but The Games We Play is undefeated in getting me to stop everything and hit repeat 10x.

Need some rain to properly soak myself into new Beach House, but it's delightful. When have they ever put a foot wrong? Was gonna say Dark Spring gave me some real Chromatics x Lost River memories. And then this popped up, Dear Johnny maybe out this year too? 2018 man.

New Mitski jawn comes out in August, and this got released yesterday. Goddamn in love.

The first time I saw it I laughed, sure. Some of the other re-appropriations of it though are just lame and tacky af. Still, you can't create art trying to foolproof it against parody. It's inevitable. The actual music is great. Will never be 100% sold on Gambino as a rapper but that doesn't...

Yeah Iceage's got my early aoty. Everything kicks in from the opener, more adventurous, more overdubs than what they've done in the past. The Nick Cave comparisons have always existed, Plowing especially, but I didn't bother looking at it like that especially when the Marching Church one are...

Dirty Computer is the first Janelle record that I've liked all the way through. Always admired her artistry but there were songs I would skip over on Electric and ArchAndroid. This is a great listen start to finish.

Jean Grae, Rapsody are all quite easily better than Cardi B. But there's a reason why Bodak Yellow slays anytime it gets played, and why she's so popular. Like I'm not about to Spotify it on the tram home when I finish work, but on the w/e if I end up at like Alumbra or Laundry or whatever...

New EP should be out this pretty soon, but this has me feeling things. Very much here for this year's Jay Som, Mitski, J-Brekkie indie peaks w/ Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy and Lucy Dacus. Can't say I expected a Sky Ferreira feature on an Iceage track, but this got me. One of my favourites -...

Julian Casablancas brought me here (but Ariel Pink isn't this generation's David Bowie)

Moses Sumney. Parked our asses for Misty, Slowdive, Pond. idc for Wolf Alice, but lost a few along the way who went to see em. They enjoyed it.

It was the dude's birthday, but he was pretty unfazed by it all. Hadn't heard Rocket before, but I dug the s**t out of what I heard.

I gotta lotta time for sandy alex g after Laneway.

And Barnsey and Big Enough becoming a worldwide meme is also undeniably a great music moment....

Yeah, that Callinan stuff seems a bit of an ott reaction, though maybe idk cut it out with the dicks and minors stuff. Think I'm being dragged to Kirin and Mac at the Forum in a couple of weeks too. Fair to say that'll be an interesting one, though I am actually interested in hearing Kirin play.

Honestly, where there's no structure in the OOZ is where it shines. Dum Surfer might be the album's Easy Easy, but Logos, Sublunary, The Cadet Leaps is where I'm getting my kicks from.

Not feeling all the 2017, average year vibes. Probably not much that will go on to have huge lasting legacies, but a lot of great sounding stuff that I at least will re-visit a lot. 1. SZA, CTRL - For pure pleasure, and late night beats. A near perfect album (best kendrick feature too). 2...
