It has been a thing I wanted to do. Just didn't expect it would be now. Excited and nervous but I feel I'll be alright.

Well, that Daft Punk prediction went out of the window. Though I wouldn't be that shocked if they do the same action that LCD Soundsystem did back in the 2010's. But it has been a while since I posted on this. 1993's top 100 is almost done and will post what my canon ranking is on the diary, though the actual list for that year won't be done for maybe a while. 1977 will be starting soon which I am excited for. Personal life wise? Work has been good and it will almost 3 months since I started up my new job. But the big thing that I am quite ecstatic for will have to be having an own place of living. Finished up the paperwork yesterday and now getting renovated. So if I go a little quite during March, you'll know why. But I am happy.

Awesome, congrats! 😁

So I had a bit of an epiphany. I kind of want to guess for potential new albums that will come out next year. Now this isn't me knowing what will be out. But more of taking a hypothetical guess/having fun. So let me make some predictions.

For one, I feel Kendrick Lamar will have an album out by next year. Regardless of what anyone's political beliefs are, there is something brewing to make a potent album out of the situation. You could also throw in some other TDE acts like Ab Soul or Ishaid Rashard. I could have throwed in Schoolboy, but that is a bit of an unlikely for me.

The same thought could also be throwed to Tyler The Creator, but it might be a 2022 release, since I don't know if he has anything brewing. The is more potential of Frank Ocean releasing something sooner, due to the quarantine and able to create something or mailing to other people.

Kind of wondering where Death Grips are? Had a big 2018. Don't remember if they had anything 2019. But they were a no show for this year. Thinking Bjork will have something real soon since she never missed a 2-4 year gap with making an album. I would also throw Radiohead in there but like Tyler, it might be more of a 2022 thing since this will be the big tenth album and I feel like they want to be quite special.

What else? Maybe a new LCD Soundsystem album? Been at least four years. Also maybe Jamiroquai? But usually they can be way later. Like a 2023 or 2024 because there release schedule is way looser. The same can be said for Sade, though I feel like they were brewing something.

Lastly want to bring up some electronic artists. I feel like the most likely would be a new album by The Field. The release schedule isn't that bad. 2 to 3 years is normal. But acts like Daft Punk or Boards Of Canada is up in the air.

There is a lot more acts that could have new stuff coming in the pipeline, but I didn't want this to be long. Happy new year everyone. 🥳

Thanks for the excellent update.

I feel you on all the listening projects and mixed with real life and work etc it can all be a lot to do and think about.

I still need to listen to the Sheena Ringo album you recommended on the canon game. I wanted to do that fast so I could get you to listen to 1 particular 1993 album which is one of my faves from that year and is WAY too low on our BEA Top albums of 1993 list. But I will let this Ringo album percolate and then post my thoughts and hopefully I'll be able to officially nominate it.

Fuck it i'm no good with secrets and suspense. Its the Fugazi album, "In On The Kill Taker"

EDIT: I AM WAAY behind on that game thread! LOL. for some reason i'm not getting email updates so I thought the game had stopped and now I see that 3 people have posted there in last 12 hours including someone recommending Fugazi. Jesus!

Yeah, I don't understand the no update. For me it has to do with refreshing my mail on my phone. Also sorry for my take on the Fugazi album. Enjoyed it, but not an absolute favorite for me. But you'll probably enjoy it way more than me.

Well, it has been a bit since I popped my head for this diary post. And want to air out some stuff. First off, I don't think I will be getting out my top 20 for 2020 out during the end of the year. There is some big clean up I want to do from going through the top 100 or going through some individuals list. Travelful's list is probably the most up my speed but there are some other users I would like to tackle. Also would like to go through the albums from 2020 that exists in my wish list. Maybe during 2021, I'll get that started as my next project since I am back on the canon game. This time going through 1993 and so far got 40/100 albums done. Was thinking that might be done by maybe February but I don't necessarily know if that will happen because there is some big news from me. Basically, I have a new job. Doing factory based work where I have to organize packages and they are sent around to different parts of the country and possibly globally. Have done at least 4 days worth and have been enjoying it. Though they are long days. The other thing I would mention that yesterday was my last day from my retail job. And was hoping I could have my schedule adjusted. Talked to the manager. He said it wouldn't worked out, gave him my tag and hugged him to working there for 5 years. But it was time to move on and hopefully this job could last longer than the two jobs I tried out last year. There are some other things I could mention but I don't want to bore anyone that usually reads this. I think that is it. Will post whenever I will post.

God, October has been quite nuts. I might be skipping on getting the third quarter for 2020. Like out of all the stuff that was released, I think my favorite thing for October so far is the new Roisin Murphy. And then it would probably be Autechre's second October record, Plus. And then there is some albums from the wish list and from the top 100 from 2020 I want to get to. It might be a possibility that I might hit 200 albums for current year. Which would be quite nuts. As well as coming really close to hitting 500 albums for the 2010's. Not done yet, got a long way to go. But that's a worthy milestone. Recently, I dented through the discography of Hot Chip and have two more albums left. Also going through at least two albums from Plaid. Not done with Polymer, but that album be banging. Kind of want to talk. Oh also the 3.0 video is out.

That is going to be funny. At least got an hour of that done. Will watch the rest later.

This is dope - well done! Will definitely pick up some recs from it.

Thank you very much. Hope you enjoy the recommendations.

Greatest list update will come hopefully real soon. Maybe tonight, but don't count on it.

After talking about this with you for the longest time now, I really appreciate the immense amount of effort you’ve put into it. When you first gave Reaching for Indigo a perfect score I knew your stance was bound to shift on it but to see Voodoo, YMO, Burial & Mr. Bungle come down is surprising. Anyway, I’m excited to see everything that does make the cut man!

Thank you very much. But who knows. They might dig out of there hole. And even then, that is where the year end lists come into play. Plus the list is somewhat mapped out. But will change as more 100's come into play. As well as want to add different addendums in the future as I listen to new albums either old or recent, as well as when I feel like I went through a year. But will be saved when the list goes up.

Yeah definitely. It’s a really smart way of keeping a record of things. Because you never know what’s gonna come out from one week to the next.

#19 I Disagree-Poppy
#20 Superstar-Caroline Rose

So this was the list from the beginning of April of what was in the running of my favorite albums of 2020. Man this list has changed. I think it changed a day after the list was posted. But it has changed since we have reached the halfway point of 2020. Now here is the new list. And I think I have some stuff to say.

#1 Rakka-Vladislav Delay
#2 Sawayama-Rina Sawayama
#3 The Slow Rush-Tame Impala

#15 Mystic Familiar- Dan Deacon
#16 Draining Love Story-Sewerslvt
#17 Suddenly-Caribou
#18 Ecstasy-Disclosure
#19 Una Presencia En La Brisa-Leandro Fresco & Rafael Anton Irisarri
#20 Vodou Ale-Chouk Bwa & The Angstromers

Yeah, this has changed up since the last time. You have Vodou Ale where the drum playing and some electronic flourishes makes this album pop compared to its peers. There is the new Bibio album where the brevity of it and the clear sound from most of the album makes it a good introduction point for his discography. Especially since he has a good chunk of music. Then you have Jessie Ware coming with one of the best pop albums of the year. Personally, I prefer her dabbling of nu disco and how the majority of the tracks blossom of have hooks for days compared to Dua Lipa. Daniel Avery collaborates with Allesandro Cortini for one of the best ambient albums of 2020. Laura Marling came out with my pick for favorite folk album for 2020. No disrespect to Fiona Apple or Phoebe Bridgers, both of your albums were in the great to excellent category. Thundercat came back with his space age funk that actually spoke to me more than Drunk. And lastly, the big climbers for 2020.

While I did enjoy the kick off of the new Arca album, I felt that the "single" she released earlier in the year was better due to the no fucks given throughout the single where the music can be abrasive and crazy while having moments that felt very revealing like the laughing bit where she sounded broken but excited. Honestly that part gave me chills. Then you had The Orb come back with an album that honestly is up in the running of being there best album. To the point where I'm tempting to have it in my top 3 but also giving it a 100 due to the variety, the full sound of each track, the emotion and other qualities from it. Don't sleep on this album. And speaking of 100's you got Rina Sawayama's debut where while I do agree that she has untapped potential for her future albums, this has been one of my favorite in a long time where I just love the ever-loving shit out of it.

And that is that. And keep in mind there is other stuff to mention like the new RTJ album, Chromatica, grae, Sideways To New Italy and plenty of others. As well as not getting to some of the big albums of the year. This is probably gonna change again since there is some new exciting music coming out through the pipeline. See you next time.

Happy birthday Luigii! 😁 Also excited to see your finished 2020 and overall lists.

Thank you. Overall list has been coming closer to completion. Will be a bit since I have written down the groupings and see how it will be placed. Also while that 2020 list will have 100 albums soon, I still want to venture through that year to find more stuff. But we will see what happens later on.
