And again?? Bastards!!
Basically, what I was posting was a link to my hobby/sideline, and their annual “best of year”. Like many denizens of the AW, I have taken my scribblings off elsewhere, to anyone who will indulge me. (So not here! Ed.) At The Barrier is one such, with an almost schizophrenic eclecticism, based of the widely differing tastes of the various writers. Plus, as a small fry, we tend to be directed product from the lesser pools of popular music; the PR of the big companies neither see or need our words of, well, our words.
Given this is a list governed by what we reviewed, it reflects a somewhat different aspect to the music biz than perhaps the shiny pages of Unshod and Boho, but hopefully an interesting browse is offered. With maybe an unexplored gem there for the listening:

See if you can clock mine; shouldn’t be too hard!
Pardon?
@retropath2
Have you tried the Living in Denial Thread?
Yours Mr Retropath2 is either Peatbog Faeries or ØXN, I couldn’t be bothered going further down the list but I will do later.
Too easy! Both actually, but it was the boss that chose ØXN for the list. He is the death and black metal lover. Which was nice.
Heard: two (WITCH and Lankum).
A few more in my TBH pile.
Which is number one?
You are number 6…
It’s best of ‘23 Mr Tiggerlion not Top 10/20/50/100
Yes. But which album is best? Can’t they make their mind up?
We is a collective, Tiggs. Me, personally, await late Dec.
The Afterword is a collective and we make our mind up every year, for better or worse.
I’m guessing ØXN for you 😊
Isn’t that a line from 1984?
ØXN is definitely going to figure in my end of year list.
Bloody hell, I should have gone to Specsavers!
Oooh, an album called petrichor. I almost don’t need to hear it, I just want to own it.
I’m listening to it now, and its gorgeous. Top tip!
