The Best of 2020: Albums

Here we are. 2020, one of the most difficult years in recent memory has ended. And we survived. A global pandemic has made time obsolete, relocated us all to our home offices, and encouraged us all to bake our own bread. As we were practicing social distancing, we often used music to ease our anxiety, pain, sometimes even sorrow. But artists are people, too. They were also under lockdown, they…

The Best of 2020: Songs

2020 was difficult for many reasons. I don’t want to write about the obvious ones, but the music industry was hit pretty hard, too.

The Best of 2019: Songs

Choosing the best songs of each year is often more difficult than pinpointing the most interesting LPs. Why? Because it is virtually impossible given the variety and the number of music released each year. Still, there are always some tunes that just have to be emphasized as especially spectacular, the ones that will stay with us long after we all forget about 2019. Was it better than 2018? Not…
