Some albums that didn’t make my 2023 favorites, but were still enjoyed… Alternative/Indie edition:

  • Pure Music by Strange Ranger
  • Infinite Spring by Superviolet
  • s/t by Liquid Mike
  • In the End It Always Does by The Japanese House
  • Lucky for You by Bully
  • Careful of Your Keepers by This is the Kit

I’m pretty set with my favorite albums from 2023. I’m going to write up something in depth during December, but here’s the list.

Something for everyone: indie, pop, singer songwriter, alt-country, 90s alternative redux, emo, hardcore, R&B and hip hop. Hope you find something new that you love.

I have a fantasy hockey league that had two drop out from last season. It’s $40 to enter with payouts of $240/120/40 to top 3 teams. If interested, let me know and I will get you the details.

Saw Sunny Day Real Estate tonight - been over 20 years since the last time and they sound just as good as ever.

Can’t believe it’s travel hockey season already. Really glad we fell in with this great group of families & girls. Looking forward to see where they go in their first year at 16u.

Loving the new wallpaper we put up yesterday in our small bathroom. Another step toward completing the project!

The Making of CIVILIAN by Wye Oak - featuring Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack β€” Life of the Record β€” Overcast

One of my favorite albums of all time. A great conversation with the band as they look back at recording and their experiences around that time of their life.
