For budgetary (and storage) reasons, I don’t impulse buy new releases too often these days. Instead, I wait until year end and grab everything I know I love.

Excellent top 10. I had Barry Can't Swim and Uni Boys just outside my top 10. BCS being yet another band/artist I discovered through you! I am a big power-pop fan but there's something about The Lemon Twigs that hasn't connected for me; it might be that it fell too far on the overly precious side of power pop for me (musically, not lyrically). Which means that by mid-2024 it'll be my favorite record!
And all your projects for 2024 sound amazing! I think you choosing to say "yes" to everything has really paid off! Enjoy the short break from writing...
I can see it coming off as overly precious but when it comes to power pop I seem to have a high tolerance for saccharine sweet that I don’t in other genres! Thanks for all of the well wishes and encouragement this past year!
I know we talked about it already, but the booking residency is awesome- I’m excited for you!
Records-wise, the Circles Around The Sun LP is awesome. I wound up grabbing a copy after learning about it here, so thank you for that!
Thanks,Kevin! I’m happy about the great start and can’t wait to see where it goes.
Glad you love CATS! I’m happy that I’ll finally have a copy when it shows up later this week.
Well-timed Christmas gift?

Smart strategy! I should take a note.
Without it you end up with over six hundred some records and selling on Discogs. I speak from experience hahaha.
