Anything related to 2023 in music!

Reviewing the year in music in whatever form seems appropriate. Let's see if we can get more than five participants.

A lot of year-end lists are starting to drop, so I figured we should have a dedicated place to talk about our favorite music of 2021. Lists, recommendations, surprises, and reflections welcome.

Seemingly years have passed since someone other than Cobbler has been mentioned in a title. And this thread is likely to last long enough for Gump to attend said concert in October.

The term "experimental" is used in so many different ways and so many different circumstances that I was wondering how people would define it. What is the most experimental/odd/left-field album you have come across? For me, it's probably Bjork's Medulla. The basic idea is nearly all the...

Perhaps we won't have formal tallying this year, but I think the B&C year-end thread is a great tradition that we shouldn't lose sight of. So post whatever you want here about the year in music: best albums, favorite tracks, whatever. I will have a top ten albums ready in the next week, I hope.

Noticed the other thread was closed and archived, but our man Thom has a soundtrack coming out soon and everything from it so far has been incredible. Suspirium might be my song of the year at present. Also, if I had written the song Lucky I would sing it every damn chance I got.

It just took me two minutes to load a single email. I dare anyone to name a worse program for any facet of tech life.

Last night at a bar I heard New Slang by The Shins. It's a great song, but the thing for me is, despite multiple efforts to get into them, there isn't a single other song in their catalogue that I really enjoy. What artists fall into that category for you?

Please continue.

Why was the ocean arrested? When is Labor Day? What is a tree's favorite drink? :happy: or :| ?

I'm wondering what albums are important to you all despite lack of popularity or critical respect. The one that stands out to me is Oasis' Heathen Chemistry. I was listening to an Oasis playlist today and was thinking about how much I love that particular album, even though it is probably their...

I was reorganizing my CD collection tonight and happened upon Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures. In addition to being one of the most powerful, emotive albums I own, it also has perhaps the greatest sleeve design I have ever seen: This is a prime example of the cover art reflecting the music...

So I'm going to get this started, as I think the listening party is good idea for our little community. Suede was mentioned several times in the last thread, so I went ahead and listened to the debut. This is some good-old guitar rock with huge riffs and even larger hooks. It felt good to be...

...mainly because I've had Higgs Boson Blues in my head for a week straight now. AoTY for time being, guys.

In honor of PFan and his inability to produce the much sought-after meme history.

Inspired by all the comments about slow 3G networks, iPhone 5 availability, etc. :wink: Enjoy.

I'm wondering if there is some way that we can restrict the number of YouTube videos that are posted on a single page. In B&C especially, some people have a tendency to include ten or more YouTube videos in a single post, which makes the page load extremely slowly or sometimes not load at all...

On Tuesday, the Rolling Stones will release a deluxe edition of their rollicking 1978 album Some Girls. As I was searching for an appropriate place in which to share this information, I was highly surprised to find that no thread existed in B&C with the words "Rolling Stones" in the title. I...

Carry on. Let's see how far we can get without comparing Thom to Bono.

The Black Arts, a dormant political issue for the last 300 years, are alive and well in Delaware - or so said Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell. So, has anyone had an encounter with witchcraft lately? Can the media conjure enough hype to make witchcraft a political concern again? Please discuss!

I hope that I was not presumptuous in creating the next installment. Please continue, and edit the title as warranted.

Seriously, no person in human history has ever been less deserving of fame than this man. And now at least five times a week I find a story about him on the front-page of my Yahoo news service, typically dealing with some banal emotional conflict he's enduring concerning his ex-wife or kids...
