Songs I Enjoyed a Lot in 2014

December 22, 2014

Hi friends, here’s a robust round-up of tunes in no particular order that I played the hell out of in the year 2014. It’s a splendid mix of loud, melodic, menacing, hopeful, dark, sweet and crunchy. There’s something for everyone because I care about you guys and I also have a deep-seated, almost debilitating need to be loved. So click those little play buttons, do some air drumming then support these artists and buy their records.

And to answer the question no one asked, my two favorite records of the year were the superb Shmyvesant by Stuyvesant and the majestic IX by …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead.
