So... here we are... the end of the year is nigh, and what a year. I'll delete the preamble.

Who's doing it this year?

He put so much out over lockdown I just don't have the time to go through it. Any highlights you'd point me to?

Adrianne Lenker - Songs

Strongest year in a while, going to enjoy this thread.

Early shout Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters, I was put off by the initial hype but it has grown on me and it will take some topping.

I've listened to 1-40 and #50 so I have some catching up to do. Originally, when they were being released I missed the first 7 or so but eventually caught up and a new Bulbils release became the highlight of the day. It genuinely felt like I was sharing this hell with them. Seem to remember 10/11/12 ish it got turned up a notch and also some hits around the 20 mark. I would need to scroll thru them again. I want to one day sit down and download them onto individual CDs and make my own box set as Bulbils were a big connect to the world. My favourite is probably 'Journey of The Canada Goose' (#32?). It's a single 35 minute jam and have often stuck it on. I need a revision tho... one day...

So who's organising RAOTY? I got free crate of beer when I did it so...?

edit: Dawson's bass guitar and bass guitaring and his amp or whatever is an absolutely beautiful thing in Bulbils. You can also hear it in Hen Ogledd. Sumptuous sound - love it.

I'm almost positive that I have never posted in one of these, but I actually heard new music this year

For your consideration: Phoebe Bridgers - "Punisher"

FlashingBlade has told me this evening thru ESP that he is interested in organising the prestigious RAOTY award for 2020. Great to see.

Happy 60th x

Be good to have a preamble in here... jogs the memory.

Keeley Forsyth's debut was a real joy for me in January , but that was overtaken in the black and white solo female cover competition from Kellly Lee Owens. I so want to nestle into her neck and under her hair. Proved to be an absolute must listen driving smoothly on the A34 at 90mph. Shit & Shine shot out 2 albums. Coriky eventually came out. Moses Boyd, Jeff Parker, Craven Faults (plus the monster extended version of one track some time later) Trees Speak, Nightingales, Four Tet, Wasted Shirt, Sunwatchers... and lots more. Buying Sun Ra and Hey Collosus I think - yet to hear those.

I have an Evernote list of albums that I've kept going to help my shit memory and then tonight came across my Osees record - not on my list. Who could forget that release?! Me apparently.

Glad you got a crate last year. Was worried that tradition had ended.

The Necks not got a mention yet. That album was a stunner.

So who's gonna take up the challenge?...

I'm happy to raise my hand and take responsibility for this for the 2020 edition - I've enjoyed following/participating in the past and I do enjoy a good spreadsheet.

Unless there are any objections, I'll formally kick things off at the turn of the month (around next weekend) and keep voting open for six weeks into early January.

*Just a note here to say I've not forgotten this for this weekend.
