Yes, yes, yes! I wish someone working for pop culture publications or animation outlets could tell me what's going on in Brazil, because their animated shorts and features are becoming worthy of contention for the 1st time ever. At this point, with Wei Te's death https://www.youtube.com/wat… https://www.youtube.com/wat…

We can all agree that Disqus is the true enemy here. I'd take a page crash or 2 over 50 clicks per big article.

No problem! That's what immediately came to mind.

I deleted "like Alcest and Deafheaven" haha, so yes. Ghost Bath was on my list, so I'll definitely listen to all of Panopticon and try Secrets Of The Sky. Much appreciated.

KEXP's live ones are hard to top, too.

I mean,

Double-views for all videos!

He just mentioned writing quality and "too indie," so, yup, try that.

Like I said elsewhere, I understand. The Fader _ Songs That You Need In Your Life This Week, The Guardian/The Telegraph, and others have songs of the week that are easy and digestible.

Well, you'll truly be missed if you leave.

If I like either light/shoegaze/melodic stuff or doom/drone, which should I hear?

Nope. It's true. And then the top 10 would have 1 traditional pop hit for the song category. Hip-hop must end up in the top 3 or there's a problem.

That is the problem with losing track of the context. It's that much more work to contextualize, enjoy, or be conversant.

Ceremony was just a stunner that I don't think she can top. Her influences, to me, surpass her music right now, but I did enjoy streaming The Miraculous.

They were doing, like, Tuesday nights. I missed it, too, and I would have traveled far.

Don't go look up articles titled "bands we lost in 2015." It's a graveyard of good bands.

I think it's just because Gwenno's album came out 2014 in its original territory. It got huge attention, just split between years.

Sarah Blasko's went way too pop for me, and I just couldn't get attached to any of her lines or melodies. I adore her, but this didn't hit me. Which was your favorite track?

I get Lord Huron not making album lists, but I cannot believe some of their absolutely gorgeous, retro-yet-movingly written lyric-driven, and catchy songs aren't making songs lists.

Thanks so much!
