Lucretia's Top Releases of the Year
A few records that WERE on my list but didn't pupulate in Sputnik: The Honlytonk Wranglers - Hangin' Around, Garden Home - Garden Home, Jimmy Montague - Tomorrow's Coffee, and The Audio Unit - Do You Remember the Day We Left the Earth?.
51-65 are Honorable Mentions.
Also, my band put out an LP this year, Interpersonal - The Long Bright Dark if you enjoy stuff influenced by Brand New, Thrice, Title Fight, and Turnover. |
