JohnnyoftheWell 12.04.23	N i c e, got a lot of overlap with you this year and am gonna use this to trawl for my list Need to revisit Virginia Astley (and Drawn Bow!) and peep the new Minwhee Lee, but 1, 2, 5, 9, 16 and 25 are all blessed " Lord Abore and Mary Flynn (SOTY)" accurate
Elynna 12.04.23	Cheers! I hope you find something you enjoy. ps. list is now fully updated
JohnnyoftheWell 12.04.23	Noice, 28 + 33 + yet another Ichiko Aoba live I ain't heard all good to see. Will get stuck into the rest of this
Voivod 12.04.23	Great list as always, Lankum and Exulansis will end up in my list as well. 40 seems very interesting.
GhandhiLion 12.04.23	Irish Folk Music Japan !!?!! : D
Elynna 12.04.23	It’s a weird combo haha, but Japan has a handful of great Celtic folk artists. I remember stumbling upon them through a list on rym
Elynna 12.04.23	Cheers Voivod, thanks again for the Exulansis rec
GhandhiLion 12.04.23	https://youtu.be/PsmfiWA05ts?si=WgP4Uz_huBItaHnG Hmm interesting
Elynna 12.04.23	I found the list if you’re interested: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/AntiWarhol/travelling-sound-cross-cultural-japan/ It’s very unique and well compiled, though most entries are unfortunately only available as physical release
GhandhiLion 12.04.23	Yeah antiwarhol knows a lot about non western music. Something that they highlight as being one of the most interesting albums under that banner. Sung in spanish and Japanese : https://themazatlanpost.com/2019/05/02/have-you-heard-of-japanese-mariachis-this-is-mariachi-samurai/
Dewinged 12.04.23	One of the lists I look forward to every year, you never disappoint Ely. Guess I'll have to give #1 another chance. Nice seeing Sangre de Muérdago there!
Elynna 12.04.23	Aww thanks Dewi that means a lot
Hawks 12.04.23	Sick list buddy. Bout 2 jam 34 so ahrd.
JohnnyoftheWell 12.04.23	11 is good, but will need another jam or two. 22 absolutely heavenly so far
brainmelter 12.04.23	22 and 39 are great picks
Sunnyvale 12.04.23	Great stuff (as usual), Elynna!
Zac124 12.04.23	Still need to give 1 a go.
rellik009 12.05.23	been waiting for your yearly list, always a treat when you post them
Squiggly 12.05.23	No way are Kostnetani and Panopticon based in Minnesota?! Anyway, great list, great #1 pick.
Elynna 12.05.23	Thanks for the kind words y'all. I'm happy to see you found some records here that you enjoy
Egarran 12.05.23	Subscribed, need to check a handful of these.
chemicalmarriage 12.05.23	Jamming 1 now this is fantastic
WalrusTusk 12.05.23	It says here in my notes you like... folk.
Havey 12.06.23	bout time we get some FIELD RECORDINGS up in here
BlazinBlitzer 12.06.23	Lots of great metal picks on here; it kinda makes me interested in some of the metal stuff on here I haven't heard this year.
Pikazilla 12.06.23	Great folk picks, none of that tepid flannel npc dross to be found! Have you checked Thurnin btw?
Elynna 12.06.23	Thurnin's record is very good, it took me some time and multiple spins to fully appreciate it. In the end it only just missed out on my list.
DadKungFu 12.06.23	Love the Lankum love, great year-end list
Elynna 12.07.23	Thanks! I'm really glad to see Lankum appearing on other AOTY lists too. I'm not sure if we'll get a user top 50 this year (with the forums being gone), but if we do, I think they could potentially rank highly.
Sowing 12.08.23	Not a lot of overlap between us but I've heard great things about 1 and will check it out.
DadKungFu 12.08.23	7 has me so intrigued
Egarran 12.08.23	Just bask in the horror vibes of that Lankum video https://youtu.be/qhqpQiXnFx0?si=Q1xANqG51SYnZJEx
BaselineOOO 12.12.23	> woman posts list > 41 seconds pass > Johnny posts long engaging comment just wow... I haven't been this jealous in a long while wooow ok
Egarran 12.12.23	I thought you guys were pals?
Demon of the Fall 12.15.23	Nice list! Kostnateni & Horrendous are my top metal picks. I meant to check out a few of these and didn't get around to them. Interesting seeing LTS here, as they look out of place
