We lost a lot of good musicians
this year. But that isn’t to say 2016 has been an awful year for music. In
terms of albums, there have been some impressive releases this year that show
we can all still look forward to the future with optimism. Here are my personal
favourites.
“A collection of profound and epic album reviews and musical articles by former astronaut and brain surgeon, Alasdair Kennedy. Reaching levels of poetry that rival Keats and Blake, the following reviews affirm Alasdair to be a prodigy, a genius and a god whose opinion is always objectively right. He is also without a doubt the most modest man in the universe.” - Alasdair Kennedy

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE WEEK 23/12/2016: Pool Art, Daniel Caeser, Mick Jenkins and more...
I wasn’t going to do any more 'tracks of the week' segments this year, but I’ve been getting some good stuff
sent my way in the last fortnight and just had to share it. This may well be
the last post of 2016, so Merry Christmas and a happy a new year! Wait, where’s
my card and present?

My Top 20 Favourite Tracks Of 2016
It’s time for my favourite tracks
of the year, having already given you my worst (there’s a pun here that will
become clear by the end).
Indie rock with a Cure vibe that
feels as bouncy as it does forlorn. ‘It
tastes bittersweet/ beneath the lemon trees’.
19. ‘The Big Big Beat’ – Azealia Banks
This nostalgic house banger has
all the ingredients of a good Azealia anthem – glitzy singing, tongue-twister
rapping and a big big beat!

This week is a Christmas special!
I’ve rounded up the best and worst new Yuletide jams of 2016. Keep it current
this Christmas – play these songs as you cruise back home Christmas Eve in your driverless car
that you bought with your Leicester City bet winnings, or play in the kitchen
as you cook this year’s roast in that Smart oven you bought with that grand you
earnt from selling that AK47 plastic fiver.

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE WEEK 02/12/2016: Run the Jewels, Little Death Machine, Mr. Twin Sister and more...
It’s December, which means you can
now put up your Christmas decorations and year-end lists, although a lot of you
impatient fuckers already did that back in September. For those who aren’t
currently buying Easter eggs already and planning their 2017 favourite albums
list, here are some songs from the last week to remind you what the here and
now looks like!
