Best of the year music lists will start popping out a little before Thanksgiving and they will continue to trickle out into the first week or so of December and then a few stragglers towards New Years.

It's looking like 4 best of '24 podcasts for The Magic Organ and maybe an honorable mention if I can squeeze one out. Those shits take time (I've already begun downloading and contemplating my choices), so there will be one or two more non best of '24 episodes before that. Hence the beginning of the end.

Best of year lists are the best time of the year to be a music fan, at least one like me where I listen to the choices on a lot of these lists. If I had two suggestions for budding music listeners, one would be to ignore anything the NY Times puts on a list, the odds of finding a banging record in the paper of record is almost zero, their music writers have always been the worst. Ignore NPR, what a bag of soft ass over there.

The other is just life advice, don't listen to Wilco, Wilco is one of the most boring bands ever, right up there with The National, don't listen to them, man that shit is energy vampire music, awfulness incarnate.

Enjoy, and thanks for listening.
