Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism (2024)

Not as good as Future Nostalgia but then again not much is

Album #18 (1/18/26)

Rosalía - LUX (2025)

Went in skeptical that I would be into this but yeah, there's a reason it was at the top of nearly every year-end list

Album #17 (1/17/26)

The Struts - Pretty Vicious (2023)

Nobody does big, infectious hooks like The Struts

Album #16 (1/16/26)

CHVRCHES - The Bones of What You Believe (2013)

Probably the only person on Earth who got exposed to CHVRCHES through Death Stranding but better late than never, right?

Album #15 (1/15/26)

Cory Branan - Adios (2017)

A little hit or miss for me but the hits are solid enough that I may come back to this one

Album #14 (1/14/26)

grandson - INERTIA (2025)

So obviously trying to be the new Rage Against the Machine and I don't think he really captures it

Album #13 (1/13/26)

Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet (2024)

Let it slip that I didn't think I had ever heard a Sabrina Carpenter song (I had) and my wife asked me to rectify that ASAP
January 13, 2026 at 7:35 PM
Album #12 (1/12/26)

The Menzingers - After the Party (2017)

A bit same-y sound but hits lyrically. All about getting older

Album #6 (1/6/26)

Waxahatchee - Out In the Storm (2017)

Have only heard her more recent alt country stuff, but I do like the more rock-oriented sound on this one

Album #5 (1/5/26)

Oh yeah this is the stuff
January 4, 2026 at 10:13 PM
Album #3

Esmé Patterson - Woman to Woman (2015)

Another artist I really got into last year. Fun concept for an album, but I think she's better when she's writing as herself than a character
January 4, 2026 at 1:27 AM
Album #2 (1/2/26)

Hurray for the Riff Raff - It Don't Mean I Don't Love You (2009)

Got obsessed with HFTRR last year, went back to their beginning today

Ferg I feel like you'd be the king of the Momento app if you don't use it already (lets you track sporting events and concerts)
