Good mail day today, first up is @yelyahwilliams’ ‘Flowers for Vases’ which continues to get plays from me on a regular basis. Can’t wait for fall to hit because I’m sure this will slide very nicely into the colder weather.
Variant: Smoky Pink

Ten years. It’s been ten years since this @thehorriblecrowes release and it’s still one of my all time favorite @thebrianfallon works. They announced an anniversary pressing, but I’ve always loved this red variant. (Last photo: the black variant I also have, and the live version.) #vinyl
Happy 20th to one of my absolute favorite albums of all time. It’s been a long week and I’m going to throw this on and turn it up. If this can’t make me feel better, nothing can. #vinyl #jimmyeatworld
Hot damn that’s nice looking. Kicking off the weekend with @awilhelmscreamofficial. #vinyl #awilhelmscream
I can’t believe it’s been twenty years since this came out. That unfortunately also means it’s been twenty years since I graduated high-school. #blink182 #vinyl #iamold
Happy 33rd birthday to the only person who could get me to wear funny matching T-shirts in public. I love you more than anything. 🎂
It’s finally here and now I don’t wanna open it and get the felt cover all grungy. Damn good album though!
Happy Mother’s day to the mom that not only let me draw her like this, she laminated it and turned it into a place mat for like two decades. 🤣
Honestly might be one of the most underrated albums from the music scene; holds up remarkably well even today.
I don’t know how historians will write about 2020, but there’s a good chance future generations just flat out don’t believe the truth. I just lived through it and can barely believe everything that happened over the last twelve months. I know one day in the future, I’ll be scrolling through my phone and will come upon photos of my wife and I in masks and be like, “Oh, yeah, remember that whole thing?” It’s virtually impossible for me to wrap my head around this past year and everything that’s happened. So, deep breath, let’s put the head down and keep powering through.

Read More “Jason Tate’s Top Albums of 2020” I wanted to call this piece, “On The Surprise Joy of Raising Chickens and the Importance of the Small Things,” but that would really bury the lede that this is an End of the Year celebration list. Because, somehow, in the myriad of catastrophes, pandemics, elections, family feuds, break-ups, loss of friendships, and everything in between, 2020 still managed to deliver some immensely great music.
Read More “Garrett Lemons’s Top Albums of 2020” What a year, huh? Luckily for us, the music that came out of this hellish year was nothing short of remarkable. From the exponential growth of female artists taking the lead in 2020, to some interesting emo and pop-punk bands making their landmark artistic statements with their latest albums, this year had a little bit of everything. Also, being the shameless self-promoter, I hyperlinked to the reviews I contributed to this site this year. These are the 30 albums that I enjoyed the most over the course of this year.
