AGDFA’s 2017 Year-End Comp Mix

Posted on | January 15, 2018 | No Comments

This yearly tradition (6 years running) goes on despite the fact i’ve been pretty quiet
on the podcast front.

Actually, these 60 songs would’ve made the cut and been part of episodes I would’ve recorded for you fine people.

Instead, you get them all in one GIANT stew of RockShoegaze, Hip Hop, Electro and Sad Bastard musical goodness.

Enjoy! and see you on the flipside.

Bonne Année!

My Year-End Lists Of 2017

Posted on | December 28, 2017 | No Comments

Hello.

Remember me?

I know I know.

I’ve been all-around lazy when it comes to all things AGDFA but
you were still on my mind.

I swear!

The podcast is not dead. Just been on a long hiatus. I’ll come back to it
soon enough.

In the meantime, I did still listen to alot of music all year round and 2017 was
another good one.

If anything, there’s too much good music outthere and it’s hard to hear
it all or come up with a year-end list that captures the greatness without
missing one or 10 picks you’d wanna include on the list.

Here’s what I came up with and hopefully, you’ll agree with some of my
picks and best case scenario, you’ll discover a favorite new artist/band
in the process.

07. Metz Strange Peace
08. L’Orange The Ordinary Man
09. Sevdaliza Ison
10. Moses Sumney Aromanticism

11. Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly And James McAlister Planetarium
12. Jonwayne Rap Album Two
