This is the best AOTY list I've seen. Not necessarily bc I agree with the order, but bc the inclusion of the "For Fans Of". Checking out a ton of new albums from this list today … EARLYWORM’s Top Albums of 2020 — EARLYWORM

Seeing posts on insta of people receiving their Grandaddy 20th Anniversary Deluxe Sophtware Slump records has me feeling the jealousy.
Submitted my 13 entries for this "2020 Song of the Year" elimination bracket with a group of friends. It's tricky because they've been doing this for years, and I'm somewhat new, so I try to include my actual favorite songs and also songs I know won't be on their lists (from rap, electronica, pop). List below.
Pretty sure this has been stated already, but worth reminding: as a music fan, check out the documentary Other Music when you can. I think some of the spirit of that place is alive here in N&G. And support your local record store!!!
Listening to year end "best song" playlists can be a real trip. Like moving from Saweetie's "Tap In" to Fleet Foxes "Sunblind" on the Pitchfork list sure is a unique transition.
Com Truise does it again – music that transports me back to the late 80s as a kid playing Outrun in the arcade. The track Reciprocity on his new one is dope.
Began the morning with Mary Lattimore and now listening to this beautiful new Force Majeure album from Intl Anthem. I didn't intend today to be so much harp, but glad it happened!
New Kishi Bashi song was an unexpected surprise this AM!
Adrianne Lenker's AMA yesterday is both what I expected, and so much more. She's a sage at a young age:
If you love Gradaddy already, or are just getting into them, make sure to check out Jason's recent AMA. He's one of a kind.
Grandaddy's The Sophtware Slump … on a wooden piano released today. Sitting here getting chills listening to the epic opening track. So many memories associated with this album. So happy Jason did this.
Still a month and a half to go, but my #1 music discovery of 2020 is still BC Camplight. He's got a few albums, it's just that I only discovered him until this year. Shortly After Takeoff released this year is a trip.
Any news on the new Cure album? Wasn't it coming this year?
On this album release Friday check out the Jesse Kivel album Infinite Jess, especially if you like the heartland synth vibe, albeit in low-fi. Great fall mood music.
Lucky to get day off from my employer. Only spinning relaxing things today. Bonobo's Migration on now, I'm lining up Bing & Ruth, Album Leaf, and Khruangbin records. Recs welcome! If I don't have it I'll stream.
Steady Holiday's recent single Living Life is just fantastic. I saw her open for Islands a couple years ago and enjoyed her set, but this is next level stuff.
I'm 41, so this article/list of Landfill Alternative from the 90s is some heavy nostalgia to 90s alternative radio (shout out to WBRU in Prov RI). The writer really dug up some gems I forgot about completely!
The new Hot Chip single with Jarvis Cocker singing background is exactly what I needed!!! Straight To The Morning!!!
RTJ fans, seen this yet? Performance of "walking in the snow" that begins around 19:20 is incredible.
This 3LP remastered pressing of Tom Petty's Wildflowers is wonderful - really warm sound. -
