Both of my best friend's parents growing up had one. His Mom's was the regular use one and his Dad's was the newer and slightly fancier one we rarely got to go in. Great memories of both.

That first song REALLY sets a tone and he doesn't falter from there.

One of my friends Dad’s had one that was his baby occasionally when he’d have too much to drink l. He would let us take it out for a spin. It was like driving a ballistic missile.

I'm very torn with the new Feather June Musty. After two full listens, I can't help but feel like all the even tracks are kinda trash
The odd tracks, especially 1, 5, and 7 are all damn good. FJM has featured on my AOTY lists with every album he's dropped. Will he make it this year or not?... lot's of listening still to ensue. Stay tuned

I've never liked FJM at all. This new album was not on my listening list but I will add it. I do need more "
" or "" entries for this month after all...

I've never really understood the unique hate for FJM. Sure his sardonic style rubbed some folks the wrong way originally, but he hasn't made an album or written like that in like 7 years. He doesn't even have a signature sound to hate on - he's flipped genres like 4 times since Honeybear. And even then a lot of it sounds like other indie rock and pop that people DO like.

Just a few. I don't have large lists anymore; I've devoted (what was) extensive listening time towards furthering study in Japanese now. I'll probably get to around ~225 releases listened to this year.
Like with you, this will be my last list to listen to before arranging my faves (only a top25 this year):
- Defeated Sanity - Chronicles of Lunacy
- Father John Misty - Mahashmashana
- Boldy James, Harry Fraud - The Bricktionary
- Kendrick Lamar - GNX
- Amber Mark - Loosies (EP)
- Opeth - The Last Will and Testament

His best albums were the one's where he "rubbed some folks the wrong way"

225 is still impressive this year (I know we share similar sentiments on the year as a whole as far as quality of new releases..)
Yup, last release day for me. What a banger of a final day tho!
Good list for today! Looking forward to your thoughts and upcoming AOTY list!

I gave it a second listen while on my morning walk and I enjoyed it more the second time through. It’s hard to say where it will rank overall in his discography a year or two from now but as of this morning I enjoyed it all the way through and I am sure like his previous albums it will probably grow further the more I play it.I'm very torn with the new Feather June Musty. After two full listens, I can't help but feel like all the even tracks are kinda trash
I have a feeling if this came out in September instead of now it would probably be a top 5 contender for me.

Me neither. His persona really rubbed some the wrong way and it’s funny to me because like I know if the music was presented without the persona many of his detractors would love him. He is a modern day Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, or Warren Zevon [ducks].
But because he plays up iconoclast persona and is honest about it being a schtick opposed to playing coy. It drives certain people nuts.
He is really funny in a really thoughtful way, what’s to hate?

I think it might grow into that for sure but it will tough for it to supplant some other excellent albums in the next few weeks that already have a head start.

Sorry @musicjunkiegreg but Opeth never stood a chance against Kendrick for me!
That said, I'm enjoying it. More the second time around because I can play it loud now... Last night was too quiet. Will definitely be listening to it more before the month is up.
