I'm offended Ed Sheeran isn't already on that list

We can....if you feel THAT strongly about it.

The thought was to carefully curate at list that whittles all the questionable art down to a select few truly horrible entries by years end.
That is why I initially left the DMB off - I didn't get the truly horrible vibe off it.

My thought was a Top 5 worst by years end (Shout Out Nick Hornby), but the Oscars now allows for 10 entries, so I can see this expanding to 10. I personally dont think that the DMB and Sheeran belong on the list - but we don't have 10 yet.

So if the Cannes Jury is insisting on these...here's where we are now:

It’s 10 tracks. But fair enough. Email said it’s about 100 copies only.

For the first time on vinyl, both Daytrotter Sessions on randomly colored LP's. EXTREMELY limited.

1. Bookwom
2. My Baby (Shoots Her Mouth Off)
3. Broadripple Is Burning
4. Love Song For A Schubas Bartender
5. I am A Lightning Rod
6. Welcome To Daytrotter
7. A Journalist Falls In Love With Dethrow Inmate #16
8. Will You Love Me Forever?
9. Claws Off
10. New York City hotel Blues

I don't know why this is happening in the pre-order thread but on the flip side, here's one of my favorite covers of the year

(the vinyl is expensive, but I'm most excited about the music!)



Seven years since the release of his ambitious debut double-album Earth and Sky (2016), Musk Ox/The Night Watch guitarist and Agalloch collaborator Nathanael Larochette returns with his second full-length Old Growth, a moving collection of solo acoustic compositions recorded live (often by candlelight) in a woodland cabin on the shores of White Lake, Ontario. Deeply inspired by the acoustic realms of legendary records like Agalloch's The Mantle, Opeth's Morningrise and Ulver's Kveldssanger, Old Growth is a woodland meditation capable of entrancing minimalist folk enthusiasts and metal aficionados alike. To take the project even further, Nathanael Larochette teamed up with Norwegian composer Martin Romberg of Raven Music Editions (Emperor/Ulver/Myrkur) to publish a complete guitar tablature book in hopes of inspiring guitarists to explore the art of fingerpicking. In a world where noise has become synonymous with life, the fragile instrumentals of Old Growth offer a private soundtrack to the quiet truths within, reminding us of our place in this vast forest of existence.

Thank you for posting this. The blurb puts it very much up my alley—solo guitar, Canadian, inspired by Opeth's acoustic passages, and with a companion tab book to boot? I had never heard of him before and put on Earth and Sky last night, and really enjoyed it.
