+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+it's the year-end review
+of albums I listened to.
+same as last year,
+I added any albums I got into
+this year to a playlist.
+I've actually done that
+every year since 2018.
+maybe I'll review
+those old playlists some time.
+.
+.Ss ZHAOZE \(em SUMMER INSECTS TALK ABOUT ICE (2021)
+it's a five-and-a-half-minute album!
+you can loop it however long you want.
+it's really lovely.
+.Pp
+favourite track:
+ON HORSEBACK, TO FARAWAY
+.
+.Ss KATE BUSH \(em HOUNDS OF LOVE (1985)
+first of all I do not watch that one show.
+I've known that track for a while actually.
+I mean I probably first heard the CHROMATICS cover.
+but anyway,
+I think someone mentioned this album
+on IRC at just the right time
+and I put it on.
+the second half really shines tbh.
+love a concept album.
+.Pp
+favourite tracks:
+RUNNING UP THAT HILL,
+HOUNDS OF LOVE,
+AND DREAM OF SHEEP,
+WATCHING YOU WITHOUT ME,
+THE MORNING FOG.
+.
+.Ss GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR \(em ALL LIGHTS FUCKED ON THE HAIRY AMP DROOLING (1994)
+didn't expect to hear this probably ever.
+still wild that it finally got uploaded.
+and to be honest I'm a little mad
+that it's actually good.
+like yeah it's not a godspeed album
+but it holds up as a tape on its own.
+it's the kind of shit I listen to.
+also can't believe some people
+still thought it was fake.
+like have you not heard
+any other efrim menuck projects?
+.Pp
+favourite tracks:
+$13.13,
+DIMINISHING SHINE,
+DADMOMDADDY,
+333 FRAMES PER SECOND,
+ALL ANGELS GONE.
+.
+.Ss BLACK DRESSES \(em FORGET YOUR OWN FACE (2022)
+woops I think I only listened to this like twice.
+will need to revisit it later for sure.
+I'll like it.
+.
+.Ss BACKXWASH \(em I LIE HERE BURIED WITH MY RINGS AND MY DRESSES (2021)
+only got into this album
+after hearing it live this summer.
+was the first show I went to in years
+and it was really fucking good.
+gotta listen to this shit loud.
+sampling godspeed for a beat fucks.
+honestly back to back bangers.

+TERROR PACKETS,
+SONG OF SINNERS,
+BURN TO ASHES.
+.
+.Ss PHILIP GLASS ENSEMBLE \(em EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH (1979)
+actually just the knee plays
+because I can't be bothered
+listening to all of it.
+and I'm embarrassed by how much
+I enjoy this avant-garde bullshit.
+like ok just sing repeating numbers at me
+and my brain is happy.
+what is this?
+my kink?
+anyway I also have kind of an obsession
+with the
+.Dq story of love
+in knee 5.
+I fucking hate it.
+but it's delivered so well.
+and that violin though!
+.Pp
+favourite tracks:
+KNEE 1,
+KNEE 5.
+.
+.Ss KANYE WEST \(em YEEZUS (2013)
+ok look I listened to this
+before recent events.
+what the fuck.
+it's a really good album though?
+pretty sure I listened to it
+because bound 2 kept getting in my head,
+because of that minecraft parody parody
+wayne did ages ago.
+.Pp
+favourite tracks:
+BLACK SKINHEAD,
+HOLD MY LIQUOR,
+BLOOD ON THE LEAVES,
+BOUND 2.
+.
+.Ss FLYING RACCOON SUIT \(em AFTERGLOW (2021)
+I've listened to the whole album
+a few times
+but I'm mostly just here
+for the title track.
+this also happened to be
+dropped in IRC at just the right time.
+good ska-punk-type shit.
+and I like lisps ok.
+.Pp
+favourite track:
+AFTERGLOW.
+.
+.Ss RAMSHACKLE GLORY \(em LIVE THE DREAM (2011)
+one of those albums
+I don't know why I took so long
+to get to.

+a pleasant surprise in someone's playlist.
+lately I've been listening to this
+in the metro to or from electrolysis.
+it's good listening for that.
+bold to have two versions
+of the same 24-minute song
+on the same release.

+THE LAST ONE_1970 (ver.2).
