2023 end of year lists

Cm punk is the type of person that would buy a lankum CD

Cheers for this Fuzzsta. I appreciate the CM Punk call out. I feel you really should have named and shamed Lankum but I'm happy to let it go for now.

I've been getting a lot of dms about this but rather than reply to each one individually I thought I'd do a general post here.

My 25th favourite album of the year is up lads.

You know where to look.

I'm as big a JP Insta countdown as anyone, and I certainty take the hierarchy in each list very seriously, but you may have wanted to come out the gate with a bit more of a big hitter. Still, I'll be back tomorrow.



If you know, you know.

I think you're onto something tbh Sam.

The post has been up two hours and so far has 3 likes with one of them being the artist in question.

It's safe to say this isn't my normal levels of engagement.

Drop Dave Rowntree as #24 and break the internet.

Likes are into double figures now. We're rolling baby!

Can smell the AIDS seeping through my screen. You rotter.

dropping a big name in at number 24 today lads.

a few soapbox faces might be surprised at it not making the top 20.

Right, I'm sticking my neck out here. The Coral album is their best since Invisible Invasion. Maybe their best full stop. I can't stop listening to it. As a set of songs, and as a cohesive album it is spot on. And the production on it is tremendous. I don't think sterile at all.
