06.29.16 | Also it's my birthday tomorrow woop woop. Rec like the wind and have a nice day! | hal1ax
06.29.16 | Nice man, I need to scope 15
And happy birf | wtferrothorn
06.29.16 | yeah man, def check it out if you need some major '80s jamz | LotusFlower
06.29.16 | This is a good list | wtferrothorn
06.30.16 | thanks m8 | LotusFlower
06.30.16 | CSH is my favorite of the year | wtferrothorn
06.30.16 | You really do, it's amazing. | Halfman
06.30.16 | Two Men Down is so fucking good. | Pangea
06.30.16 | Very nice top 5 | iloveyouall
06.30.16 | hb ferro.
i found 14 pretty boring tbh, and most of this list is shit i wouldn't listen to, so...
that aside, i should probably check 13. good stuff bucko. :))) | wtferrothorn
06.30.16 | Thanks sach! Of all the album I've listened to from this year, 14 has definitely got me grooving the most, so it does that for me. It's more of a recent discovery, so it might fall out of my rotation, but I found it to be pretty fun.
Surprised you picked 13 out of all of these as the one you'd check, but I'd definitely say it's really underrated and worth checking. | iloveyouall
06.30.16 | I might check 7 as well, but I tend to like my garage rock to be more noise rock oriented (emphasis on noise: see the homopolice, brainbombs, that sorta shitttt) than psych rock oriented.
if you like 14 tho, for sure check out new project pablo. closer is my SOTY tbh. | wtferrothorn
06.30.16 | I'll make sure to give it a check! |
