06.24.17 | the new list interface is much nicer than I expected | BlushfulHippocrene
06.24.17 | Wonderful list with the loveliest descriptions--favourite is 11, most apt is 17. Have to check 22, and Rocket still needs a review. | FullOfSounds
06.24.17 | I need to get on 9 | hal1ax
06.24.17 | love your descriptions, especially 14.

06.24.17 | i feel like there may be a feeww things at least that you dig on 18 hal
also great list! lotsa my favs | hal1ax
06.24.17 | alright i'll check for sure. seems like it's getting some pretty stellar reception around here | BlushfulHippocrene
06.24.17 | 18 wore off me quick, but it's pretty eclectic, and the energy at times is super engaging. | theBoneyKing
06.25.17 | Cool | luci
06.25.17 | thanks for the kind words. you'll enjoy 22 Blush, it's well matched to your taste
re brockhampton: i've only had the mixtape for a few days so I'm still on an initial high, but i dig the camaraderie of the group and especially like the relaxed back end (swim rules). kendrick, shabazz and vince were also stellar this year but didn't make the cut | verdant
06.25.17 | beautiful descriptions lucid | Relinquished
06.25.17 | checking 7, whities is a good series | luci
06.25.17 | ^first release I heard by them, def gonna explore more. which ones are worth a try? | Conmaniac
06.25.17 | really cool list love the descriptions too | luci
06.25.17 | thanks all! rocket will be the sleeper hit of the year, like how it's spreading on the site by word-of-mouth. played it a ton and still fresh as ever | dbizzles
06.25.17 | I've only heard a couple of these. Brockhampton made me miss Odd Future. | Chortles
06.25.17 | excellent excellent. 9 looks really cool | runaways
06.26.17 | 19 doesn't get enough love | Chortles
06.26.17 | also, the new laurel halo album is incredibly good if you haven't heard it

06.27.17 | Very nice - looks like I need to check 7. Also gotta re-jam that Kettenkarussell | luci
06.27.17 | ^yes to both those things. i like seeing the yotimi stamp of approval
@plane: love that we're so aligned lately, anything here could be to your liking. you're the best
@chortles: dust keeps growing on me, couldn't decide where to slot it. "sun to solar" is the first thing I want to hear every morning
@xeno: def get the hate on 5. wish the album didn't exist most days. up for any atmospheric metal recs, i'm a softie
| klap
