Pending – need to listen: James Vincent McMorrow, Pixies.

The Radiohead didn't connect with me AT ALL and I ADORED ANOHNI's "4 Degrees", but rest of the album wasn't as good. Not a bad album per se, but my expectations were much higher.

I have over 30 albums on my list of favourite albums of 2016 that I'm submitting to our radio station, so most of the "honourable mentions" are rather disappointing I'd say. The disappointing ones, in no particular order: Shura, Jenny Hval, Metronomy, Mitski, Beth Orton, Garbage, Radiohead, I Monster, Ólafur Arnalds, James Blake, ANOHNI, PJ Harvey, Lera Lynn, Karen Ann, Azealia Banks, Fatima al Qadiri, M.I.A, Suede, Regina Spector and Devendra Banhart.

About to comply my list to our internet station; over 30 albums so far. Gonna have a lot of honourable mentions. There are a few albums that are not out yet.

Then it's better to actually listen to Umm Kulthum, not to Sarit Hadad doing Umm Kulthum. Blech!

שרמוטה Such a beautiful word. Anyway, some actual good shit - these guys and girls are everything; they're doing hip hop in Hebrew, Arabic, English and Russian: https://systemali.bandcamp.com/releases

Wasn't really into his previous stuff, but this is nice. Love this, can't wait for the album: Also, loved the latest Balkan Beat Box album.

CUZ it is! RANK

Your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn Dance me to the end of love UGHH

I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed, I'm back on Boogie Street.
