That whole album is REALLY good. One of the ones I discovered in the Stereogum comment section.

APC - So Long and Thanks for All The Fish

I just love the tone of the song and the imagery for what the song is actually saying. Also, a Hitchhiker's Guide reference is the icing on the cake.

Bravissimo, hip hip hooray
What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away
Under the mushroom cloud confetti

Hip hip hooray for this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

Hip hip hooray
Hip hip hooray
Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin like
Marilyn Monroe in an afterwind

Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps flags and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom, Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call in all its atomic pageantry

Man were you right. I started listening to the rest, and I'll probably end up buying the album, which is something I haven't done in many, many years.

Love Is A Wild Thing and Happy & Sad - Kacey Musgraves. This is my favorite album this year. It is a tremendous pop record.
Cheers - Anderson Paak
Mac Miller - What's the Use?
Father John Misty - Just Dumb Enough to Try

There are a few others. Overall this year is very weak compared to last year. 2017 I easily had a top 25 album of the year list, even ended up with 5 honorable mentions. I am struggling to find 10 I really enjoyed this year.

I've started to take a shine to Taylor Swift. Love "Delicate", and "Gorgeous". Lightweight, but nevertheless pop perfection.

Jay Rock - Win
Chance the Rapper - I Might Need Security
John Mayer - New Light

2018 was a down year for my music listening. Podcasts took over for long drives.

I completely agree. I don't want this to be the case, though. So I"m on a mission to cram some new shite.

No doubt. Spotify generated a coupled playlists that look and a bunch of stuff I've never heard of, so I'll dive in to that for the holiday drive home.
