The kids will never know the joy of collecting the European import with the exclusive DJ House remixes, the Australian imports with the limited edition b-sides, and if you were really a fan with some extra money, the Japanese import with the acapella and instrumentals. Usually from Inglewood music or Tower records.

"Anyone who follows #Jewish #music knows the outline of #Lipa’s story: With his gifted voice, talent for composition and signature showmanship, he had lightning success within the Jewish music world, churning out over a dozen #albums in as many years, electrifying the crowd at whatever venue he performed with his immutable energy and relatable #lyrics. And then, he dropped out of the public eye, clearly going through some sort of personal searching and life transition.

A few years ago, he reemerged, releasing several hit albums and singles, and once again taking his place on the list of most sought-after performers. The new material was both a return to some of the good old Lipa, yet layered with the depth and musical genius of an ultra-talented composer who had gone through his own journey."

Laufey – Typical of Me
Just a bit more than a week after falling in love with "Bewitched," I was back down the hill at Forever Changes for this little gem, "Typical of Me." This is an EP from 2021, essentially a self-created work – and yet, nothing about it sounds like a debut. This is someone who very much knows what she's doing. Listen, she's got me listening to something that could well be jazz.

Fun fact: I have never purchased an album with a dog in the cover photo and been disappointed with the music. Now I wonder if the same holds true for cats or horses or birds or elephants. More research is needed. Which ones am I missing? #music #albums #dogsofmastodon

"Like every year, 2024 was a great year for music, for anyone willing to look and listen. There are more people releasing more music than ever before, and I could feel despair over the fact that I’ll never have the time to hear all the incredible music that I might love. But I think it’s a good problem to have. I’m exposed to so much magic so frequently that I have to share the best of it just to keep track. That’s why I’m here, and why I’m always posting on twitter and now bluesky too. Algorithms have been nice for finding stuff that’s similar to what you already like, but lately they seem as broken as everything else that seemed so futuristically convenient a decade ago. All these services we’ve begun to rely on have eroded, often in line with mass layoffs at the companies that provide them. The human element is leaking entirely out of the corporate music infrastructure. So I think it’s more important than ever that regular people who are tuned in spread the word about the best new (and old) music they encounter.

So, here I am with the annual big album list. I couldn’t settle on just fifty again, or even sixty, so I’m dropping eighty great albums made in 2024 that I think you should really hear. Twenty of them are singled out at the end as the best of the best – especially masterful, poignant, mindbending pieces of music that touched me deeper than anything else I heard this year. Every album is listed with its record label and a link to check it out."
