Ain't gonna lie... I was just about to get on the ol' soapbox to once again bemoan the current state of music (and you know shit's gone real wrong when the word "bemoan" gets trotted out) - but eff me if things didn't get hopeful once we turned the corner on summer. Suddenly there was a growing multitude of worthy releases to cram onto this mix, many of which I could envision making the Best Of The Year list. And, of course, there's still more coming, including anticipated albums by the Fleshtones, the Linda Lindas, Japandroids, Kim Deal, and Amyl & the Sniffers. So I guess my bemoaning will just have to bewait, because this Fall seems like it's gonna be rockin'.
