Yes, I’ve been absent again. 2 years since my last post. Sorry about that. I did actually put together a “Burgo’s Top Albums of 2022” with all the intent of posting here last year, but life got in the way. If you’re interested in what made the cut, you can still find the playlist on […]
Oh. Hi. Yep, it’s been four years since I last posted here. Man, that’s sad. Anyway, here’s a “Best Albums of 2021” post. 21 albums for 2021. 21. Luca Brasi – Everything is Tenuous Dependable melodic-punk, for when your inner 16-year-old needs to come out, and remind yourself that you’re not dead yet, dammit. I […]
Well yes, here I am. I know, it’s been a while. In fact, it turns out last year was the first year since this blog’s founding that I didn’t do a “Best Albums of the Year” post, and – even though I haven’t posted on this blog at all since my “Best of 2015” post […]

So it’s Saturday, 3 January 2015 today, and I’ve just realised that 2014 was the first year since 2008 that I didn’t post a “best of the year” post. That kind of talks to how much I get to write on this blog these days (sorry about that), but I really didn’t want to break […]
So, unlike my top albums post, I’ll be posting this without commentary. Below, in no particular order, are my favourite tunes of 2013: CHVRCHES – We Sink Atlas Genius – Trojans Bastille – Flaws Daft Punk – Get Lucky Cloud Control – Scar Peace – Lovesick Noah And The Whale – There Will Come A […]
2014 was probably the “smoothest” year I can remember in music for quite some time. By that, I mean it was the year where polished pop music finally became cool again, and was totally embraced by the indie kids. That’s definitely reflected in my choices below; it’s by far the most “pop-driven” list of any […]
Hi kids. This is an excerpt of a post I contributed to Masey, listing my top 5 albums of 2012. I’d encourage you to also click through and check out the other contributers’ selections, as there was definitely a diverse bunch. *** 1. THROUGH THE DEEP DARK VALLEY – THE OH HELLOS I have […]
