I'm not very good at keeping up with new music, so the bulk of the records from 2015 that I listened to were by musicians whom I already enjoyed. So, in no particular order...
Jason Isbell- Something More Than Free
John Moreland- High on Tulsa Heat
Lucero- All a Man Should Do
Desapercidos- Payola
Florence and the Machine- How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
Joey Kneiser- The Wildness
Chvrches- Every Open Eye
Beach Slang - The Things We Do to Find People Who Feel Like Us
Deafheaven- New Bermuda
-
Eat at Portillo's
-
Some of these lists, man.
Yeah, some of 'em are just making me feel like a grumpy old man
-
This is hard: hmmm
Queensryche - Operation Live Crime
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Prince - Purple Rain (though there are better songs on other albums, i love every damn song on this one)
Cro Mags - Age of Quarrel
Boston - s/t
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
At The Drive In - Relationship of Command
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night
Bruce Springsteen - Greetings from Asbury Park
This is one solid ass list!

Watched an awesome flick tonight with my wife called We Are Still Here...took a little bit to get going but once it did it was creepy...
I loved We Are Still Here; definitely a slow burn in the vein of 80s horror with a killer soundtrack to boot.
Guys, what's good lately? Stoked for Krampus! Watched Bone Tomahawk this week. It's kind of horror-ish, but not for this thread. Great acting, gnarly effects and gore, but definitely could have used an editor. Worth a watch, IMO.
Anyone see House On Pine Street or Tales of Halloween? I'm not sure they're out yet, but they seem promising. Not as promisimg as The Witch, but still.
I brought up Bone Tomahawk a couple of weeks ago after watching it and absolutely loving it. I didn't notice any editing issues, but maybe I wasn't paying enough attention

I also had those Vanilla Ice and Kris Kross tapes, and my brother had the TMNT tape (which I most likely still have memorized to this day).
You, my friend, had stellar taste in music
-
Against Me! - they played the same night Mad Caddies played in CT and I decided to stay at home and now I regret that I didn't see either band.
I was stoked as all hell to get to open for them, right after Axl Rose was released...until everyone in the band, except the drummer old drummer, turned out to be a huge jerk. I still listen to them regularly, but a 20 year old me was heartbroken back then.

Literally the movie I was trying not to mention by name.
That movie is loathsome and I hate that there's a (mostly) fantastic Willem Dafoe performance trapped in it.
I loved this movie upon its initial release and rise to cult status; but, upon reviewing it, I realized how poorly shot and edited this thing was. There are some great scenes/acting/dialogue throughout that was ruined by terrible framing and editing.

Everyone's got me feeling old here. The first 5 that were given to me as gifts...
Vanilla Ice- To the Extreme
Kris Kross- Totally Krossed Out
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- Coming out of Our Shells
Vanilla Ice- Extremely Live
Snow- 12 Inches of Snow
Like most small town children of the early 90s, I was pretty damn into Vanilla Ice and all things Turtles. After getting more into music, the first 5 cassettes I bought on my own accord were...
Green Day- Dookie
Bush- Sixteen Stone
Nirvana- Nevermind
Offspring- Smash
Metallica- Metallica

This is awful and I'm so sorry, so very sorry, Cesar. I would absolutely love to donate something or even buy something; however, I am extremely broke due to the holidays and only one income coming in at the moment. I know it won't help much, and I assure you that it isn't a plea for self promotion, but if anyone purchases my record via Bandcamp, Iwill donate all of the earnings to Cesar and his family. So if anyone was considering buying it in the past, it will go to a good cause. Again, not in the interest of self promotion, I just wish more than anything that I could help more.
My heart and thoughts go out to you and your family, Cesar.

Saves the Day- unfortunately, I'll never see 'my' Saves the Day. Through Being Cool, Can't Slow Down, and Stay What You Are are three of my favorite records ever and were pivotal in shaping me into the person I am today. It's that subsequent lineup that I wish that I could go back in time to see
-
I just listened to those two songs and I loved both of those poorly filmed tracks. Steve McQueen is gorgeous and Fallon's already showing how much he's grown as a songwriter/lyricist. I'll always be extremely biased when it comes to Fallon and I love sad bastard acoustic songs, so this is right up my alley.

white boxes like the ones you'd find from bags unlimited or amazon or whatever. when i moved to DC from Kansas, I had to use about 8 or 9 of those boxes, it sucked, they were heavy and I worried about them along the way since it was summer, but they're not awful to carry and they stack pretty well and make for good storage containers when you're all moved in

Just want to say that I've been reading a ton of Shakespeare and it sucks
Agreed. I understand that he was responsible for creating a great deal of tropes commonly found in the pop culture that I love, and I respect the hell out of that, but I just can't get on board with ol' Shakespeare.

Animal Farm
The Road

In Cold Blood

Finished recording, just need to mix and master, but my 59 Sound cover is almost done

Yes, especially since he just had his bye

Joint Custody is the only shop I care about in DC

Every week I tell myself that Lynch is actually a good running back and refuse to drop his ass and every week I'm left disappointed. Now he's out again and I've got his damn handcuff on my team and didn't play him. I'm done with fantasy football and I'm taking up knitting
-
It's pretty terrific. I'm on that Rainer Maria marathon still. To Ronnie - I have never heard The Anniversary album so I'll give it a go.
Oh, you are most definitely in for a treat, my friend. Do yourself a favor and look up the song "All Things Ordinary," you will not regret it.

Why everyone hate American Slang so much?
Because Alex sounds like a bored guitar player, noodling over every damn second of the record. Seriously, dude needs to learn that less is more sometimes.
