#15 JohnErle - Valerie Junetinelli - The hobbitses stole the clockses. Anyway, liked the horns, not so much the twangy vocals. Leestu - Black Midi - Gave me a headache. Thanks for that. This was like the opening number for a Broadway show that closed the week before it opened. Six - The Council Ratc...

Italian film actress Gina Lollobrigida, once hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world, passed today at the age of 95.

SONG #15 JOHNERLE Valerie June, Use Me My only beef with this song is that the opening verse had a chance to rhyme boxes with clockses and wasted the opportunity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lR3cY5sOQ8 LEESTU Black Midi, 27 Questions My favourite from the album…as well as the great music I love...

#16 JohnErle - Utensil - I listened to this album, and quite liked it. One made my Top 100 (watch my FB wall for that), and "My Babe" nearly did. This one was just ok for me. Leestu - The People's Courting - Not for me. Six - Grey Poupon - This was very good. Excellent, even. But yeah, the name suck...

SONG #16 JOHNERLE Spoon, Held I was never a huge fan of Spoon, but somehow they sound less pretentious and more infectious on this scorching album opener. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E02Afe_G8G4 LEESTU Courting, Loaded An exciting up and coming band that I’m hoping for good things from. http://w...

#17 JohnErle - Génie du parfum - Your soap-bubble comparison hit the nail on the head. This may be my favorite of yours. I've liked quite a bit, actually, which makes me sad that you'll only enjoy 0.5 of the 30 songs I list. :) Leestu - Ingleesh Teacher - This is definitely your jam. It brushes agai...

SONG #17 JOHNERLE Perfume Genius, Pop Song I love the delicate fragility of this song. It floats in the air like a soap bubble, and if you listen too hard it just might break. I suppose its status as a 2022 song is debatable, but it was released as a single last year so that's good enough for me. h...

JohnErle - Yard Act - Wanted to like this. Couldn't quite get there.

Leestu - MCR - not an MCR fan, but I quite liked this.

Six - Simon's Daughter? - Woozy is right.

Tranny - Jack Stripeless - This was cool. Right in Jack's lane.

SONG #18 JOHNERLE Yard Act, Tall Poppies The album starts well and ends well, but there's often a moment in their songs where the singer comes off as a bit too smug and judgmental for my tastes. This song is the band's most empathetic, and also my favourite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sEZX05Df...

#19. JohnErle - Ctrl-Alt-J - This guy does have a song on my Top 100, but not this one. I'm not a fan of this one. Leestu - Colonists of Kandahar - I remember "Debonair" from the 90s, but other than that, I couldn't name any other song by then. I doubt I'll remember this one either. Six - Where Have...

Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis and formerly married to both Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage, passed today at the age of 54.

SONG #19 JOHNERLE Alt-J, I'm Happier When You're Gone This is an Alt-Jam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWjYyBUjcrI LEESTU The Afghan Whigs, I’ll Make You See God The Afghan Whigs come close to their previous highs with this banger that surprised me with how good it is. The stoner rock groove, the...

#20 JohnErle - Adia, I Do Believe You've Failed Me - JK. I kinda liked this, but I'm not sure why. Leestu - Sprints Wireless - Quite liked this as well. Huh. Six - Wu-Lu not HBO - Not for me. Tranny - A Gravyhen - I just can't get over how much he looks (and sounds) like Dave Grohl. Which makes me l...

Guitar legend Jeff Beck passed on January 10 at the age of 78. The cause of death was bacterial meningitis.

SONG #20 JOHNERLE Adia Victoria, Ain't Killed Me Yet I discovered Adia Victoria a few weeks too late for her to make last year's list, but when she dropped a new single in March that gave me plenty of time to include her this time around. Ain't Killed Me Yet maintains the Southern Gothic sound of h...
