Best Records of the Year 2020: 1-20

As promised yesterday, it's time to close the list of Best Records of 2020 with our Top 20. In a year of (worldwide) struggles, shortcomings, and forced introspection, music has had a balsamic effect. While listening the albums again in order to draft the list, we have seen sort of a trend (aside from a couple of exceptions and the Blog's trademark love for the Antipodean sounds) in the selection: an eerie, pensive, yet very warm vibe. Makes total sense. These are comforting, enduring songs against the uncertainty. Hope these are shared (or about to be) feelings with you all. So, enjoy the music and Happy 2021!

Best Records of the Year 2020: 40-21

Later than ever, we know... but December (more hospital visits) has been pretty hectic, somewhat fitting this surreal year, finally vanishing. Yet the time has arrived to unveil our Best Records of 2020! Like we did last year, we have maintained the number of 40 for the albums listed, splitting the post in two. The only difference being the inclusion of EPs within the list (as we haven't had a lot of them among our favourites this season). Therefore, here are our mandatory albums, "in charge of" our soundtrack in this excruciating 2020, starting with the LPs ranging from 40 to 21. A stunning harvest despite the times, really deserving a listen! And stay tuned, the Top 20 will be online tomorrow!

38. Horse- Holy Motors

Rainy weekend to put a closure to this intense, crazy and uncertain (a summary of the whole year, honestly) November.

Approaching the end of November... which means being assaulted by annnoying Black Friday ads and all sort of Christmas consumerism... even despite being in the midst of Covid's second wave (humans are the only animals capable of stumbling over the same rock twice, after all). Luckily, the time for an indigestion due too many Christmas tunes hasn't arrived yet, and there's still plenty of good music out there. Like the ten gathered in our latest TOP TEN JUKEBOX, a flamboyant and diverse collection for you to discover. Have a good weekend, and remember to join us at our Soundcloud page!

The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 273

As Nietzsche would say "life without music would be a mistake". And in case someone didn't fully agree, in this year of pandemic, big headaches and collective madness, this statement has completely made sense. Music and creativity have made akwardness and surrealism a little more bearable and understandable (as a matter of fact, it always has) and what a better way to prove it than letting yourself be embraced by the warm vibes of our latest TOP TEN JUKEBOX. Have a good Sunday, and remember to join us at our Soundcloud page!

"Should we talk about the weather? (hi, hi, hi) / Should we talk about the government? (hi, hi, hi, hi)". All-time favourite band always knew what to sung about. But we propose you bring a companion to this long election week, or even take a little break from numbers, rates, and paranoid republicans alongside our latest TOP TEN JUKEBOX. Full of new findings and an overall pensive mood, as the grey skies and introspective times demand. Have a great weekend, and remember to join us at our Soundcloud page!
