Best thing you heard in 2016?

[Text_Edifice]

It's been a bit quiet around here lately so I was thinking - It's the end of the year, what was the best thing you heard this year?

For me it was a couple of albums by a band called Mount Moriah from the states. Simple, straight ahead (well, kinda queer) country rock. Great songwriting.

Gimme some new things to listen to.

Anais Mitchell - Young man in America and also Hadestown
Bowie's Blackstar and Cohen's You want it Darker
Tobias Hengeveld Daylight Express
Sufjan Stevens Zcarrie and Lowell

I really liked Carrie and Lowell too.

But it happened to be the new record I used to test the setup on my new turntable. I spent probably an hour mucking about with the cartridge and tone-arm before I read the 'recorded on an ipad' bit.
