//主播 Ricky Dylan Vic //题图 Vic (Inspired by cover art from Diamond Jubilee by Cindy Lee) //文案 Ricky Hi大家好，2024（农历）的最后一天，我们终于把这期节目发出来了！作为离谱的年货节目，这期我们请到了嘉宾Vic，和我们一起聊聊2024年发行的给我们留下深刻印象的新专辑。 2024又是耳朵非常忙碌的一年，整个音乐圈也发生了许多值得刻下印记的事件，比如The Cure的新专，Oasis Gallagher两兄弟的甜蜜复婚，劳模Thom Yorke的The Smile一年两专，突然一下被Charlie XCX的荧光绿刷屏朋友圈和乐评图文，71岁的Kim Gordon的The Collective，以及椎名林檎并不炒冷饭的新专辑等等，在为老艺术家们的新生命力感叹的同时，我们也同样被一批新的涌现的年轻音乐人们的创作而感到惊喜，正如题图中写的Albums of 2024，我们想抛开榜单的影响，不评论好坏，真正聊聊我们听到的，喜欢的，以及这些声音是如何打动了我们。 因为主播们聊天内容过于充实，这期我们打算做上下集节目。在上期节目中，我们会聊到Cindy Lee是如何用32首歌来将听众带入时空的虫洞，在人类文明湮灭的废墟之上通过声音来追忆缅怀一个说不清楚的过去，其实在追忆什么也变得不重要，如果你有刚好两个小时时间，那么非常推荐把耳朵交给这张专辑，从充满毛刺，失真，层层叠叠，拖沓的器乐以及人声中，去到一个无人之境；会聊到即兴爵士艺术家Wendy Eisenberg的声音如何陪伴Dylan度过了英国乏味单调甚至阴沉沉的盘山公路drive；聊到我们的好朋友Geordie Greep在离开black midi之后如何乖张不减，但又把自己华丽，戏谑，讽刺的音乐表达方式再次推到一个新的边界，由曲目中让人应接不暇，应付不过来的一波又一波高潮，不断的输出，不断的表达，精妙的刻画出的超雄男角色，粗鲁，自大的表面下，也有矛盾和脆弱的内核，在他不经意间神来之笔的歌词写作加持下，描绘出一幕又一幕戏剧场景；以及在Vic的分享下，开始能够欣赏并且迷上Charlie在brat这张专辑中的表达和情绪，通过对比Everything is Romantic原版以及和Caroline Polachek合作版本的词曲，会发现不同perspective下对于生活会有新的理解，由此更加欣赏Charlie在这张专辑制作过程中的真诚和用心；最后聊到另一位天才怪咖Tyler, the Creator今年的Chromakopia以及不断第三次返场离谱电台的Mannequin Pussy的I Got Heaven。 希望2024年对于各位来说是耳朵收获满满的一年，也希望有音乐陪各位跨过之后每一个时间的刻度。2025见！ //Songs Intro: Kingdom come - Cindy Lee 13:49 Kingdom come - Cindy Lee 27:58 If You Hear Me Crying - Cindy Lee 33:14 Two Times Water - Wendy Eisenberg 40:58 In The Pines - Wendy Eisenberg 46:42 The Magician - Geordie Greep 54:33 Holy, Holy - Geordie Greep 58:35 27 Questions - black midi 1:03:07 The Magician - Geordie Greep (cont.) 1:18:35 Girl So Confusing - Charlie XCX 1:23:19 Everything is Romantic - Charlie XCX 1:25:30 Everything is Romantic featuring Caroline Polachek - Charlie XCX 1:36:43 Noid - Tyler, The Creator 1:45:10 Loud Bark - Mannequin Pussy Outro: Endsong - The Cure //Albums Diamond Jubilee - Cindy Lee View Finder - Wendy Eisenberg The New Sound - Geordie Greep BRAT - Charlie XCX Brat and it's completely different but also still brat - Charlie XCX Chromakopia - Tyler, The Creator I Got Heaven - Mannequin Pussy 欢迎大家微信搜索LIPU_RickyBradDylan，添加离谱小助手进入我们的听众群~

On this final episode of 2024, Trevor and Shane each select 5 albums and together compile their top 10 albums of the year. The ground rules were simple and were the same this year as prior years: 1. They couldn't select an album from 2024 that already had a "deep dive" episode. 2. They wouldn't be ranking their top 5 or the final top 10 in any particular order 3. They couldn't both select the same album. Finally, at the end of the episode, Shane and Trevor each announce their #1 album of the year, information they have not previously shared with one another until this moment recording. With these self-imposed rules in place, Trevor and Shane took turns sharing their picks for the year one by one. The list is as follows: Trevor: The Cure - Songs Of A Lost World, Pedro the Lion - Santa Cruz, Grandaddy - Blu Wave, Orville Peck - Stampede, Royel Otis - Pratts & Pain Shane: MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks, Khruangbin - A LA SALA, The Felice Brothers - Valley of Abandoned Songs, Sierra Farrell - Trail of Flowers, Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us Did your favorite album make our list?

75:The Metal Maniacs Podcast-Top 10 Metal Albums of the Year 2024 In this landmark 75th episode of *The Metal Maniacs Presents: The Last Week on Earth*, hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd break down their **Top 10 Metal Albums of 2024**, celebrating a year packed with innovation, brutality, and unforgettable music. With so many incredible releases, narrowing the list wasn't easy, but they've curated a lineup that showcases the very best the metal world has to offer. From progressive technicality to unrelenting deathcore, melodic passages to crushing breakdowns, this episode is a full-spectrum celebration of what made 2024 an exceptional year for heavy music.

  These end-of-the-year lists are usually labeled "Best Albums of the Year" - Best Ambient, Best Jazz, Best Indie, etc. I have been doing that for years. It has been pointed out that calling a list the "Best of the Year" is not only a bit snobby, it's also a little ridiculous because there is so much ambient music released every week that it's impossible to keep up. Plus this list is just my opinion, how can it possibly qualify as the "best"? With that in mind I was moving towards labeling these as my favorite albums of the year. In this case I called it "2023 Rewind" simply because I found a cool stock photo for the cover art. Anyway, on to the mix. These lists and mixes are tough to compile. It's so easy for even good albums to get lost in the shuffle. The ones that definitely did not get lost are my top 5 albums: Crows Labyrinth - Neon Scenes I - Granular Dreams Brendan Eder Ensemble - Therapy Eli Keszler - LIVE [LuckyMe] The Green Kingdom - Ether Hymns [Dronarivm] Rod Modell & Taka Noda - Glow World [13] I probably listened to that Crows Labyrinth album more than any other ambient album this year. It had the advantage of being used as a sleep album...a lot. The album has a great Blade Runner vibe that is retro yet fresh. I love it.    The Brendan Eder Ensemble was a new discovery for me. He self described his music as “meditative woodwind arrangements." That would have been enough to get my attention but then toss in a few Aphex Twin covers and I was hooked.   Eli Keszler has shown up on my lists before but this one is my fav. It is all live percussion, some sparse, some frantic but somehow it all feels ambient. Even when there's a lot going on it feels like it fits more in the ambient genre than jazz. So good.   Michael Cottone has been creating music as The Green Kingdom for a long time. I can always count on him for good quality ambient tracks. "Ether Hymns" is light and beautiful without ever being syrupy or overdone. It sets a perfect tone.   "Glow World" from Rod Modell & Taka Noda is pretty much what you would expect from Modell. Lots of synth washes with some buried bass lines and rhythms. It may be nothing new but it's done so well that the atmospheres suck you right in.    Here's the full list of my favorite ambient albums of 2023 in alphabetical order:   Alex Albrecht - Violet Visionary [ASIP] Alva Noto - Kinder der Sonne (From Komplizen) [Noton] ARROWOUNDS - In The Octopus Pond [Lost Tribe Sound] Bill Seaman, Tim Diagram, Stephen Spera - The World Was Turning Before [Laaps] Brendan Eder Ensemble - Therapy [2023] Claire Deak - Sotto Voce [Lost Tribe Sound 2023] Courtney Barnett - End Of The Day OST [Milk Records] Crows Labyrinth - Neon Scenes I - Granular Dreams Crows Labyrinth- Pulse Mandala - Astral Solstice [Valley View Records] cv313 - Plays Sequential Space [2023] Drawing Virtual Gardens - 22-22 [Lost Tribe Sound] Eli Keszler - LIVE [LuckyMe] Foreign Body Sensation & Justin Maranga - Subterranean Environments [Dune Alter] Hainbach - Voice Magnetic [Seil] Loneward - Willoweald [Stereoscenic] Michael Scott Dawson - Find Yourself Lost [We Are Busy Bodies] Mount Shrine - Lost Loops Collection [Cryo Chamber] Nico Less - Still North Americans - Long Cool World [Third Man Records] Pan American - in daylight dub [Foam On A Wave] Prins Emanuel - Diagonal Musik II [Music for Dreams] PURELINK - Signs [Peak Oil] Rod Modell & Taka Noda - Glow World [13] Saphileaum - Intrapersonal Experience [Good Morning Tapes] Sigur Rós - ÁTTA [Krúnk] Snufmumriko - Havstrakt [Sun Sea Sky Productions] Tapani Rinne - Grey [Signature Dark] The Green Kingdom - Ether Hymns [Dronarivm] Toki Fuko - Spirit Medicine [Astral Industries] William Ryan Fritch - Cohesion [Lost Tribe Sound]   Links to each album:   https://astrangelyisolatedplace.bandcamp.com/album/violet-visionary https://noton.info/product/n-058/ https://arrowounds.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-octopus-pond https://laaps.bandcamp.com/album/the-world-was-turning-before https://brendaneder.bandcamp.com/album/therapy https://clairedeak.bandcamp.com/album/sotto-voce https://courtneybarnett.bandcamp.com/album/end-of-the-day-music-from-the-film-anonymous-club https://crowslabyrinth.bandcamp.com/album/neon-scenes-i-granular-dreams https://valleyviewrecords.bandcamp.com/album/astral-solstice https://cv313.bandcamp.com/album/plays-sequential-space https://drawingvirtualgardens.bandcamp.com/album/22-22 https://elikeszler.bandcamp.com/album/live https://foreignbodysensation.bandcamp.com/album/subterranean-environments https://hainbach.bandcamp.com/album/voice-magnetic https://altusmusic.bandcamp.com/album/willoweald https://michaelscottdawson.bandcamp.com/album/find-yourself-lost https://nicoless.bandcamp.com/album/still https://northamericanszone.bandcamp.com/album/long-cool-world https://foamonawave.bandcamp.com/album/in-daylight-dub https://prinsemanuel.bandcamp.com/album/diagonal-musik-ii https://purelink.bandcamp.com/album/signs http://13.silentes.it/private_sounds/sps2360.htm https://saphileaum.bandcamp.com/album/saphileaum-intrapersonal-experience https://sigurros.bandcamp.com/album/tta https://snufmumriko.bandcamp.com/album/havstrakt https://signaturedarklabel.bandcamp.com/album/grey https://dronarivm.bandcamp.com/album/ether-hymns https://astralindustries.bandcamp.com/album/ai-34-spirit-medicine https://williamryanfritch.bandcamp.com/album/cohesion   I am pretty proud of my self that I managed to squeeze in all 30 albums into this one 2-hour mix.
