By now, I think you may have a good idea of my Christmas box for those of you who land here and browse. Hopefully, you will leave and give a few things a listen and what’s more, actually buy something as a gift to yourself and importantly, to keep some musicians heads above the water, so to speak. Every little counts : )
Here is the next instalment of #released2020 and as usual, there is no ranking, no preferences, no order.
Is it only the 14th December? There will be a few of these by the sounds of it.
This is the next collection of 20 releases, and it only covers the days December 8th to 12th twitter posts and I’ve barely scraped the surface of #released2020. It’s been a horrendous year for many but the releases have been eclectic, at times challenging and luckily, numerous.
In case you missed my explanation – Every year on social media and elsewhere, the big sites publish their end of year best of lists and this has always made me feel uncomfortable. On many, they are made up of the big names and labels, not very diverse and often narrow in scope. I also have a thing about the subjectivism of lists and rank. What one person says is great, another can’t see the fuss, often resulting in animosity and division…..Isn’t there enough in the world?
I decided a couple of years ago to try and cover as many of the new releases as possible, given my personal constraints, and have posted them under the moniker of I don’t do lists but this was released….This year I just used the #released2020 on twitter.
As usual, no order, no preferences, no rank, not exhaustive,….It’s easy…

I have always been reluctant to use hashtags, not sure why but after 8 years I think maybe I should join the modern age : D
I have begun to do the #throwback on twitter , an album on Tuesdays and one on Thursdays, no order or prefences, it just has to be released before this year but it is a good way to get more music that might have been missed, a little spotlight. I’m trying to post contrasting releases, so this week is a collection of noise artists and idm –

I have begun to do the #throwback on twitter , an album on Tuesdays and one on Thursdays, no order or prefences, it just has to be released before this year but it is a good way to get more music that might have been missed a little spotlight. Here’s two quite contrasting releases to start –
“I thought it was super cool and really punk, and really futuristic and weird and nerdy,” she says of discovering the chiptune scene. “I just loved everything about the aesthetic.”
“She went platinum by plugging Bach into 20th-century machines, and was soon working with Stanley Kubrick. But prejudice around her gender transition pushed Wendy Carlos out of sight”
“The world is fortunate to have artists like Angélica Negrón who continually expand what is possible in the arts, and thus the human experience.” Read more from Sun Yung Shin on ICIYL!
