Not having it in there should be at the very least a misdemeanour.

1. Adore

It's been seven hours and three thousand six hundred and fifty two days since U took your love away.

My 2024 prediction that we get a Bey-shuggah metal record is still on the cards.

Jessie Ware’s only bloody gone and done it again.

One Nation Under a Groove.

'Bully' sounds to me like what hip-hop must sound like to dogs.

But do (very mid) Scottish band Texas have any songs about their exes?

Well we do need more examples of how not to write a book, I suppose.

The plot of Death Stranding was such utter nonsense I gave up after three or four hours. I don’t blame you.

Well if Todd doesn’t make it, we will (albeit with considerably fewer views and jokes that don’t land as hard).

Rave In2, the remix album, is even better. ‘Beautiful Strange’ is incredible. I think ‘un2’ is okay. Some great tunes but lacks the flow of his better records. Better than Michael Jackson’s ‘Invincible’ though, I’d argue…

If ‘Lovesexy’ is a Trainwreckord, about 80% of released music would qualify!

It’s not horrific. Not his worst - that would be 1998’s ‘New Power Soul’ that he put out as a New Power Generation album. Even that has a couple of bangers though.

If you even think about considering 'Around the World in a Day' as some kind of Trainwreckord I will make a three hour video essay telling you how wrong you are. With pie charts and everything.

"Mine is the opposite of ICE". Ours too, Prince. Ours too.

I choose seppuku.

An incredible game. I wish I could experience my first time with that narrative again. I love 2 and 3 as well but for a multitude of reasons I haven't really enjoyed much of Kojima's output over the last twenty years.

It still boggles my mind that we've got to 2026 without having a serious discussion about how incredible the bassline is in 'Hot Hot Hot' by Arrow (and later covered by Buster Poindexter). When I play that record to people they always just shrug it off as a lame party track but that shit goes hard.

Let’s just hope Satan oversees a more open border policy.

At least it wasn’t ’Exhale (Shoop Shoop)’, I guess.

I hope those two wishes are not related or this has all the makings of one of those 'Darkest Stories From the Internet' videos.

Is it really a record collection if you don’t?

Clearly not seen any of our attempts at music criticism on YouTube then.

This also threatens the existence of the one hit wonder, as now their failed follow-ups may just be this year's summer hit. I hope it's the Cardigans.

Firstly, sorry for the content hiatus. Secondly, AOTY is not happening this year, but don't count us out just yet. Coverage of 2025 is coming in a slightly different format and we'll be returning to an eardrum/retina attached to you in the coming weeks.

Golden Excuses Pump

Manic.

Sorry to ruin the festive period but we’re going to be making videos again real soon.

Remake. Rebirth. Revive?
