Yep, this was 2014

Once again I was too lazy to come up with a best of album list this year, dang.  This is not a list of the best tracks of 2014, but rather a list of some of my favorite songs from 2014… The songs are in no particular order, and the list is based on tracks available on Spotify (Yep, this was 2014).

Parkay Quarts – Content Nausea
Perfume Genius – My Body
Metronomy – I'm Aquarius
Dream Police – Hypnotized
Black Lips – Boys In The Wood
I LOVE MAKONNEN – Tuesday (feat. Drake)
Saturday, Monday – Headshake (feat Julia Spada)
Lust For Youth – Illume
Caribou – Can't Do Without You
FKA twigs – Two Weeks
Mr Twin Sister – Out of the Dark
Xeno & Oaklander – Sheen
Ought – Today More Than Any Other Day
Paws – Someone New
Slow Club – The Pieces
September Girls – Left Behind
TV On The Radio – Happy Idiot
Fear of Men – Waterfall
Amen Dunes – Splits Are Parted
The Coathangers – Merry Go Round
Girlpool – Blah Blah Blah
Eagulls – Fester / Blister
Parquet Courts – Sunbathing Animal
Death From Above 1979 – Right On, Frankenstein!
Banks – You Should Know Where I’m Coming From

I should note that Parkay Quarts is not a typo... Though they share the same band members, Parkay Quarts is not the same band as Parquet Court.  Parkay Quarts is listed in Spotify as Parquet Court.  Also, I still don't know why Spotify doesn't contain the latest Ty Segall album Manipulator. It's not my favorite from 2014, but it’s awesome.

My favorite album from 2014 would have to be More Than Any Other Day by Ought.

I don't know why, but More Than Any Other Day is one of those albums that just gets me motivated.

 

BTW, for your animated gif pleasure one of my favorite bands, Future Islands.  They got a lot of press after they were on Letterman.

 

It’s mesmerizing isn't it?  I could watch it for hours.  There album singles was good but not one of their best:
