I'm back because of a tweet from a friend about dull baby boomer music he used to pretend to like. I was like that too. Now I never want to hear The Beatles ever again.

The Peep Tempel - Tales: This would probably have been one of my favourites of the year if I'd discovered it earlier. I guess it's not too late.

Halfway: Friend on facebook got tagged in some statuses about going to a Robert Forster gig. She got a setlist from the supporting band. I looked them up on Spotify. A concept album about railway workers in central Queensland? This is what I live for. Dulcify is my song of the year even though I don't understand 80% of the lyrics.

Jen Cloher ft. Tim Rogers - Stone Age Brain: This has been in my 2014 playlist for ages but I've only just noticed it properly.

Augie March: The video for Definitive History is my aesthetic. It actually makes me want to visit Melbourne. The song itself has some great lines. Make abominable children, vicious little animals / Reared up like pit bull dogs / By the ordinary Australians… 

Taylor Swift: Had to check this out after I noticed that The Quietus gave it a good review. It's pretty good for a mainstream release, but I didn't love  it. Wildest Dreams is like an improved version of LDR's Without You.

Lists: Looking at a bunch of  "best of 2014" lists and I'm unfamiliar with 80% of the stuff mentioned. I still don't like the St Vincent album. Friend and I were into FKA twigs for about a week, but it didn't seem to leave an impression. Not my scene I guess, like how we walked around the CBD for hours looking for a bar that wasn't too white and old for us. I'm too young for Double J, dammit.
