My Favorite Records of 2022

My Favorite Records of 2020

I got into SO MANY records this year. I had much more of a drive than usual to search for new music. Maybe it was due to being at home much more and needing to feel connected to the outside world. Maybe it was due to an exceptionally good year…

Is This Still Good? : 311 — self-titled

Is This Still Good? is a series in which I revisit records that I loved as a youngish person, and examine how well they have held up over the years for me. How did I get into this record? I’ll never understand how. My best guess is that 311 got…
