Finishing the year in beauty, 801.

Although I must confess I didn't care much for the last three tracks - too much pointless dissonance and electronic musings, but that's just my personal taste. The rest of the show was as excellent as always, though.

The highlights were some of the veterans, with Lande Hekt, The Chills and Besnard Lakes shining bright. Iggy Pop's track is not bad musically speaking, although I'm not sure how much anyone will want to return to listen to "pandemic rock" in a couple years' time. On the new comer front, I'll highlight that great bass work in Rachel Aucoin's number, as well as Dazy, Heart Shaped and The Notwish.

Here's wishing for more great new music in 2021.

Thank you kindly, Philippe.

2020 was one helluva ride and now that it’s over, I can’t wait for what 2021 has in store...stay tuned!
