I’m caught up on July and while it’s been a very solid, consistent stretch of playing I do think 7/4 PS is the only thing I would put here. 7/6 Hourglass comes close.
I’d argue that the recent Silent Type could be included.
Eh I don’t think anything from Jacksonville deserves a mention. The Norva Domino Theory or Bayfield Billy or Penns Peak Plunger are my JOTYs seven months in. I think @hbbubblebath was raving about that DT after the run and rightfully so. That cathartic peaking introspective jam is great!
Plug for 3/14 Synco. One I find myself going back to often.
Thanks for the reminder about this DT!! Haven’t listened in a few months. I’ll be putting that on tonight! Fucking love it
8/22 Attachments
8/23 Staircase
I member two years ago when I was fluffing staircase to be a great jam vehicle. People were like naaahh
Staircase has been pretty consistent. Lowkey MVP of the year IMO
I’d argue Draconian has been the strongest jam vehicle so far this year but what do the numbers say?
I stand by 2017 minneapolis mantis>draconian>sweetness>end mantis as one of my favorite segments ever. As soon as stasik started the bassline in draconian I knew that it was gonna be something special
Numbers say Draco and Attachments.
As stated and demonstrated, Staircase and Attachments from the weekend was added. Always October from 8/22 and Bad Friday from 8/25 had wheels and I’m wondering if anyone else thinks they should be added.
@Bron-yr-Aur has spoken-add Bad Friday!
Done and done.
I’d Say Attachments takes the cake. I still consider Burlington version to be JOTY, then throw in the STL version for good measure.
Attachments is probably their best vehicle since it marked its territory in 2018. Mantis was right behind it for a while but a down year in 2024.
Someone give me top 5 to get me hype for this weekend! I don’t know any of this except the run I did in January and MN.
Disregarding January, which has 2 of my personal top 5 picks, I’d offer
4/24 ITK
5/24 Attachments
2/3 Mitten
3/14 Synco
5/16 IDM
7/4 Pure Saturation is all you need. Honestly just spin 7/4 or the second set of 7/5 those are my most revisited shows from this year.
7/4 has a good Great American, solid Seasons, cool Crooked One, stellar Stairase, etc. it goes and on and on. The most complete show of 2024 IMO.
7/5 WBG>Suxity is on YouTube. Check it out then finish the set if you dig it!
