See y’all in the new year, which I hope is a happy one for all!
What’s up, y’all? Here is tonight’s Clean Up Hour. As is tradition, we begin three weeks of list with this year’s worst of list, in which 15 albums — as well as five political and cultural entities — get put under my ever-critical scope.
Heads up that, like the music I usually play, I do use language and phrasing which warrants language and content disclaimers — listener discretion is advised.
There’s a small mix after I finish rambling:
Wavy Bagels – San Juan
R.A.P Ferreira – culture jammer
Serengeti – One Tweet Away
Oddities – Coming Down (feat. Esthero)
Deus Ex – Dark Age Ending
Nas – New World
Thanks to everyone who contributed to 2024 being a great year for The Clean Up Hour — looking forward to 2025. Until then, see y’all next time!
