2015 In Music
PREAMBLE… BUY SOME FUCKING MUSIC! Buy a whole album, go to a show, pick up some merch, Just spend some money! But if you buy it online, try to buy from the artist’s website, or the label (if it’s a small one). Cool? Cool. So here we go, all the stuff that moved me this year. This is my most expansive attempt to celebrate a year in music so far. There’s the inevitable TOP TEN list, and then TOP FIV

| It was alright. I little too bro-y and self-aware for my tastes. I liked the conservative cop that Doc has an unlikely friendship with. Mostly because I pictured him as Nick Offerman and that made me laugh. Meh. | |

| Interesting. I did prefer the first story to the others, but I was talking with a Korean friend of mine and she unpacked a lot of it for me from her cultural viewpoint and her spirited defense did make me like the novel more. There's the sense of a w ...more | |

| Wow, you know, I really loved Octavia E. Butler when I was a kid, but this is the second book of hers I've re-read as an adult so far, and neither one remotely held the same power over me. Here, in this, it's really the spirituality that felt tedious ...more | |

| I like this. It was really lovely. It can at times feel a little like McCarthy-lite, but it's got a great voice, a wonderful sense of language and a sprawling sense of place and time. A really good western with a lot of heart and filled with interest ...more | |

| Really loved this. Considering where the story goes this could've been an overly constructed, emotionally manipulative drama. But it's not. It achieves its ends and earns its revelations. Kaveh Akbar writes like he's on fire, and there's so much grea ...more | |

| Fun tight read, though the beginning was so slow that I put it aside for a bit and read some Chekhov short stories and some Lydia Davis flash fiction, but I ultimately got back to this and once the protagonist, who is named after the author, is on th ...more | |

| Really very sublime and gentle, even as it confronts Japanese patriarchy and the struggles of a housewife searching for her voice and individual identity. It's so full of soft poetics and every day rhythms. A very nice, very reflective read. A semina ...more | |

| I am in awe at the density of this satire about how utterly mundane and hilariously hum drum the American esoteric secret society craze of the 1920s to the 1960s is. Every single paragraph is stacked with funny shit. Tiny observations, turns of phras ...more | |

"Full disclosure: I wrote my master's thesis on Ellison's novel because I thought the first time that I read it that it is one of the most significant pieces of literature from the 20th century. Now that I teach it in my AP English class, I've reread "
