MZ's Top Music of 2014

(in no particular order)

New Pornographers: Brill Bruisers

Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh. Au go-go!

Spoon: They Want My Soul

Mayakovsky rolls

over. Britt shits on Merge, and

Uni swallows Spoon.

Interpol: El Pintor

My blue Olds never

cruised like Banksie's machine.

Fuck Pitchfork and ride!

Swans: To Be Kind

Sweet fifty-nine, Mike

Gira still makes music to make

pain make music pain.

Kishi Bashi: Light

Half Japanese who

can mimic Ray Davies?

Chemicalize me!

War on Drugs: Lost in the Dream

Dazzling sounds borne of

loneliness, depression and death.

Affirm! Play! Affirm!

Bring Me the Head of Tyler the Haikuist

Tyler's Top Music of 2014

(Possibly in order)

Sylvan Esso: Sylvan Esso

Smooth and silky pop

From a backup singer and

A psych-folk bassist

Beck: Morning Phase

Melancholy Beck

Is beautiful and epic

Stay sad, Beck. Stay sad

Spoon: They Want My Soul

Spoon loosens up but

Rocks as hard as they did on

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga

War on Drugs: Lost in the Dream

No beer commercial

Would be alas chill as the songs

On Lost in the Dream

Weezer: Everything Will Be Alright In The End

Weezer is good again, 

Apologizing for ten 

Years of bad music
