So much music this year! So much to enjoy! I was quite obviously obsessed with Dirty Computer, High as Hope, Be the Cowboy, and The Kids are Alright. Outside Lands was great, and well represented here. I only just got the two Blindspotting albums and the Spider-verse soundtrack, so look for those next year...



Disc 1
1. Crazy, Classic, Life - Janelle Monae. 


2. Washing Machine Heart - Mitski



3. South London Forever - Florence + The Machine



4. Miracle - Chvrches (I saw them at OL this year, and they were surprisingly excellent live)



5. This is America - Childish Gambino. Obviously the video of the year:



6. Lemon - N.E.R.D. & Rihanna. I think I heard this at the end of last year, but I only got it in February. They were also at OL, and with this dancer, who is so incredible:



7. Majesty - Nicki Minaj ft. Eminem



8. Worship - Lizzo. Lizzo was easily the discovery of OL for me this year. She put on an incredible show.



9. Pressure - Muse



10. You Should See Me in a Crown - Billie Eilish



11. The Kids Are Alright - Chloe x Halle



12. Patricia - Florence + The Machine



13. Geyser - Mitski



14. The Draw - Bastille. Not sure how I missed this years ago, but I like it:



15. Screwed - Janelle Monae ft. Zoe Kravitz. (Below is the audio, but this is the segment of the film with Screwed in it - not available as a separate video that I could see: https://youtu.be/jdH2Sy-BlNE?t=894)



16. Burn It Down - Fitz and the Tantrums. Another one I missed:



17. Hunger - Florence + The Machine



18. Dirty Water - Foo Fighters



19. Would You Fight for My Love - Jack White. Continuing to play catchup



20. Fairytale of New York - The Pogues. My favorite holiday song! I got to go up on stage to sing it with Taylor Mac this year, which was lots of fun. (A good tip I heard recently, replace *that line* with "You've taped over Taggart!")
