The Woj (In Exile?)

I’ve already done my TV and movies lists, so music is the obvious one I’m missing.

Songs and albums are mixed in together. (A lot of songs this year — I think that reflects not so much what was available as the fact that I downloaded a lot more free singles than I usually do.) No order.

If I haven’t listed your favorite album, it’s probably because I didn’t hear it.

• Action Bronson, “Set It Off”
• Apathy, “Check to Check”
• Danny Brown, “Outer Space”
• Wiley, 100% Publishing
• Earth, Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light
• Bobby Long, A Winter Tale
• Lana Del Rey, “Video Games” — shut up
• Shabazz Palaces, “Swerve… The reeping [sic?] of all that is worthwhile (Noir not withstanding [sic?])”
• Omar LinX f/ Emilio Rojas, “Say Goodbye”
• Glasses Malone, “May 1st”

• Merle Haggard, I Am What I Am
• Ben Sollee, Inclusions
• Diz Gibran & Moonshine, “SLICK”
• Jojo Pellegrino f/ Vinnie Paz, “Pellienza” (Vinnie’s verse is a goddamn riot — this doesn’t have all of them, but it’s close, and it’s so amazing)

• The Answer Page, “Cold Blue Light (In Circles)”
• EMA, “The Grey Ship”
