In this episode, I talk about my 10 favorite music releases that came out of the treacherous year of 2020 along with a variety of honorable mentions. While 2020 was one of the worst years in recent memory, I can't help but notice that it was a fantastic year for new music, it seems that so many artists have given it their all as of recent and it has to be recognized and commended. Also find out which band has finally managed to overtake Interpol as my favorite band ;) Happy New Year to my listeners! Here's to a much better year moving forward.
