Welcome to a shiny new decade! As is tradition, we have already marked the occasion by writing the year incorrectly several times. January has been a curious month full of music; the teaser trailer for February’s album release bonanza. Here’s everything we managed to cover.

Our Top Stories of 2019
On the bright side, let’s just say that 2019 has well prepared us for whatever next year might bring.

At least, according to some. The rest, we assure you, have been disposed of as humanely as possible. The undertaking has called into question our judgement, our tastes, our ethics, and any belief in a higher power, but we do so hope that enjoy this finished product.
