1. Here are 10 records that filled my ears with goodness in 2024.
2. Picking a Top 10 for KGNU is quite a challenge. This list is alphabetical because ranking them feels impossible.
3. (But if I had to pick a favorite it’d probably be that McKiel album) (Or the Elsewhere CC comp) (Or the Mariachi Panda Bear)
4. Song of the year for me, hands down: “Mirlo” by Delahuerta. What a beauty!
5. Fave shows this year: Dakhabrakha (Bldr Thtr), Sex Mob (Dazzle), Derya Yildirim (Sleeping Village Chicago), Skinshape (Empty Bottle Chicago), Wellington Bullings (Roots Music Project), Atomga (Velvet Elk)
6. Thanks for listening to and supporting KGNU! Happy New Year and good luck to us all!
