Hey, glad you liked the software list! I was like "this might be a weird idea for a list, but if at least one person finds this useful, then it's worth it." Mission accomplished. :)

...Btw, have you heard Snail: Feral. I think it's the year's most compelling disc of doom.

Here's another rec for you - https://dogdaysband.bandcamp.com/album/heat Good instrumental stoner rock.

Digging your 2016 list. What I have heard, I'm in serious agreement with. What's more, I've had several discs stashed away for a rainy day -- some of which make up your Top 4. (Hrrmm, it's 86F and the sun is out big time, so I guess I'll be just pretending its raining.)

Also, did you manage to finish Motorpsycho: Here Be Monsters? The final track, "Big Black Dog", is the gemstone there. It's in the running for my favorite track of the year thus far.

Yes! Louise's is so deliciously twisted. :) And the "Ambergris" episode might be the peak of that twistedness.

(Oh, and I PMed you a response to your other comment. It just got too lengthy for the comment box.)

Hey, I noticed your Music Diary list is missing. It's coming back, I hope?

P.S. Thanks for recommending Evil Engineer. Solid blog.

I didn't think your Music Diary list was narcissistic at all. I liked the blend of albums and live shows -- uniquely informative. At any rate, I'm looking forward to what you're working on behind the scenes.

Hey, sorry, I hope you don't think I was ignoring you. Unfortunately, between work obligations and major health issues over the last few months I've had very little time for new music (or anything else enjoyable for that matter). I actually got Deaner's new disc straight away, but still need to listen to it. Though I'm not super-psyched based on the reviews I've being seeing for the album. Regardless, I hope to listen to it over the holidays though.
