IT’S THE 2014 FOWRIES

2014 was bullshit.

Like, seriously. Deserving of our angriest graffitti on our shittiest brick wall. An unrepetantly hard year for everyone on the site. Bullshit. Site-crippling bullshit. Fear-making bullshit. Find a thing, it was bullshit.

Except when it comes to music! And our desire to run this site into the ground! So we’re doing awards again! Hooray!

We’re going to try to get it all done by the end of January. There will be multiple album posts a day once we get that settled, and we’ll do another deliberation podcast and best songs mixtape.

Also, remember how the last time we did a podcast we introduced a new site member to talk on stuff?

Also also, no Not Best Album this year. Nothing was terrible enough to get that angry at.
