Fifth BKDK Web Weave while waiting for them to hold hands (spoilers)

this isn’t control - i could never control my heart towards you

this is the last long scream i will ever make - the last kiss, the last embrace - i can ever give to you

Back by unpopular demand, it's my top albums of 2023! While 2022 suffered a dearth of good artists that made it impossible to cobble together a top 10, I struggled this year to whittle my 50(!!)-album shortlist down to my top.

Same rules as always: everything on this list is a full-length album (no EPs) of largely previously unreleased material (no reissues, no cover albums, no Taylor's Version) arranged in an intentional manner (no B-sides or rarities albums). Now, behold!

10. DOG PARK DISSIDENTS - THE PINK AND BLACK ALBUM

I hope I'm not the only punk frustrated with the decline of queer rage in the music scene. Everyone's sad and no one is angry. If you're sick of being well-behaved, this is the album for you. I've been a Dog Park Dissidents fan for years now, and I'm thrilled to see them put out an LP, especially one as great as this one.

9. SINCERE ENGINEER - CHEAP GRILLS

Something everyone needs to know about me: I love a girlflop. There is nothing more endearing than an absolute disaster of a woman, and no one is flopping through life quite like Deanna Belos. Her third album brings her scratchy-voiced brashness into her early 30s, and as much as I hope for an end to her crisis, at least she has a good soundtrack going.

8. ALL GET OUT - ALL GET OUT

Wouldn't it be easy if I didn't listen to any albums? If I just put my favorite bands in the top ten and said "that's enough hard work, I think"? Well, I don't, because sometimes there's a surprise. All Get Out has frustrated me for a while, as their Southern-fried brand of rock and roll is something I should like, but they never seemed to put it all together... until now.

7. BLONDSHELL - BLONDSHELL

Sabrina Mae Teitelbaum showed up at the eleventh hour to wreck my rankings. I was unaware of Blondshell until they opened for Liz Phair a month ago, and I was intrigued enough to follow up and listen to her debut. Her stage presence needs some work -- unlike, say, Foxing's latest album, which I learned to love once I heard it live, I think Blondshell is better recorded -- but if this is her first effort, I can't wait to see what she does next.

6. ZZ WARD - DIRTY SHINE

2023 was the year of blues rock artists going independent, and their music was all the better for it. The Record Company was a late cut for my honorable mentions, but ZZ takes the sixth spot here. There was a lot riding on Dirty Shine: she was independent and had been mostly silent since the pandemic. With some of the tightest production I've seen this year, she hasn't missed a step.

5. QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE - IN TIMES NEW ROMAN...

Talk about someone who's been through the wringer since their last album. Josh Homme battled cancer, alcoholism, and a bitter divorce, and his band's latest release is one of pent-up rage. It bears strong shades of 2007's Era Vulgaris, which was divisive in its own time, and as a result, some might hate In Times New Roman... for its looser, crunchier sound. For me? It's exactly what I like to hear.

4. SPANISH LOVE SONGS - NO JOY

I have a confession: I'm a terrible album reviewer. It takes me weeks or months to listen to something new, even for my favorite artists, like Spanish Love Songs. I didn't get around to No Joy until just before I went to see SPL open for Hot Mulligan, at which point I felt like the time had come. This album was an acquired taste, smoother and more polished than 2020's Brave Faces, Everyone, but like Frightened Rabbit's 2016 Painting of a Panic Attack, the sparser sound lets you focus on what Dylan et al. are trying to say, and you can soon tell No Joy is an album that needed to come out for his own sake.

3. HEART ATTACK MAN - FREAK OF NATURE

Speaking of "late on the draw," behold Heart Attack Man, a band I should have loved... if I ever got around to listening to them. They hang around all the same scenes my other favorite bands do (in fact, Hot Mulligan also brought them along on their most recent tour), and yet I never got around to exploring them until this June, when they played in Philly for $20 tickets. Good thing my impulses won out, because this album is what punk should be (and something it's been sorely missing).

2. HOT MULLIGAN - WHY WOULD I WATCH?

After shouting them out in the last two entries, I have to give Hot Mulligan their flowers. They're a strange band, having more in common with Dance Gavin Dance than, say, The Wonder Years. It's progressive post-hardcore for Midwest emos, and although the individual songs on Why Would I Watch? are on par with any individual song from a previous release, they do something here that elevates them above their other work: put out an album, rather than a collection of songs.

1. FIREWORKS - HIGHER LONELY POWER

It was always going to be Fireworks. They released this album on January 1 after a long hiatus, giving me an entire year to have this LP rattle in my brain and linger in my bones. Higher Lonely Power combines several trends found on the rest of this list -- a new sound that needed to grow on me, a need to shake off the rust of a hiatus, a band I took far too long to get to know. They're my favorite band's favorite band for a reason, and Higher Lonely Power is a gorgeous mediation on love, death, and aging. A worthy album of the year if ever there were one.

I finished “Draco Malloy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love” yesterday. It is so cute - total romcom vibes, excellent banter, good use of magic, amazing settings, and Tonks and Lupin are alive. I also really enjoyed the blend of muggle science with magic and both characters trying (failing) at ignoring their feelings. This song perfectly summarizes this too cute fanfic.

Tag Nine People You Want To Get To Know Better

Tagged by: @lovepollution, @phoebeprufrock (who actually tagged me, so thank you 💛), @aheathen-conceivably, @genuineformality and @dayenurose (their tags were open to anyone)

Favorite Color: Pink, preferably a dusky pink or red.

Currently Reading: I call myself a reader but I haven’t finished or read anything in a long time (can’t get my head to concentrate well enough). Currently got both On The Road by Jack Kerouac and Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh partly of the way through as audiobooks but haven’t listened to them in a while either.

Last Song: It’s either Love Goes On and On by Lindsay Stirling featuring Amy Lee (which I’m so happy with this collab, since I love them both and have thought for years and years, that they need to work together…even if it’s in my mind) or Help Me Mama by ZZ Ward (one of my favourite artists). <- I wrote all the previous stuff a while ago, as I’ve had this post in my queue for two weeks, so I’ll say the last song I listened to, was probably Style by Taylor Swift because of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel fandom and Midge and Lenny. 💖💙 The other was probably Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge because for whatever reason, my mind remembered that scene from American Horror Story. 🖤🩸🧛‍♀️🧛

Last Series: If you mean currently watching, then Community. I never watched it when it originally aired, though I’ve been interested in watching it for a while. Also, I’ve been rewatching Mad Men with my household. If you’re meaning the last completed watch to the very last episode so far aired, then that’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I’ll be sad when it’s over tbh. 💝

Last Movie: Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis. It was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. I actually cried!

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Oh, definitely sweet. When my mum was expecting me, all she craved was sweets and mint toothpaste. I have a very big sweet tooth and I like minty things.

Currently Working On: I haven’t written anything, fan-fiction or original in a long time but I did have an original thing going on at some point and I’m trying to get my confidence up to actually begin it, once more, with earnest. I even made a blog here on tumblr, that was to help me with my original story and my confidence in writing it. Was trying to make it so I wouldn’t get bogged down in my head and to just have fun making posts and such, to help me on my way to completing the work.

Tagging: Anyone who wants to do this.
