This year I focused on listening to albums that were on my collection and I hadn’t played. I made sure to give every record a spin.

So I didn’t listen to a lot of music released this year. I did overplay Black Country, New Road’s debut and consider it the best album of 2021.

The record I listened to the most this year was Built to Spill’s Perfect from Now On, which I ended up writing about for Tinta en las Cintas.

My favorite old new discovery is The Black Heart Procession. Listened to their first three records and absolutely love the song A Light So Dim.

Oniona was really into XTC this year so I ended up going through their early records with her, I love the song Burning With Optimism’S Flames.

I was really into Robert Wyatt for a couple of months. There were a couple of weeks on which every day started and ended with Stallin Wasn’t Stallin’.

But here are the actual charts for 2021.

I played 10,010 different tracks, 17586 times during the year.
