Merry Christmas to you Krasnyi, fuck'em indeed. Several there I've not listened to so thanks.

For me Bill Callahan, Decius, Richard Dawson, Pictish Trail and Michael Head highlights, sure I'll think of more

always good to see so little overlap in our end of year roundups

there is so much great - and very different - music being made

to add to that (admirable) lack of agreement, here are my top 20 - in no particular order
