Every time I see "In Times New Roman" it reminds me of how some high level person at my last company talked negative about Times New Roman and I started putting all my emails, spreadsheets, etc. in that font. This week in "How to Get Behind in Corporate America"

This is tough. I listened to a lot of music this year and every year. Problem is that a lot of artists I dig released new albums that were just okay. Here are some that I genuinely listen to regularly.
Gaslight Anthem - History Books Brad - In the Moment The National - both new ones Obituary - Dying of Everything
Maybe there are others that I am forgetting, but I've mostly been listening to older albums.
I am going to have to add two stylistically different albums to my list. 1. Horrendous - Ontological Mysterium Interesting combination of different metal sub-genres that all work together. 2. Gabe Lee - Drink the River Really great Americana folkiness. This guy should be more known.
