2014 Stuff I Liked: Music

I created this blog to use for basically anything and everything that I fangirl over, including TV, music, movies, books, whatever.  But I find that at any given moment, I only have enough time and energy to actually write about one thing I'm currently fangirling at a time.  I do Covert Affairs reviews over at GeekFurious that real people actually read and care about, which means I can't slack off on it.  So when I'm doing those every week, I don't have time for much else other than my day job and my actual life haha.

But Covert's season ended about a week and a half ago, which is good timing, because now I can do a couple posts about the stuff I fangirled in 2014.  I've never done one of these before, because I always feel like I can't make a "Top 10 Best" of anything, since I don't have time to actually see ALL movies, or buy ALL albums, or watch the hundreds of TV shows that are on the air and streaming simultaneously these days.  So instead I'm just going to do "Stuff I Liked," which just covers whatever I could actually get my grubby paws on this year.

This post will cover music.  So let's get to it.

Stuff I Loved in 2014

Deafheaven - Sunbather

I liken the listening experience of this album to attempting to hug/cuddle a beautiful fuzzy adorable kitten, while said kitten psychotically tries to scratch your face off.  I own a good number of albums that cannot physically be taken in all at once, in just one listening experience, due to the sheer punishment on your ears.  So that in itself is nothing out of the ordinary, but what this album has that most others don't is that fuzzy kitten it's using to deliver that brutal brutal pummeling to your brain.  It's just so ... pretty ... and evil ... all at once.  I literally cannot listen to more than 2 songs at a time hahah.  But I love it and it's a great album to put on when I'm feeling pissed off or frustrated or just kinda emo.
