#344 with Bryan Static

Summary: Here it is, 2015. We survived. Who knows for how long? As per usual, this year was filled with terrible politics, horrendous atrocities to mankind, and awesome music. This year, not like usual, I actually had to do some digging to find the best music of the year. I was not on the ball this year. I don't know what changed exactly, but finding new and exciting artists was not as easy this year as it was for me in the past. Probably it has a little to do with my schedule, a little to do with my depression, and a lot to do with my financial situation. But, never fear! I scrimped and scavenged and found seventeen of the best tracks of rocking punk music! And I didn't even use all of the good records that came out this year! 2014, here's what I have to say to you. You were a harsh, unforgiving year. A year that started out filled with hope and excitement for the future until you brutally crushed it out of me. But for that you made me stronger, kind of like a character in an RPG. So, thanks for helping me level up, I guess. Here's hoping you all got a chance to level up this year as well. Tell me the best records I totally slept on or your favorite video game to play because spending $60 on a brand new one is ridiculous at bryanstatic@gmail.com -Bryan To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..." It's a hefty file, so it may take some time to download to your computer. To play the file without downloading (it depends on your computer's configuration for playing music files), just click it. Your media player should recognize what to do with an mp3. (If it doesn't, you're on your own.)
