    DWR Top Ten Albums/Eps Of The Year 2022

    I personally consider this one the slightly more “prestigious” award, and we’ll be seeing a whole lot of folk we saw on the top 25 songs of the year, in fact, exclusively people we saw on top 25 songs of the year.

    HI 5 11/20/22

    Man, I’m super inconsistent about when I post these. Should I take accountability or just call it part of my “brand” as an easy cop out? Not actually asking, don’t @ me.
