I can't keep up with your list. I need a day or two off just to review all you listed.
But I enjoy sampling from your lists each week.

 

And now for something a little different ... From NME: Speaking of ‘My Lover Cindy’, Hackman says that the track deals with the fluidity of gender and how sex can be a “throwaway thing” which can lead to a “terror of falling out of love with people” and a distrust of your own emotions. “People find it easier now to identify as queer, lesbian or gay,” she says. “It feels more safe.”

What can I say? I was a teenager in the 70s [shrug]

Biters -- "Don't Turn This Good Heart Bad"

 

I'm still waiting for a new song that I like this year. Does "Old Aces Die Hard" by Jethro Tull count? It was recorded in 1976 but only just now released...

P.S. I only have two albums from 2016 in my collection, Gevurah's Hallelujah and Swans' The Glowing Man.
