This week: our annual Last Chance Qualifier for AOTY 2024, featuring Mashd N Kutcher, High Fade, Kim Deal, the Spyrals, White Denim and Lyrics Born.

Also: Endorphin rushes, Clarke & Dawe 2024, the early 90s funk revival, bonus stages of grief, profiting off Gen X nostalgia, Red Hot Chatsy Peppers, no more from you, leaving with a vibe, hoping for a different album than this one, a shed in an industrial estate, simping R&B, badly-aged BBL timestamps, welcoming opinions on 1995, wombat facts, Doc’s top 40 probably-worth-listening-to albums of the year, other people’s AOTY opinions, listening to Americans talk about music, and the miseducation of Doc & Beeso.

Next week: we’re off, while we selflessly throw ourselves into Hammock Time aka listening back to the albums of the year in order to figure out what the hell our top five albums of 2024 were, probably while drinking beer in the sun. We do this for you people, obvs. Back around 8 Jan with our 2024 AOTY special.
