Finally we reach the top 50 of the Music Like Dirt end of year list, featuring 24 hours worth of the finest music released in 2019. Yes, I know it’s the arse end of January and you were bored of best ofs three weeks ago but, as I say every year, the music this year has been incredible. Hopefully there’ll be a tune or ten that is new to your ears and perhaps a new artist you’ll treasure for years… alternativly you may just think, oh for gods sake not Old Town Road again.
This year I apologise for the total lack of words. As previously mentioned, it’s late January. I could spend the next few weeks agonising over whether ‘Slap My Butt’ is better than the Hackney Colliery Band and penning some fluffy prose that most people will scroll past anyway or I could just hit PUBLISH… sorry.
