It's been 10 years since I posted my first "best of" post back at the end of 2009. It was my favourite 25 songs and favourite 30 albums, in no particular order. I've put together annual lists of my favourite songs and albums of each year since then, and lately added my favourite concert photos starting back in 2014. If you want, you can peruse all my best of posts from this link here.

Here are my favourite albums of 2019 and you can check out my favourite songs of the year right over here and my favourite concert photos of the year right here. My best songs list is on Spotify and on Apple Music.

All the best for a clearer 2020.

I've been impressed with Pottery's music since I first heard "Lady Solinas". I loved their show at Lee's Palace during NXNE. So, it wasn't a stretch to convince me to see the band again as they opened for Fontaines D.C. at The Phoenix Concert Theatre.

The band impressed once again with their off-kilter and intricate grooves, frantic funkiness and off-the-charts musicianship.

If you'd like, check out my photos from the Lee's Palace gig here, and check out my photos of the light-phobic Fontaines D.C. right here.

And here's some Pottery music:

"The Craft"


"Hank Williams"


"Lady Solinas"

Montreal's Pottery was the band to see at this NXNE showcase at Lee’s Palace and the band that got me off my couch to head out for a night of music. Pottery takes varied influences including post-punk, dance and pop, and turns them into frantic, intricate and furiously funky songs. There's no one else quite like Pottery around and I love their fantastic noise.

Also on the bill were Vypers, Brenda and The Fame. Click through to check out my photos of their sets.

And here’s some Pottery music. “Lady Solinas“ is currently in heavy rotation in my library.

"Lady Solinas"

"The Craft"

"Hank Williams"
