Rockpile 2014

Bill’s Rockpile  2014
 

Hi,

Another year and an accounting of my favorite songs. The cutoff remains about 70 minutes worth of music, or what fits on a CD. As with last year, CDs will ship by request if you send one to underclaw@gmail.com. Or if you send me your own favorites. I felt like it was a pretty good list this year, and there were some I would have liked to include. Those honorable mentions are below. There were also many good reissues this year, and I was particularly fond of the Bedhead 1992-1998. Best show I saw this year was Carsick Cars at the Middle East Upstairs.

Thanks for visiting!

Cheers,

Bill
