Bill’s Rockpile 2024008
Welcome back, and thanks for checking out the 2024 Rockpile. Another year, another chance to collect and share the songs that stayed with me, sparked countless replays, and soundtracked everything from late-night drives to early morning coffee sessions. These songs are more than favorites; they’re markers of time, bursts of inspiration, and reasons to keep exploring the news songs out there.
As always, this isn’t a “Best Of” list, but a personal curation of tracks that I couldn’t get enough of. Each one of these songs is one I own (yes, even in 2024, I’m still buying the occasional CD but more often something off Bandcamp). While streaming is convenient, owning the music ensures it’s always yours.
I did get to see a lot of shows again this year, and even made it to 2 Festivals (Solid Sound, Merge 35), both of which were fantastic. Other highlights out on the road were seeing Sprints, Ride, Fontaines D.C., Quivers, and Waxahatchee.
For this year, I think for the first time, all the tracks were available on Spotify (link at bottom). So I will just be posting the Spotify link for the playlist, as well as Bandcamp links for each song if you want to listen from there or jump to their bandcamp page and buy a song.
Thanks for tuning in again this year. Feel free to reach out with your own favorites or thoughts on the list. And as always, support the artists and keep the music alive. See you in 2025!
Cheers,
Bill
