Today (12/28) is the last episode of BrooklynVegan Blog Radio on SiriusXMU for 2016 and host Nick Masi spends it counting down his favorite records of the year, which include many records that ended up on BV’s year-end list.

Night Birds, Mean Jeans and Western Addiction (who also announced a new album) offer up best-of-2016 lists.

Julien’s favorite albums of the year include Touche Amore (which she sings on), recent tourmates Kevin Devine and Lucy Dacus, and more.

The Quicksand/Gorilla Biscuits/Youth of Today/etc member has had a very busy year. To cap it off, here’s his 11 favorite albums of 2016 with commentary.

From Oathbreaker to Fifth Harmony to Mitski to Beyonce, here’s NPR’s 100 favorite songs of the year.

Can you guess #1? It’s not Bowie or Radiohead…

Also: Robyn Hitchock, Bradford Cox, Cat Stevens, Judy Collins, Elton John, Questlove, Win Butler & more

BrooklynVegan Blog Radio airs Wednesdays at noon and midnight on SiriusXMU (Ch. 35), which meant this week’s edition aired the day after the election. We chose an all-female playlist…and we made a Spotify version for those who aren’t SiriusXM subscribers.

J Cole, Grimes, Savages, Kamasi Washington, Sylvan Esso, Damien Marley and more played the first day of inaugural NYC music festival The Meadows (but not The Weeknd).
