I've always enjoyed listening to a wide variety of music, so it’s no surprise that I listened to a little bit of everything this year. I hope you find a new artist or song to add to your own playlist. pic.twitter.com/g6kBzAbrZG

Meant to post this to ILM; mods, feel free to move it if you'd like.

If this list is ranked, Obama and I might actually have the same second fave song of the year.

We were listening to this in the car today, and I've enjoyed it so far.

Parquet Courts - Walking at a Downtown Pace

As disappointing as the Obama Presidency

The idea that someone who recently spent eight years as the President of the United States feels it is necessary to resort to posting lists of his favorite movies and music of the year in order to retain some measure of relevancy in the public eye is somehow just... dispiriting as hell.

He did that when he was in office too.

congrats for finding the absolutely least important thing one can bag on obama for: supporting indie rock

Didn't GW Bush post playlists before him? Iirc yes.

If Jimmy Carter had done this he'd have had the Allman Brothers on it, whom he actually knew IRL, and probably Led Zeppelin. Nixon, who was an actual musician, would've had the Carpenters and Vikki Carr on his playlist.

spalding is the best one here but i voted for “pepas” in the spirit of partying hard, presidential style

― grove street (party) direction (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 29 December 2021 00:36 (three years ago)

He has to have a private playlist with “Seeing Green” and “Fuck Him All Night” on it.
