Show notes: - Breitling's #4 - Frankie Cosmos is fronted by Kevin Kline's daughter - Engaging pop record - Kumar's #4 - Very political album from Drive-By Truckers - Breitling's #3 - Classic C86-style guitar pop - Good advice: Don't pay the ferryman - Kumar's #3 - Another outstanding release from Jeff Rosenstock - Digs into Millennial angst - Breitling's #2 - Lambchop's new album isn't about the First Lady - First single is 18minutes long - Kumar's #2 - Iggy's last hurrah? - Josh Homme and friends provide backup - Breitling's #1 - Johnny Foreigner explore life's beauty and disappointments - Album came with a script - Kumar's #1 and Breitling's #6 - Bowie goes out on a high note - Put a lot of effort into the packaging - Explorations of mortality from a man who knew he was about to die - Looking forward to new albums in 2017: Cloud Nothings, Los Campesinos, Feelies, LCD Soundsystem, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ty Segall, Run the Jewels
