My latest obsession: "Fisherman". This is reggae… no, psychedelic reggae… or in other words, Lee Perry peaking creatively. Featuring Gregory Isaacs, the Heptones and the Meditations and inexcusably overlooked upon its release in 1977, the Congos' Heart of the Congos, produced by Perry, now stands as one of roots reggae’s quintessential records. Absolutely essential.

As my output slows to a trickle, I justify it by saying that the time after Thanksgiving is good for enjoying everything you heard this year. When I remember the summer, Norwegian electro revivalist Skatebård’s "Disco Nonstop" (from the Love Attack EP) immediately comes to mind as a late-night party jam and/or later-night after-party comedown.
