 Wishing everybody a fine new year. Great music and peace on earth. 

 In 2024 we lost some artists who I loved. Let's remember Jose Luis Vasques better known as The Soft Moon, James Siegfried better known as James Chance, Steve Harley of Cockney Rebel,  drummer / producer Roli Mosimann, who played in Swans and who worked with a.o The The, Jim Thirwell, Young Gods; the legendary musician/producer Steve Albini, French chanteuses Françoise Hardy and Catherine Ribeiro, New Zealand popgenius Martin Phillipps.  

My monthly round-up of favourite music videos goes ahead. December is due to the holidays a quieter period for music releases.  So this blogpost will also have some releases from November and even one from October. But I saw and heard them in December, so... 

Lots of animation this time, and pretty good too (See Horsegirl, Advance Base). Lots of new acts in this one. Hope you enjoy them all, how diverse they may sound. Play Loud.
