Happy New Year and welcome to the Best of 2024 series! Our listeners are choosing their favorite album and song from last year and today it’s California and Illinois for you peoples. That means Craig Rosen – who picks Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter as LP of the year and MJ Lenderman’s “She’s Leaving You” as song of the year — and Sunny Varney – who picks Blood Incantion’s Absolute Elsewhere as album of the year and “Yesterday Fades” by Pøltergeist as song of 2024. Thanks Craig and Sunny!
