Many of us would like to forget 2017.  It was a tough year politically and socially and for many parts of the country the weather sucked.  Culturally however, it was a different story.  It was a great year at the movies, the golden era of TV continued and there was some truly great music released throughout the year.  For episode 48 we discuss a bunch of the albums we loved as well as some great books and music docs released in 2017 as well as a few things previously released but only hitting our radar this year.    Here’s what made the cut for Huntsman Hill's Best of 2017:   10.  M:  David Bowie A New Career in Town  https://open.spotify.com/album/6DcvIymXDe8sCD1u0fzi8J R:  The Dwarves Julio https://www.discogs.com/Dwarves-Julio/master/1273221 9.   M:  Thundercat Drunk  https://open.spotify.com/album/4anxEzh8xEKSPXKHGWiFue R:  Pears Human Movement  https://open.spotify.com/album/4d4k89skJ9341GMOB1U8k3 8.   M:  Charlotte Gainsbourg Rest https://open.spotify.com/album/4qViuTOzHQqtVppJtf96Hh R:  Straight to Hell (soundtrack) https://www.discogs.com/Various-Straight-To-Hell/master/125700 7.   M:  Ryan Adams Prisoner https://open.spotify.com/album/4jldY4eFDSoZua0KBCp6KH R:  Western Addiction Tremulous https://open.spotify.com/album/6Q9MxpdtAsHmkPytHNdnZG  6.   M:  Metallica Master of Puppets (Reissue) https://open.spotify.com/album/7CGhx630DIjdJqaBDVKc5j R:  Jawbox Novelty  https://open.spotify.com/album/7jHIZMbjVUpn0OlihUbFsU 5.   M:  The XX I See You https://open.spotify.com/album/2PXy9USZAoTSdtrxfkPBnl R:  Roger Miret My Riot (book) https://www.amazon.com/My-Riot-Agnostic-Front-Glory/dp/1944713107/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515556961&sr=8-1&keywords=roger+miret+my+riot  4.   M:  Mark Lanegan Band Gargoyle https://open.spotify.com/album/4yUmtpxiIxxFArRaxnBLEb R:  Jawbreaker Demo (remixed/remastered)  https://jawbreakerband.bandcamp.com/album/demo-remixed-remastered 3.   M:  Kendrick Lamar Damn https://open.spotify.com/album/4eLPsYPBmXABThSJ821sqY R:  Superchunk (various) https://www.mergerecords.com/superchunk 2.   M:  Slowdive Slowdive https://open.spotify.com/album/4nSWX5A4xVomzrOEGDKLQ6 R:  Under The Influence (Noisey YouTube series) https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=noisey+under+the+influence+ 1.   M:  The Afghan Whigs In Spades https://open.spotify.com/album/36aHZ5bWLazLQtZc3w2Wfw R:  Ghost Work Starlight & Blue https://open.spotify.com/album/7mEkTuca6a7Z0GsPhxUTby   huntsmanhill.com #huntsmanhill
