In December 2017, our UK Music editor Jason Lewis undertook a massive undertaking... Sorting 2017's musical wheat from the chaff... In the end, he whittled his favorite records down to just 30 and that list is on this page. Additionally, you can listen to something from all of them on the outsideleft.com YouTube channel.
So now, here he goes again and what we wonder will 2018 bring? What glaring omissions will he make? What easily forgettable album will ultimately triumph? It's a December ordeal to add onto the pyre of all of the other end of year ordeals... It starts next week and won't be over until the resultant podcast has been played countless times... Watch this, and other spaces... And watch for other equally difficult holiday fare too. Outsideleft's pre-resolution resolution, we'll help you through it!
Last Years' List
Hamilton High was born on Doheny Ave in the gutter, is a poet, writer and observer of popular culture. Likes fashion and cares less for style. He's on the move, he's an alter ego and we hardly ever hear from him.

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]
If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
