Yayyyy April 15th is a good day! Final day of this countdown is a Depeche Mode cover on the recent War Child project. Pulled it off! youtu.be/UpuDTaAehjI?...

2026! Almost to the finish line A shoegaze-ish band I've long been meh about but this new release is my album of 2026 thus far! Awesome record youtu.be/Le47RyNkinw?...

2025 Day 2....Boy we are close to the end of this season I'm going to cheat a little here. Not originally released in 2025 but the reunion tour, the build up, the nostalgia, seeing them at The Rose Bowl...it was everything in 2025. Oasis-Slide Away (Opening Night Live25) youtu.be/7ZeIFoV06g0?...

The end is nearing...bot for this countdown and for the bloody tax filing season We are now in 2025. Not my favorite song from the record but certainly a crowd pleaser youtu.be/3triLkS0nq4?...

Man another day closer to bloody April 15th We are going to jump ahead to 2024. Utterly gobsmacked The Cure could put something out this great 50 year into their legendary career....total banger here www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6gF...

2023 up next! The GOATs return with another absolute gem that I listen to all the time. I particularly love this album closer...what a vibe youtu.be/AiQUd6F6_kw?...

2nd 2022 banger. It's not Maps or even Heads Will Roll but this is a banger nontheless from YYY youtu.be/ckM_TklU_AQ?...

Trudging along on a trudging Monday into 2022 Let's just say that I couldn't think of a more aptly titled song for the final tax season push youtu.be/5BEPCENpH8k?...

2021 day 2 is some crazy good dream pop from Saint Petersburg Russia. Just a Wash of guitars and banging drums youtu.be/ARScgVS227A?...

2021 is up next and let's kick it up a notch with Turnstile for a Saturday stuck indoors prepping tax returns youtu.be/YtGRLKVzzdg?...

I'm trying to land this plane on exactly April 15 so an extra day of 2020 being the great year for albums that it was A throwback synth pop Covid discovery that is equal parts New Order, The Cure and even a bit of Pet Shop Boys. Cool band I've seen a few times live youtu.be/HN0PGJneSUM?...

A punk anthem wrapped up as a singer/songwriter Indie folk-ish beauty....also from my album of the year. love the slow build into her anger youtu.be/WJ9-xN6dCW4?...

Maybe my favorite ever lyric

First day of April means we are inching along to the target April 15. It also means a banger is up for the year 2020...a great year indeed (for music not society) Been listening to this album a ton this tax season for some reason. Proper Dream Pop from Wisconsin youtu.be/yuoFLLHB1Fc?...

The struggle bus is fully engaged but there are bangers to post...Day 2 2019 One of my favorite current artists singing about the one night stands and the melancholy that can come with all that...something that DTM hasn't had to deal with in....uhhh a lot of years. youtu.be/b_0oCxfL9cM?...

Let's keep trucking through the years on our way to April 15 Day 1 2019-A cover of Frightened Rabbit's Poke by the band Daughter is highlight of this post death tribute album youtu.be/xeUZd4VryVU?...

USMNT is still dreadful

Day 1 2018 Yes Matty Healy is pretty cringe but this song slaps like an old 80's synth new wave banger youtu.be/zUzBfBqbSmc?...

2017 Day 2 and the aforementioned Slowdive release after 20+. Expected meh got something far far better youtu.be/ogCih4OavoY?...

2017-Maybe my favorite year for releases in the last 10...Slowdive, The National, LCD Soundsystem had releases to name a few. But the best of the bunch was this banger debut. What a record...what an artist. Love this video too youtu.be/BBBxzmyeNdw?...

Day 2 2016. Seems like the day the world went to shit. What a way to go out youtu.be/y-JqH1M4Ya8?...

Let’s move to 2016. What if one of your favorite Sad Dad artists decided to get sadder? Well we end up with a masterpiece that is Moon Shaped Pool youtu.be/TTAU7lLDZYU?...

NICO

Another band that I feel like should Be a bigger one for me but i don’t quite get all the hype Nevertheless this is a beauty Day 2 2015 youtu.be/RBtlPT23PTM?...

While tax season sure doesn’t feel like it’s in the home stretch this countdown does. Up to the year 2015 One of my favorite releases of the 10’s. Just a beautiful record from start to finish youtu.be/0qLXf31Cawk?...

I’ll never shake the Sad Dad moniker with entries like this. Day 2 2014 youtu.be/U9RfKKfNT0Q?...

First up for 2014. A band I don’t love as much as I feel like I should but this is a banger nonetheless youtu.be/ZAn3JdtSrnY?...

Sorry not sorry but another National entry for Day 2 2013 This song features one of my favorite lyrics “When i walk in to a room, i do not light it up…fuck” youtu.be/lwGpLEOi1bc?...

Client left 5 years ago when we raised her fees significantly. Called today wanting to come back at almost 2x that raised fee and then got shitty with staff when we said we were no longer accepting new returns

2012 Day 2. You know what? Don’t love the year. Gonna fast forward to 2013 and double up later Going back to Scotland for some proper Sad Dad indie youtu.be/bx7dF89a3z4?...

Just to mix it up a bit here is a Monday instrumental for first entry of 2012 banger of the day DIIV youtu.be/yl0iimQejfU?...

For day 2 of 2011 an unbanger banger youtu.be/TWcyIpul8OE?...

Let’s move onto 2011 shall we. Closer and closer to 2026 which also means April 15!! This entry is one I had forgotten about but certainly got a lot of rotation at the time youtu.be/a2BUEzdjfpY?...

Day 2 of 2010. At the risk of this turning into a National countdown I present another entry from the band youtu.be/yfySK7CLEEg?...

2010 was a good year I realized perusing the releases This is my favorite album of theirs and this song just drips with nostalgia youtu.be/5Euj9f3gdyM?...

For 2009 day 2 I’m not going to go with the obvious song from this debut beauty but a banger nonetheless youtu.be/2EIeUlvHAiM?...

Move on to 2009 brings me to the first entry from France. What an album this is. Could have picked anything from this record youtu.be/36_4xjLFjM0?...

Day 2 of 2008 features likely the shortest banger in this countdown to April 15 youtu.be/_XC2mqcMMGQ?...

On to 2008 and back across the pond to Scotland. I wish Scott Hutchison was still alive making bangers like this one. Very sad but this is a beauty and the video always puts a smile on my face youtu.be/nBcbDS5AGnk?...

2007 deserves a 3rd entry because it’s such a great year This dream pop banger will do just fine youtu.be/a7FqUNlEdwA?...

Noem out but next guy is also a complete dipshit

Day 2 of 2007 and boy is this a banger. Nostalgia wrapped in a hypnotic beat. What a tune youtu.be/aygY5OqMuKE?...

I hope it lightly rains at Lou Holtz’s funeral, so the mourners can look up to the sky and remember how it felt when you talked up close with Lou Holtz.

2007. Might do 3 entries for this year it’s so damn good But first we go with true Sad Dad Canon. Can’t tell you what this record means to old DustyTaxMemes 🎶Oh you wouldn’t want an angel watching over you Surprise, surprise they wouldn’t wanna watch 🎶 youtu.be/E9ck_FhoDUc?...

Enjoying the Kristi Noem clips quite a bit, you guys

2006 Day 2 and we are headed back across the pond for this beauty youtu.be/CYpn8yUnX_c?...

First entry for 2006 is quite a banger indeed Enjoy the day and play this loudly if possible youtu.be/DYd57rkvnpQ?...

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

2025 Day 2 is a proper building banger from a Canadian indie band. Fun song that keeps adding in more and more throughout www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXi5...

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.
