2018 | Ryan’s Top Albums & EPs of the Year

As I was putting this list of my most favorites in all of music I kept saying to myself “Isn’t pretty much every song you post about, and every album you listen to, and every song you play on The Music Savage Show your favorite?” And I answered myself “Well yes Ryan, yes you are right that every song IS in fact my favorite song and every album I spend time with is my favorite album!” With that said to myself the need to put a selection of favorites into list form at the end of any year runs strong…

Mixtape | March 2018

The month of March is over, and it’s time for the world to bloom a bit. This month was especially difficult to keep the total tracks to 40. Editing down, we’ve got great new stuff from Natalie Prass, to Erin Rae, Ry Cooder, Hiss Golden Messengerand so much more. I’m so so stoked on this mixtape and I hope you like it as much as I do.

With all the big acts involved in this festival you could have flipped a coin to choose the headliners. Crowd favorites Miike Snow and Janelle Monáe finished earlier in the nights with Odesza and Robyn closing the show on Saturday night and…
