Best of 2015 - Singles & EPs

 

This is the Happyoblivion Best of 2015, part 1 of 2 this week.  We will go over the best singles & EPs, including the 20 best singles/EPs for 2015.  Some singles are off of LPs that didn't make the cut for best albums, but just happen to be good enough to stand on their own.  Oh, and just a couple releases from late 2014 as well (Jangleberries--November 2014, Shin Rizumu--December 24, 2014).  First part of the show features songs in no particular order, but the latter part of the show we do our top 20 countdown!

Part 2 will be next week and we will look back at the best LPs (full length albums) of 2015!
