James Aicaster here, comedian and music fan, and in 2017, I had a breakdown. I dealt with that breakdown by buying as much music from 2016 as I possibly could.

As a result, I now own over 700 albums that came out in 2016 and I'm convinced

it's the greatest year for music of all time. But it's not enough me being convinced. I also

want to convince each and every single one of you, plus a guest every week. Here on James

Acre's Perfect Sounds, we send a guest an album from 2016, they come on the podcast

and we talk about that album. When that album first dropped, knowing that that record was as

person as it was, it's amazing. The originality of this woman is so lovely. You're making

me fall in love with them more and more. I'm like, yeah, course that, yeah, they self-funded it, yeah.

It's that simple.

And at the end of the podcast, we see if they will admit that 2016 is the greatest year for music of all time.

You said you liked it.

I said I did like it.

You said it.

But I've liked albums from London.

We've got it recorded.

Different years.

If you join me in the first series, welcome back. If you're new, welcome

along. Why did I get so into the music of 2016? That's what people are asking. Yeah, I mentioned

I had a breakdown earlier. And that is basically it.

Everyone has those moments in their lives.

You'll have had moments where you have a wobble.
