Twitter may be a hellhole, but it's our hellhole and we love it. Every year I, possibly the least Twitter-savvy member of the Stereogum staff, am tasked with compiling a list of some of the best/worst/most memorable music tweets of the year. For the purposes of this list, we are defining music tweets as tweets by musicians, not about music. If you want to be considered for next year's list, go buy a synth or something. My picks are below; Ryley Walker gets a lifetime achievement award and Jack Dorsey's beard gets a polite wave goodbye.

8. Charly Bliss make our job look easy
Babe, are you okay? Your angular guitars are barely meshing with sprawling synth arrangements and lush production, evoking the danceable yet cathartic sonic landscapes of Kate Bush and Arcade Fire alike
