I will check out that music list. Agreed on the Pinback. You should get American Steel's latest Destry Their Future... SF boys and it's a fucking great album.

Posted by: loren at December 17, 2007 11:31 PMOkay, so I was only able to come up with a Top 3 list this year. I really struggled with this decision and set about to consider why. I certainly listened to a lot of music this year but ultimately felt let down. Lame follow-up albums, annoying hype-driven releases (read: Justice), and perhaps a slightly changing of my tastes, I feel, are to blame. Really though, there was a lack of "albums as statements" a proliferation of so-so albums and much better singles, EPs, and DJ mixes. No M83, no Knife, no Girl Talk this year. Who knows, maybe I just have a shorter attention span now.
Anyway, here it is, the tiny (but solid) Top 3.
1. The Field - "From Here We Go Sublime"
2. Burial - "Untrue"
3. Gui Boratto - "Chromophobia"
Honorable Mentions:
- Spank Rock - "Fabric Live 33"
- !!! - "Myth Takes"
- Digitalism - "Idealism"
And I agree, "No Country for Old Men" is hands down the year's best film.
Happy New Year Everyone!
k.
Kewl. I'll check out all that stuff.
