I am not doing a “best of” list this year. I had some songs and some albums put together, but I figure if you go through my posts throughout the year, you can find out what I dig/dug. As most of the tracks are still up for your listening or d-loding pleasure, go dig. I actually did put together a list of best albums which is on a friend’s new site which should be ready sometime next year, so…… Instead of lists, I put together a compilation of songs, some old, some new, some crude…..some just hard-to-find.

People Press Play – Always Wrong
Ben Benjamin – Selective Periphera nov1
Thom Yorke – A Rat’s Nest
Mikkel Metal – Brikan
Saul Williams – Black Stacey (Deadbeat Remix)
Matthew Dear – Deserter
Pinback – Devil You Know
Spoon – Black Like Me – Spoon
Franz Ferdinand – All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem Cover)
Nina Simone – Since I Fell For You
Cold War Kids – Electioneering (Radiohead Cover)

a number of my friends in the bay area are having babies as of late. this decision to breed and scatter effected my east coast friends about 5 years back. maybe the west coast is 5 years ahead, or too late. i guess it depends on how you look at it. well, two of these babies have the fortune? of listening to such bands as nirvana, radiohead and the cure in baby format, which i guess along with polka, classical and rock are formats of music. i wonder if these kids will grow up and when they hear these songs in their original form, or in some elevator they won’t feel like crawling up in a ball and sucking on a nipple. maybe?

these songs are the ones that should be played in the crib. they frighten most adults, but i think kids would understand. they have nice soothing melodies and frantic slighly rounded rhythms. huh?

Bola – Urenforpuren (Ambient, Abstract Beats)

Mikkel Metal – Conceal (Ambient, Abstract Beats)

Pan Sonic – Lapevinmeri / Laptev Sea (Minimal Beats)

Murcof – Mir (Minimal Beats) – don’t forget to check out murcof at the SFEMF in september, or maybe the lovefest is your thing. i hear it’s being sponsored by Velveeta and Kraft this year. when will these people bring in some good beats to the city and not the tired old ones that we’ve heard for the past 7 years. well, i guess you can blame it on the promoters who throw the same boring parties to help their burning man float, and their “underground” music. lame. isn’t an opel supposed to be the most worthless gem, and isn’t it spelled opal?
