worst 2007 lists, 2007
Posted on Wednesday 26 December 2007
Just as we aren’t above criticism, neither are any of the critics. Some of these lists are absolutely ridiculous. And while we’re on the subject, there’s only one ‘e’ in ‘bread’, you cotton-headed ninny muggins meash pwd.
01. Nic Harcourt
Jessica Hoop #1, Great Northern #7… really just a complete disaster.
02. Stylus Magazine
LCD Soundsystem in the pole position is a joke. Stylus Magazine I love you, but you’re bringing me down.
03. Skatterbrain
OK Skatterbrain, I get it, you have more obscure taste than everyone else. I haven’t had people give me a hard time about my taste recently, but when they do, they point out that just because something is less popular doesn’t make it better. For once I agree.
04. Paste Magazine
#76: Okkervil River, #8: Modest Mouse… riiiight.
05. Uncut Magazine
An uber-crappy top 10 (not to mention – well I guess I am mentioning… The Hold Steady came out last year).
Les Savy Fav : El Rey
Posted on Sunday 16 December 2007
I lied. As I should have realized, Les Savy Fav never get old, and much like the Tim’s claims in “We’ll Make A Lover Of You,” you get what you put in at their shows. I’m super thankful that having Andrew Reulard as a 5th member has brought “Scout’s Honor” back into their setlist for the first time in 7 years. Thanks, Santa. I like it so much better when we sweat together.
december mix
Posted on Saturday 1 December 2007
I don’t think I’m going to make a holiday mix this year. Sorry, Jesus.
In case anyone has noticed, I’ve always liked the idea of making the mixes more diverse in terms of period that other sites and on the radio, and usually have an unwritten rule of 1/3 new, 1/3 2000-2006, and 1/3 older stuff. While I appreciate the new music they throw at you, if there is one thing that really bothers me about KCRW/Morning Becomes Eclectic , its the way all of the music they play seems to be tied into its commercial availability. I prefer college radio that is more individual to the DJ’s taste and is simply a selection of good songs that you may or may not have ever heard. I love it when tracks from 20, 40, 60 years ago are thrown in, but on their merits rather than because they made it on to the most recent Wes Andersen soundtrack.
