personally a good year – healthy happy kids, and at last wooden flooring in the last remaining untouched room @ ireallylovemusic<\/u> hq became a reality.<\/p>\n

music collection wise not that good.last year saw some obvious high profile releases that just clicked with most (arcade fire<\/strong>\/lcd soundsystem<\/strong> being 2 obvious choices), that enjoyed both commercial and critical success.
check out the various end of year lists, and it’s clear that nothing has really connected across the genre divides. <\/p>\n

while i enjoyed a few new albums, [list is now up on another site just around the corner<\/a>], i can’t deny the fact that most of the year i listened to stuff that wasn’t released in 2008. <\/p>\n

a sign of my own greying times, or generally a crap’un ? <\/p>\n

i’d suggest any year in which a highly praised band of beardy folks spouting off about how brilliant the fucking beach boys<\/strong> are would imply there was definitely a lack in progress given that every year there seems to be a plethora of bands that use brian wilson as the blueprint on which to base their own harmonised moans-n-groans.<\/p>\n

i mean, please, it’s 2008. <\/p>\n

on a good tip, it looks like 2008 saw the end of landfill indie, and at last labels are wising up to the fact that blokes with guitars and a few records by the jam<\/strong>\/television<\/strong>\/gang of four<\/strong>\/beatles<\/strong> etc etc are, on the whole, dull dull dull. <\/p>\n

now, one final request, can people please put away their justice<\/strong> records. <\/p>\n

that over compressed digital noise dance thing has been played out. <\/p>\n

in summary, 2009 : bring it on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
