the brand new tangled web you're spinning.
Thanks Sebadoh. It's been a long time since I have blogged and even longer since I paid attention to you - I apologise for both.
2013 has begun, and before I look forward I feel like looking back. 2012 was a strange year, and I feel like 2013 is my year to put puzzle pieces together, and challenge myself. I am not a resolution maker, but I do traditionally take a week off in January and purge my home of junk and my life of nonsense.
2012, was a weird year for music for me. I felt so distracted for most of the year that really this list is not entirely indicative of my whole year rather one tiny snapshot of many. I would like to see other lists, so drop me a line or tag me.
Alright then in no particular order here are 13 CD’s I really enjoyed:
Dent May – Do Things
Grizzly Bear – Shields
Avett Brothers – The Carpenter
Ben Folds – The Sound of the Life of the Mind
Coheed and Cambria – The Aftermath: Ascension
The Illegitimate Sons – American Music
The Lumineers – The Lumineers
Bloc Party - Four
Milo Greene – Milo Greene
Whitehorse – The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss
Danny Michel – Black Birds are Dancing Over Me
Ben Kweller – Go Fly a Kite
Gary Clark Jr - Blak and Blu
There was another CD I really liked, it was a compilation from my friend Andy called Big Bearded Brute, it was so great. Based on that compilation, seeing others’ top lists and hopefully a few future suggestions; I have some listening homework to do - but who's complaining.
I guess it’s handy that I am off work next week.
I will be back in a few weeks to resume my regular reviews, until then happy 2013!
...ps I am really annoyed that I cannot upload pictures on this blog today and the formatting has been pissing me off. I think it's a sign that it's time for me to go home.
