really this year have been musically speaking depressing, i have, when possible, really been with my mind elsewhere (no, i don't take drugs...), like on Studio One clash in the '60, or at the Hacienda in the '80, or listening to jazz at the Vanguard in the '50, or to classic and avantgarde disco tanks to the Gallery or the Paradise in the '70. I have been even on one of those dangerous, politically and anger and drug filled concerto of italian progressive in '72. If this look alike i'm loosing my edge, yes, this year i have mostly bought or listened to old music, thank also to the great reissue almost everything market around (sadly that 'almost everything seems for now exclude all that great english breakbeat and belgian hardcore, but wait another 5 years and maybe Soul Jazz will think about).
the only two '06 records that i bought so make my list for the best of '06! i have in mind a list for the best reissues and comps of '06 that is much more long, and like all of this best post probably really boring, except for me that i have always loved this kind of lists as a way to find what of interesting i didn't catch.
Scott Walker - the Drift
Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped
showing how old you are.... listening only to old farts, scott is about 60 years old and sonics are going to their third decade of music... and neither of this two records, as excellent as they are, brings any news on the sonic or conceptual palette... like, they could have been issued in 1986 or 2016 without sounding that much different!! like any great ac/dc record.
your fave?
