My apathy is immeasurable. Lost part of my vision and a good part of my heart (the latter is more of a metaphysical thingy) and had no desire to search for new music with the same vigor as previous years. I’m sure there was plenty of great whatever out there, but I could barely give a poop. Poop. See what I did there?
Here’s some stuff I liked:
THE BEVIS FROND – Example 22
STICK IN THE WHEEL – From Here
GIANT SAND – Heartbreak Pass
YO LA TENGO – Stuff Like That There
KURT VILE – blieve I’m goin (deep) down…
THE EX – At Bimhuis
THE MUFFS – Whoop Dee Doo
THE POP GROUP – Citizen Zombie
THEE OH SEES – Mutilator Defeated At Last
That’s all I got for new stuff. Some great reissues:
SUN CITY GIRLS – Torch Of The Mystics
VA – Ork Records: New York, New York
JEAN PAUL SARTRE EXPERIENCE – I Like Rain
CHRIS KNOX – Seizure
JULIAN COPE – World Shut Your Mouth/Fried
JACKSON C FRANK – The Complete Recordings
PERE UBU – Elitism For The People
