End of year music retrospectives
always freak me out. Every year I think “oh hey I seem pretty good at this
knowing-about-people-what-do-music business” and then I am bombarded by
everyone’s top 10 songs, top 10 bands, top 10 thing people have said about
music and bands, etc., of the year and I realise I have no idea what people are
talking about. Earlier today all round awesome dude and good music knower JoeSparrow posted his end of year post and I realised I had no
idea who Alt J is/are. I mean I have heard about Alt J and have heard the words
muttered breathlessly on Radio 6 but I couldn’t actually tell you if I had
listened to any music by them.
This is really what stops me
talking about music on this blog. If you remember when I started this thing I
was going to post some new music every week and then I was like “FUCK I KNOW
NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC AND THEY WILL FINALLY FOUND OUT” so I just brushed it away
and pretended it had never happened. I also started doing a podcast which has
allowed me to make fun of bad music and be all “listen to this thing I like”
which has somewhat filled the hole. But I’m not doing a podcast episode for a
week or so and I’ve lost my outlet.
Anyway enough of this rambling
introduction the point is I’m going to post some of my music highlights for the
year. JOIN ME.
