bye bye 2005
As the clocks wind down, we boogie. This year, which still has some kick left, was worth rewinding. But, nostalgia wears funny clothes, so instead I want to direct you to the "Best Of..." list to your left. I tried to be diplomatic and fair: Jeezy ain't there, neither is Sufjan Stevens, but not because they aren't good but because I didn't listen to them. So, phooey. Like most things, its getting harder and harder to keep up with all the good stuff that comes out every year, from ticky-tack techno (Isolee) and thick microbeats (Matias Aguayo) to bulbous indie rock (Wolf Parade) and West Coast post-NWA streetness (The Game) to French noodling (Colleen): its been a great year. Don't worry.
Next year has already begun.
Here is to Brooklyn in 2006. To books not yet written.
And beards, ya'll!
