Is it obvious I don't care? All it means is I'm going to have to update a lot of stuff at work when people forget it's 2008 for about the first two months. BUT, because people do this, my music for 2007:
Albums (no order)
LCD Soundsystem (Sounds of Silver) –– Holy balls "Someone Great" is amazing. Oh, and the rest of it, too.
Battles (Mirrored) – Sexyness in really tall cymbol form.
Iron and Wine (The Shepherd's Dog) - Sam Beam goes full-band and it doesn't sound totally lame.
Future of the Left (Curses) – Though not out stateside yet, 2/3 of McLusky rock your face.
Les Savy Fav (Let's Stay Friends) – The coolest thing about this album is how understated it is.
Spoon (Ga x5) – Either "Finer Feelings" or the LCD Soundsystem song gets my vote for year's best.
Tom Waits (Orphans) – Technically, 2006. But three new discs from Waits is so sexy.
CYHSY (Some Loud Thunder) – Except for "Satan Said Dance", I think this lives up to the hype of the sophomore album
Daft Punk* (Alive 2007) - *Don't have the album, but saw it. Goddamn it was good.
Albums I listened to most this year
Wolf Parade – Apologies to the Queen Mary
Hold Steady – Boys and Girls in America
Thermals – The Blood, The Body, The Machine
Peter Bjorn John – Writer's Block. Fuck you. It's catchy.
Girl Talk – Night Ripper
Decemberists – The Crane Wife
Kinks – Village Green Preservation Society
Beach Boys – Pet Sounds
Daniel Johnston –– Welcome to my World
Atom and his Package – Redefining Music
Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Fugazi – The Argument
Jets to Brazil– – Orange Rhyming Dictionary
Man Man– – Six Demon Bag
The Streets – A Grand Doesn't Come for Free
Haven't Heard so Can't Be On The List
Dinosaur Jr.
Panda Bear
Okkervil River
Jay-Z
So there's that. I actually failed to see most every movie that came out in 2007, so not so much one of those lists. Turns out it takes a lot of effort to get off your ass, pay ten bucks, and sit in a theater. So I didn't. Enjoy the new year. Or something.
