Countdown
It's that time of years when all the best-of lists appear. There's a fellow blipper running through his albums of the year right now (and so far I've not actually heard either of his featured albums, so go have a peek, maybe listen to summat new like I'm just about to). Anyway, as I post a music link each day and have been known to buy the occasional long playing record or compact disc I'll be starting my own top 10 albums countdown soon (like you couldn't have guessed that. Predictable, me ?). And, as I go to the cinema a fair bit too, there'll be top 10 films as well. One album, one film per day starting on the 15th, ending on the 24th. That's it tho', I'm not about to do the top 10 swims, top 10 demolition sites in West Edinburgh or owt like that. Sticking to what I know.
Talking of music, its all very well listening to astral jazz and being all entranced by the latest breed of abstract minimal dub techno merchants, but sometimes I quite like hearing somebody new who sounds pretty much exactly like the stuff I used to listen to 2o or so years ago. Very derivative, very studied, but I do like it. As Mark E Smith once famously wrote, "Notebooks out plagiarists!" This lot have been scribbling away, that's for sure.
