QUICK UPDATE
In lieu of some design updates which I originally thought I would get to in January (of 2006!); I feel like I should add something. But before that, I must say that javascript is pretty fun. I also want to thank the good people that make these things open source.
So for the sake of typing, here are some new releases of 2007 that I have enjoyed and would whole-heartedly recommend:
BILL CALLAHAN - Woke on a Whaleheart
ANDREW DOUGLASS ROTHBARD - Abandoned Meander: Mass distribution this year.
RAMSES III - Honey Rose EP
ALESSANDRO STEFANA - Poste e Telegrafi :Amazing guitar record!!!
STARS OF THE LID - And Their Refinement of the Decline
TIMES NEW VIKING - Present the Paisley Reich
PANTHA DU PRINCE - This Bliss
CIRCLE - Tyrant
POLE - Steingarten: This will undoubtedly sport my favorite album artwork this year. See for yourself below. His first three records were essentially one solid primary color each. They were also three spectacular minimal electronic dub records. This new artwork captures the disparity in the music nicely.
Singles worth mentioning:
AIR - Mer du Japon
GRINDERMAN - No Pussy Blues: Utterly kick-ass.
JOANNA NEWSOM - Colleen: From the fabulously titled Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band EP
DEERHOOF - +81
