Heartland

This year's been filled with surf and garage rock, and more recently reggae. Good stuff, always helps to have one's horizons broadened.

the smartest thing I read in years

this is problably as farr I went this year clicky

I tend to listen to whole albums, rather than individual tracks (it's an OCD CD thing).

In terms of groups - Yat-Kha and Voltaire saw a lot of play time this year.

New discoveries (for me) Rammstein and Laibach made a welcome appearance. Likewise Wolfsheim, and to a lesser degree, Clan of Xymox and Dresden Dolls.

The new album I've listened to most this year is probably the Nephilim's 'Mourning Sun'.

Getting heavy rotation on The Corleone jukebox this year has been;

The Editors - The Back Room
Neverland (A lifetime)
The re-issue of FALAA
Scratch Perry - Time Boom X
FOTN - DawnRazor
Baby Beethovan.
A lot of Echo & The Bunnymen (courtousy of Glasgows finest)
& a catchy accoustic version of Up The Junction by the bloke from Squeeze. [/b]

Most played of 2007?
Usual Sisters gubbins, and the stuff I download from Dimeadozen!

Very very good

Don't have a clue what I listened to mostly on other media as I really just listen and listen to all music so it merges with my life

and Lucretia, also full l.

Yes, same for me...

Ooh, last time I'd forgotten about Greg Dulli's latest single:
The Twilight Singers feat Mark Lanegan: Live with me (actually a cover of Massive Attack's latest song).

It was only released at the end of november, but it's a hit on these Jamaican shores! Massive airplay!! Classic to be!!!
