I loved it Joachim, and yes, somebody had to say it.  |

| From the guy who thinks Iggy Pop is the greatest singer in the history of music? |

I too was a little puzzled by the choice of his favourite records. Maybe he's digging their authenticity.

Moderately cute, but that emoto-bloat Hunter S. Thompson writing style is as easy to fake as a million howling vampire bats ripping through the thinning fles... oh. Sorry. His site is called "Pointless Endeavor", and he has apparently assigned himself the task of listening to a bunch of crap music that he really hates, as some kind of springboard or vaulting pole to give his "oh-god-everything-sux" brand of nihilism a little better bounce. A bit further down the guy projectile-splorts all over Lou Reed, apparently his inability to find any music he likes dates all the way back to 1989. But Lou Reed saved him! And now Fearless Leader is dead, and:

Boo Hoo hoo. Waah! He's actually reminiscent of the ol' cowpokes here who "toon" into the ever-metastasizing television "country music" award shows, surely not really expecting to hear 90 minutes of pedal steel guitar solos? But rather, a chance to bone up their cut 'n' paste technique, as they can surely just go back to last year's posts, and the year before, and the year before, tracing all the way back through the process whereby the monolithic "THEY" perverted "real" country music into a quivering, sputtering glob of dripping feces-scented ear-poiso... oh. Sorry. There I go again.
2013 may just turn into the year where I finally realized there is just too much great music being created nowadays for me to keep track of, much less learn something. Anybody who can post a "best of 2013 list" without even noticing "Traces of You" by Anoushka Shankar... girl's ripping breaks over changes with all the authority of early Knopfler or mid-Bloomfield or even - The Good Jerry - on a buzz-free, apparently chromatic-fretted sitar?!? Never been done before... Too bad the baby spiders ate Mr. Mocky's brain, maybe he could've been saved again.  |

Oviously not true, these are his favourite records from 2013.
