This was the month I finally lost patience with trawling the classic rock best-of lists, weary of the diminishing returns on listening to the 18th best album of 1972, the 3rd best Grateful Dead album.
So now what? Desperation leads to following Spotify accidents, like looking up an old DOOM album and finding a similarly-titled track by some kickass Sweedish hip hop dudes, which got me thinking international, which lead to New Zealand week, capping with a happy also-named-The-Gordons bluegrass accident. The future is now motherfuckers.
Album of the Month
Ty Segall - Manipulator - Still love this dude. Kicks his shitkicking garage rock mastery to the curb, brews up a sprawling, hypnotic glam-rock masterpiece instead. Still rules.
Also Recommended!
Lonnie Mack - The Wham of that Memphis Man! - Can't get enough rollicking rockabilly, this was a great surprise find.
Sjukstugan - Rap pa Svenska - Who knew? Them Swedes can sure bang a bangin consonant-heavy syllable together.
The Gordons - The Gordons - Major highlight of New Zealand week, these guys make rock and roll with that kind of couldntgiveafuck energy I love.
Wire - Chairs Missing - Still some value in the old lists! Thrilling, knotty, hitchy postpunk.
