telling two to jump three

2011

2011-12-19T12:43:00.000-04:00

No books, film, or television lists this year. Only music.

Ten I liked, in abc order:

bon iver, bon iver

bonnie 'prince' billy, wolfroy goes to town

das racist, relax

explosions in the sky, take care, take care, take care

david lynch, crazy clown time

radiohead, the king of limbs

r.e.m., collapse into now

the roots, undun

the rural alberta advantage, departing

tv on the radio, nine types of light

ten disappointments:

wilco, the whole love
fleet foxes, helplessness blues
feist, metals
my morning jacket, circuital
bright eyes, the people's key
beastie boys, hot sauce committee part 2
red hot chili peppers, i'm with you
iron & wine, kiss each other clean
the strokes, angles
death cab for cutie, codes and keys

five that fell in between:

jay-z/kanye west, watch the throne
paul simon, so beautiful or so what
wild flag, wild flag
ryan adams, ashes and fire
eddie vedder, ukulele songs

one by a band I cannot, nor will I ever, abide:

the decemberists, the king is dead

IN LIFE - [ENHANCED CONTENT]

Over the course of this watershed year, I photoblogged 365 images, covering events personal, professional, spiritual, and global, resulting in a kind of abstract map of the soul, which, until now, was left largely up to interpretation. By way of refelecting on my past year, I have elected to make a practice in this, the weird, sleepy, neutral period between Christmas and New Year's, of leaving "enhanced comments" on many of these posts. While they are surely of limited interest to anyone but myself, perhaps they will provide entertainment and illumination to those of you who have expressed interest in this blog over the past year. Start here to take the journey.
