2006 : let's go

hell.o

been a few weeks so thought i'd better fill some of the void.

been very little to report music wise other than to say that in the last 2 weeks of 2005 i came to realise that art bruts album was totally ace in its 'fall vs pulp'-esque insight to the whole rock-n-roll charade, and that goldfrapps 'supernature' album was one of the years finest albums and should have been included in any such rundown.

but as ever, the end of the holiday season brings cheer. for it's time for sales. yes - stock clearance, where you get to pick up all those non-cool albums at knock down prices.

so far, the list includes such so-called atrocities as linkin park (jay-z mashup album, 'collision course'), limp bizkit (remix album + 'results may vary'), kelis ('tasty'), ashlee simpson, chemical brothers ('come with us'), bowie ('club bowie' - which includes some so called danced up versions of his classics - worthy for david guettas pounding revision of 'heroes' alone). a varied bunch admittedly, but thats the whole point !

loving the angst overload of fred and his soggy bizkit and the fullon big tranceified beat of the brothers, not felt kelis yet (ahem), and had little time for polished pop so far(i'm sure ashlee's time will be just around the corner).

i guess i should mention that the 'to be reviewed' pile is a new mogwai single, 'friend of the night'. now, i have never really felt connected with the whole epic post-rock thing before, but the press so far on the bands stuff has me somewhat gagging at the bit. fingers crossed.

and so to the future ! i have no idea what 2006 is going to bring to ireallylovemusic as there is sweet fa in the pipeline, so let's just kick back and enjoy the ride.

crack'on people. crack'on
