I had to hide myself in a book
To keep your love away
The pages worn with all of my faults
The cover torn away
I gave my life to the Water God
For an apprenticeship
Answering the mail and his door
For nyads, hyppogryphs, after...
Midwinter Banquet, he shook his head
"Sadly, no,
I can reverse the river's flow,
but I can never send you home."
I had to hide myself in a book
to keep your love away
When you read me, I get to look
Back at my younger days

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But youll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of brixton
The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell
You see, he feels like ivan
Born under the brixton sun
His game is called survivin
At the end of the harder they come
You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the black maria
Goodbye to the brixton sun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of brixton
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of brixton
Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin
As in heaven as in hell
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But youll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of brixton

ANNIE CLARK (ST. VINCENT)Dirty Projectors: Rise Above
Having no personal connection to the Black Flag record of the same name, the one that this record is "based" on, totally makes no difference. The timeliness of "Police Story" could make me cry. Really creative and moving.
Fridge: The Sun
Friends since they were 11, Kieran Hebden, Adem Ilham and Sam Jeffers took 6 years away from Fridge to work on their other awesome projects. Hebden = Four Tet. Adem = Adem. Fridge have returned and the harmonies and rhythms on this record snake around my brain like an arm tattoo. Really wonderful.
James Blackshaw: The Cloud of Unknowing
Completely and profoundly beautiful acoustic guitar compositions by a uniquely talented young man. Pitchfork compared his guitar to a symphony and I couldn't agree more. Inspiring.
Robert Wyatt: Comicopera
This is a dim-lighting, glass of wine in hand, record-player kind of record. I adore that you can hear his whole life in his voice.
Michael Cashmore: The Snow Abides
Current 93 composer Cashmore + Antony vocals = epic.
Animal Collective: Strawberry Jam / Panda Bear: Person Pitch
Major year for these gents. Our modern age innovators. It's hard to describe the euphoria felt when hearing bits of both of these records. Standouts: "Fireworks" (Strawberry Jam) and "Bros" (Person Pitch).
M.I.A.: Kala
M.I.A. is radical. I mean, actually radical. This is another in the category of conscientious objection you can shake your ass to.
Michael Garrick Trio: Moonscape (Reissue)
Totally incredible obscure British jazz group from the 60s. Thanks to the ever-appreciated efforts of Jonny Trunk of Trunk Records, this record finally again sees the light of day. Recently played "Sketches of Israel" on my iPod while bicycling around autumnal NYC. Highly, highly recommended activity.
We All Together: The Singles (Reissue)
What's not to love about these perfect psych pop gems from a little group of Wings-loving Peruvians. Good times.

How has Neil Young's career survived decades? He's that good.

M.I.A.: Kala
OWEN PALLETT, FINAL FANTASYI liked DJ WEEZ-L Instrumentals, which is almost as good as a new Max Tundra record. And Simon Bookish's Trainwreck/Raincheck, technically two years old, but just released, it sounds like John Cage lectures accompanied by endless layers of FM synthesis.
I liked a lot of really ham-fisted electronic music where you can hear all the edits, like M.I.A.'s Kala where she just copies and pastes everything, or Jens Lekman's Night Falls Over Kortedala, but better than those two is Nifty's A Sparrow, A Sparrow, which completely does away with any finesse and just sounds romantic and perfect.
I cherry-picked tracks from the almost-identical Mika's Cartoon Motion and Patrick Wolf's The Magic Position into one fabulous disc.
Prog/r&b bands like the Dirty Projectors and the Luyas really do it for me, augmented by Dave Longstreth's clothes sense and Jessie Stein's head-banging.
I hate the song "Declare Independence", but other than that Volta is the best Björk record since Post, and you're all asshats to think otherwise. You just want her to be digestible. I want to hear her make an all foghorn and ocean record.
Year's best album: Panda Bear! That or perhaps CocoRosie, who I can't listen to but I like reading the lyric book and looking at their promo material.
Other choice picks: Yeasayer's EP, The Dinomighters, Adrian Orange & Her Band, Torngat, Nico Muhly, Doveman, Sandro Perri, Brian Joseph Davis, Deerhunter's EP.

Favorite Record/Live show of 2007:
Phosphorescent: Pride
After hearing praise for the alt-country musings of Phosphorescent, I finally caught a recent Boston show. Matthew Houck (aka Phosphorescent), complete with Manson beard and eyeliner, enraptured the intimate audience. Phosphorescent started with "A Picture of Our Torn Up Praise". The harmonies on that song moved the show into the memorable category. I haven't been able to take the record off since and am living in a spectral reverb dream populated by country western ghosts and waltzing ladies. It's winter soon and to me there is no more perfect listening than the saddest album ever for the coming months.
Favorite Chick Rock:
Tegan and Sara's new record: Also my favorite obsession/crush song for "Back in Your Head".

İngiliz mucizesi Goldfrapp ajansa A&E adlı single'ın kapak fotosunu yolladı. Şubat 25'de çıkacak Seventh Tree adını taşıyan albümden ilk single A&E Şubat 12'de gün yüzü görecek. Kapak fotosunda inanılmaz seksi ve buruk çıkan Alison Goldfrapp daha evvelden bahsettiği gibi yeni halini şarkılara da akıtıyor. Felt Mountain sonrası glam ve elektroclash'a fazlaca kendilerini kaptıran ekip Seventh Tree'de köklerine geri dönüyor. Tam da onları sevdiğimiz hallerine. Alison yineyeniyeniden vokali ile çarpıyor.
A&E, Alison'ın makyajsız vokali ve single kapak fotosu ile yaklaşan yılın en heyecan verici single'larından birisi. Ve, tabii ki Seventh Tree 2008'in en iyi albümlerinden.

Bjork gitgide matruşkalaşıyor. İçinden kimi zaman yürek hoplatan bir parçasını çıkarıyor, kimi zamansa kusmuğu fışkırıyor. Son albüm Volta, şarkıcının yediğini istifrasıyla sonuçlanmış. Herkesin kabul edeceği üzre müzik arenasının en ayrıksı isimlerinden olan Bjork, bundan aldığı destekle her seferinde kendini yıkıp yıkıp inşa ediyor. Onun derdi de güzel albümler yapmak değil, tuhaf şarkılar yaratmak aslına bakarsanız -tam da kendisi gibi, tam da kendisini ararken karşılaştığı silüeti gibi, tam da bu görüntüden duyduğu tedirginlik gibi.
Bjork yolunu işbu tedirginliğin vermiş olduğu keşif ve cesaretle çiziyor. Çizdiği labirentin çıkış noktasını da kendisinden başkası bulamıyor. Şarkıcının Volta adlı albümünden Declare Independence şarkısı albümün en ayrıksı işiydi takdir edersiniz ki. Nine Inch Nails --

Bjork matruşkasından daha ne personalar çıkacak bilimez, ama uyguladığı bu formülle kendi ipini kendisinin çektiğini yavaş yavaş anlaması an meselesi. Evet, Volta, Bjork işlerine nazaran vasat kalan bir albüm ama yarıştaki diğer rakipleri göz önüne aldığımızda liderliğini bir süre daha kimseye kaptırmayacağı da kesin. Tabii insanoğlu bu duygusuzluk kraliçesine daha ne kadar dayanabilir, alın size taş gibi bir muamma.

During the night of August 9, 1967, Halliwell bludgeoned the 34-year-old Orton to death with nine hammer blows to the head, and then committed suicide with an overdose of 22 Nembutal tablets washed down with the juice from a tin of grapefruit. Investigators determined that it was Halliwell who died first because Orton's body was still warm.
The Sunday Times magazine issue November 22, 1970 reported that on Saturday, August 5, four days before the murder, Joe went to the Chelsea Potter pub in the King's Road. He met friend Peter Nolan who later gave evidence at the inquest that Orton told him that he had another boyfriend, that he wanted finally to get rid of Halliwell but didn't know how to go about it.
The last person to speak to Halliwell was his doctor. He had arranged for a psychiatrist to see him the following morning. He spoke to Halliwell three times on the telephone. The last call was at 10 o'clock. Halliwell took the psychiatrist's address and said, "Don't worry, I'm feeling better now. I'll go and see the doctor tomorrow morning."
Halliwell had felt increasingly threatened and isolated by Orton's success, and had come to rely on anti-depressants and barbiturates. The bodies were discovered the following morning when a chauffeur arrived to take Orton to a meeting to discuss a screenplay he had written for the Beatles.
Halliwell left a suicide note, informing police that all would be explained if they read Orton's diaries, "especially the latter part". The diaries have since been published, but do not offer the promised insight. Oddly, the last eight days of Orton's life are missing, believed to have been taken by the Police.
