My Final Top Whatever Lists of 2007
POSTED FRIDAY 01.04.08
I swore I was going to include books and DVDs, but there were just too damned many that I can't remember them off the top of my head. Maybe in the comments section I'll get around to it.
And the records I'm most looking forward to in 2008? The new Mastodon, Torche, Atlas Sound, The Selmanaires, Harvey Milk and R.E.M. (the songs I heard from the Dublin live shows, at least) are being awaited with baited breath. Holy shit, all of those are either local or semi-local! Am I a lucky Georgia boy or what? Also stoked to hear the Volcano Suns reissues that (I hear) Taang! is reissuing. Also, I'm also looking forward to the "official" Replacements reunion. Let's just say that MBV will need somebody to play alongside at all the festivals this summer.
