Einhverntímann hótaði ég því að birta hér lista yfir bestu lög síðasta árs að mati ritstjóra. Hef ég nú loksins tekið mig til, safnað saman slatta af efni, og birti hér með. Sökum umfangs verð ég að skipta þessu niður í tvær eða jafnvel þrjár færslur og lítur sú fyrsta út einhvernveginn svona: A.C. Newman - The Heartbreak Rides Einsktaklega viðkunnanlegt lag frá forsprakka The New Pornographers. Tekið af annari sólóplötu kappans sem kom út á árinu og nefnist Get Guilty . A.C. Newman - The Heartbreak Rides [...]
There is almost no information on Nesey Gallons anywhere on the interweb next to the fact they are from Maine (which is somewhat strange) and they've toured and played shows with some Elephant 6 bands (which isn't strange at all considering the sound of the band).

I'm no lame fidelity fanatic but I do like my music to be of a certain quality. If it's not 192kbps (and preferably 256kpbs) then I don't really want to hear it….unless it's REALLY good. If it's THAT good then I'll take the song in any form, even as a horrible radio quality MySpace of YouTube rip. Below are five songs that I am totally in love with that I could find NOWHERE online, except on YouTube or MySpace. I've ripped them and I'm posting them. If you're the artist behind one [...]
Easily one of the most influential, strange, and reclusive collection of bands in independent music, the Athens, GA based pysch-rock-folk Elephant 6 Collective will be assembling several key members for a tour this October. Described by Neutral Milk Hotel member, Music Tapes Frontman Julian Koster as "a big orchestra, variety show, silly happy thing" (via Pitchfork ), the bill will celebrate of the music of Olivia Tremor Control , Circulatory System , The Music Tapes , Elf Power , The Gerbils , Scott Spillane , Nana Grizol , Nesey Gallons, [...]
