In giro nelle settimane scorse avrete visto un sacco di Top Ten lists dell'anno: i migliori dischi, i migliori film, i migliori libri, ecc. Forse avrete anche visto diverse Top ten lists delle Top ten lists, cioè liste delle migliori dieci liste pubblicate in giro. Ma forse non avete ancora visto la Top Ten of Top Ten of Top Ten list di David Weinberger , che elenca le liste di liste di liste. Ne mancano altre 9, poi possiamo passare al prossimo livello.

If you don't know Jamie Strong, you probably know his label, Innovative Leisure, which is home to Khanni el Khatib, the Allah Las, Nick Waterhouse, and more! He took time out of his schedule to tell us about his top five albums of 2011. HANNI EL KHATIB- WILL THE GUNS COME OUT One of the most unique voices and albums I've heard in years. JAMES BLAKE - JAMES BLAKE The Bon Iver [...]

For the foodie in your life, check out this roundup of some of my own favorite kitchen gadgets and accessories. 10. Mortar and Pestle Way more old school than an electronic spice grinder, a mortar and pestle adds a DIY feel to the kitchen. I use mine for grinding cloves, muddling mint for mojitos, and unleashing pent up aggression. They come in all shapes and sizes (mine is tiny, proportional to the size of my kitchen), and are made of everything from wood to marble. I [...]

As we trundle imperceptibly closer to the frothing climax of ANBAD's 2011 Top Ten, the bands are getting weirder, more coiling, and more devious in nature. Just like capitalism, the closer you get to that top 5%, the more sly and crafty it's inhibitors are. ANBAD: you'll come for the bands, but stay for the politics. Don't forget to check out the runners up ( Parts One and, indeed, Two ), as well as the bands who are ranked from 10-6 . #5 - [...]

If you missed them, here's Part 1 and Part 2 of the list of bands who didn't quite make the Top Ten... Sifting through the hundreds of bands who were splurged all over ANBAD is a task which is part edifying pleasure and part brutal exposure of this writer's foibles at any one period throughout the year. Not many bands have 'aged' badly in the months since they were first exposed in breathless terms (though some are there, if you're inclined to find them). If anything, revisiting them has been affirmative: [...]

Nell'ultimo viaggio fatto a Barcellona (il primo per inciso da turista) passando per Gracia (che sempre per inciso è forse la parte che ho amato di più della città) mi sono fermato in un negozietto, di quelli che se li vedi da fuori e hai un minimo di animo nerd ci entri se lo vedi da un chilometro. Diciamo che tra Star Wars e oggettistica Mad Men oriented (nel senso di stile e 502s) se la gioca molto ma molto bene. Lì ho preso in mano un libro che ipoteticamente ho sempre sperato di avere. Voi umani normali [...]

My picks for the ten best records of 2010 . Better late than never, no? LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening (James Murphy, genius) Kvelertak - Kvelertak (the metal to rule all metals) Wovenhand - The Threshingfloor (badass Christian music) VA - Pomegranates: Persian Pop, Funk, Folk and Psych of the 60s and 70s Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty (Kanye who?)

Hey, maybe while you're out in the woods you guys could...you know...find a GUITAR!? MAYBE!? I was taking my lunch break today, reading that abysmal article in the LA Weekly about Godspeed You! Black Emperor (really, Weekly? Post-Rock hasn't been relevant in almost a decade and you still can't seem to come up with a definition of it?), when I started getting a bunch of Tweets asking if I'd heard the new Radiohead album yet. Uh…why should I care about a new Radiohead album? They lost me with Hail [...]

Thanks to everyone who has commented on and shared the link to that White Stripes post I made yesterday. I'm happy it created some dialog, and I'm even happier it wasn't perceived as being a take-down piece slamming the band for sucking. I don't think the White Stripes suck, I just don't see why it's big news they have called it quits. It's hard to be moved by a band quitting when you don't quite understand their appeal. Yesterday's post and its responses have inspired me. What bands other than the White Stripes have achieved great notoriety while [...]
The art of the cover version as stripped down reconstruction. In which stiff upper lip English public school takes on Atlanta GA's funkiest and comes home with a surprising away point. In fact, the Flying Lizards were most famous for their 1979 chart hit cover of 'Money (That's What I Want)', dismantled and then reassembled in similar robotic fashion to 'Sex Machine'. But it's the much less famous and far more difficult to find, James Brown cover that demonstrates the art of the Flying Lizards cover version at its best. [...]

A few days ago my favorite website The Frisky ran an article entitled 10 Bad News Dudes I Shouldn't Be Attracted To . The premise was that the author, Amelia McDonell-Parry, would list a number of men that society would ordinarily deem as unattractive. Perhaps it is a physical unattractiveness, or maybe a mental or emotional unattractiveness, but either way no ordinary person would ever really want someone with those qualities. And yet for some reason there's an underlying feeling of hotness or intrigue that takes hold when you flirt with what is taboo. For [...]

It's a new year, I've waited seven whole days since 2011 began…I think it's time to make fun of The Frisky again. To be fair, I've taken it easy on the ladies who write for that wretched magazine ever since I partied with them in October. I guess there was an implied "truce" in my being invited to the party, but as we all know, truces never last long. And when I first spied this morning's 10 New Years Resolutions Every Man Should Make article, penned by none other than the chief crazy-woman of The Frisky, Amelia [...]
