My Life In Reverse: Love Notes, Et Al



1: Deerhunter/Atlas Sound, 1,138
2: Lil' Wayne, 878
3: Guided by Voices, 579
4: Bob Dylan, 553
5: Nine Inch Nails, 486

Guided By Voices appear, I believe, due to their consistent meat and two veg indieness (and me owning like nine of their 20-30 song albums), but the other four are there as great representations of the strange divergent craziness of my headspace over this past bizarre year. Future-thinking indie rock noise, thank-god-you're-alive-hiphop, songwriterly introspection, and headbanging take-the-bull-by-the horns riffage.

The last year has been both strange and great, and these artists tell the story of the all over-the-map places I've been. The only thing missing is the steady steel pulse of reggae, and that's mostly because it has only come on recently and I've mostly consumed it via multi-artist comps. But I'm sure it will have its space when I check in next year. I look forward to finding out.
