Apologies to the inconvenienced.

He was on official remixes of "Tambourine," "Beautiful Girls," "White Girl," and "Get Me Bodied," plus that remix of "Make Me Better" with Raekwon.

Artists I'm Deeply Shocked To See Polling (Apparently) No Votes At All Out Of 452 Lists: Joss Stone, Mitch Easter, Sinead O'Connor, Nick Drake.

Are we to assume, then, that Lucinda Williams is better than all of them?

Besides me, of course. Plus neither purchase advertising in US magazines, etc etc.

Of course like the day after I wrote this my friend made me listen to it (and of course I'd been avoiding it like the plague up to then because of the hype).

Then our lives forever shifted from pre-millenial tension to post millenial cluster-fuckery, and dancing became not something to do joyfully, but simply dancing to survive. There is a lot of anxiety in the beats. I don't see the dancing as joyful or carefree, but simply something to keep everything else at bay, the fear, the uncertainty, and I see it seaping into everything, now R&B. OR maybe everybody just wants to get there groove on again. Radio ain't the place to go anymore for music, so you hear new music in the clubs, and the clubs have to keep things dancing, and BAM! 4/4 R&B.

Seems so easy now for everyone to knock JM but there wasn't another record in 2007 that I listened to almost every day. I remember the day it was released I was very pleasantly surprised that LCD had moved forward so confidently from the first record. The fact that the live show blew my face off just confirmed how great SOS was.

Now if only my #2 of 07 had shown up in any poll: A Sunny Day In Glasgow.

I always thought they were saying she did, and was confused at what seemed like a strange compliment. Now I'm a little disappointed.
