Hahahaha, I KNOW. I read the whole thing and then was just like, “Wait, wait…WAIT. REALLY?!”

Pretty good.

I also really liked Joachim Petri’s but more so for the music than the belly laughs.

Wow, going through this list I have looked up sooo much new stuff I need to digest, but here is my top 25 list that I’ve boiled down from the around 70 I started with in December… A lot of the more electronic albums got pushed out of the top list in the process, but I’ll see if I can find my whole list and post it as well.

EBM especially, although people seem to have a tenuous grasp on what actually makes an EBM track.

Gotta love the man.

Out of what came out this year, I probably listened to Pendant’s Make me Know You Sweet about 100+ times easily. The perfect soundtrack to my day job, no real sense of temporal place, the tracks just seem to flow and hang in the air. The tracks could have been hours long and I wouldn’t have minded one iota. Pure perfection in my book.
