Jackson's Top Ten (x 2)
Red Blondehead presents:
Jackson the Fantastic Bear's 2007 Top 10 (x 2) - straight from his honey-encrusted claws to your computer screens!
When Traci asked me if I wanted to do a write-up of my favorite albums of 2007, I didn’t even know where to start. I have listened to so much music this year that I couldn’t even remember what was released this year, let alone how much I liked it. So I did what needed to be done… I sorted my music by year, pulled out all the music from 2007, and listened to every single album again. So if the Red Blondehead ladies were wondering why the hell my list was taking so long, that’s why.
After my listening fest, I found myself split between a number of amazing pop records and an even longer list of experimental/electronic/noise/ambient music. I mean, how can you compare Jens Lekman with Boris? You just can’t. No way, no how. So, I made it easy on myself and made two lists that were, nonetheless, just as hard to narrow down.
Albums my father would wear earplugs to:
10. Jens Lekman - Night Falls Over Kortedala
Jens Lekman - If I Could Cry (it would feel like this)
9. Akron/Family - Love Is Simple
Akron/Family - Ed is a Portal
8. Prints - Prints
Prints - Blue Jay
7. Caribou - Andorra
Caribou - She's the One
Caribou - Melody Day
6. Beirut - The Flying Club Cup
Beirut - A Sunday Smile
5. Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
4. Panda Bear - Panda Bear
Panda Bear - Bros
3. Le Loup - The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations Millennium General Assembly
Le Loup - Canto Xxxiv
Le Loup - To The Stars! To The Night!
2. Low - Drums and Guns
1. LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
Albums that would give my father diarrhea:
10. Burial - Untrue
9. Andrew Pekler - Cue
8. Black Dice - Load Blown
7. Stars of the Lid - And the Refinement of Their Decline
6. Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
5. Wzt Hearts - Threads Rope Spell Making Your Bones
4. Battles - Mirrored
Battles - Race In
3. Boris with Michio Kurihara - Rainbow
2. The Field - From Here We Go Sublime
The Field - A Paw In My Face
1. Pantha Du Prince - This Bliss
Pantha Du Prince - Saturn Strobe
And as a bonus, Jackson did some tinkering on our banner to make it even more awesome!
