End of Year Already? Err... Yeah! Album and Song Top Ten Begins!
December 11th 2006 23:03
PM is, as usual, unbelievably sorry for any lack of posting over the last few days. Trust me, uni stuff has been piling up as fast as the pile of empty cups and biopot carcasses strewn about my hole. Thankfully, it'll all be over soon and normal service can resume, yeah? Yeah! So, in the spirit of being dull, lazy and nicking other people's ideas, PM is going to start posting a top ten albums and songs of the year. Starting today!
In case you're wondering (and chances are that you're not), I had to compile one or two end-of-year sorts of lists for a couple of different places. The first of which, Treble, worked on a writer-voting system and BARELY ANY OF MY CHOICES GOT IN! But y'know, go there (here) anyway for the first chunk of their song list. Just wait till my choices pop up nearer the top... and I had to pick 50 albums and 50 songs for Treble... grr... not really, I love those guys.
ANYWAY. We'll get going on these lists and that. And to clarify, it will be very sporadic. Some posts will have songs and albums, some won't, it could get messy. So apologies there.
Album No. 10: Tunng - Comments of the Inner Chorus (Full Time Hobby)
Tunng have, with 'Comments...', created an enduringly lovable work. There's been an awful lot written about them this year, so there's not a great deal of point in trying to say anything new. Instead, I'll tell you a story! AT this year's Green Man Festival, after emerging shattered from a small tent populated by a man covered in blue hands (thanks Misty's), PM crested the hill back into the main arena in a dreadful state. Despite having had a wonderful live experience, the combination of mud, sun, flat cider, little sleep, medieval prog and the nagging suspicion I might fall over, I was catapulted into one of the greatest moods of my life when the lilt of Tunng's 'Woodcat' sprung over the hill like its hare protagonist and had its way with me. Literally one of the loveliest live experiences of my life. Cheers, Tunng!

As for end-of-year lists, I was considering doing one, but I'm way too lazy to do it. I put enough work into the monthly mixtapes to bother with a top fifty album list.
