Last year was pretty damn good for new music. Ok, maybe it wasn’t all new music, but it was new to me. Highlights have to include (but are certainly not limited to): Sigur Ros, Ryan Adams, Doves, Starsailor (who my sister intoduced me to), Royksopp, The Strokes and Queen Adreena. (oh and somewhat in a different vein Avril Lavigne and Vanessa Carlton)
aswell as new albums from longtime favourites; The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Garbage, Moby, JJ72 and Bruce Springsteen.
and finally greatest hits from: Bowie, The Rolling Stones, U2, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana and as mentioned recently Bjork
Stuff I’m looking out for includes: The Coral, The Flaming Lips and Sleater-Kinney. Of course the first big hit of the year is no doubt going to be Electic 6’s Danger High Voltage and perhaps behind this disco’s carcasss shall be dragged back in. It is not a bad tune by any means but I think it might get old quickly.
