505

It's not as long as it once would have been, but it's always nice to see glenn mcdonald tackle the year in music (and in movies, too). I also find it kind of comforting that his top two (three?) was exactly what I expected.

And of course, almost as an aside he manages to get the best summation of Susumu Yokota's recent work in there too:

What hip-hop is to a pile of James Brown LPs, Symbol is to a hard-drive full of John Cage, Meredith Monk and everything Romantic that Naxos ever burned.
