Oh my world, you really can thrill me
Feel good hits of the 3rd of January, 2007:
Six By Seven - "New Year"*
Tamas Wells - "The Opportunity Fair"
TV on the Radio - "Wolf Like Me"**
My Majestic Star - "You Greet Me With Night Laughter"
Low - "Violent Past"***
Tindersticks - "Chilitetime"
Bloc Party - "Song For Clay (Disappear Here)"****
Massive Attack - "Live With Me"
Bertine Zietlitz - "Obsession"
Richard Hawley - "The Ocean"
*(Yes, my traditional New Year's Day airing of one of my favourite songs ever.)
**(I never came around to most of the album (and some of the comparisons people have made strike me as truly bizarre), but I did finally begin to realise the glory of this single. Someone wrote that it is a great getting-ready-to-go-out song, and they were precisely right.)
***(Holy shit is the forthcoming Drums and Guns fantastic. I thought I loved The Great Destroyer (and I did), but at this early date I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Drums and Guns will be in my top 3 for 2007, possibly even #1.)
****(I'm not entirely sure yet, but I think I might like the next Bloc Party album. Listening to it while circling around the wrong route on the bus might have helped, weirdly enough.)

I can't wait for the real Bloc Party, the good quality one.
Also, the new version of "Murderer" on this Low is quite cool, but bursting my eardrums via Bose, as is the rest of the album. Constant thick, invasive but still cool humming!

...new version? There was an old version?
I listened to Drums and Guns on headphones for the first time yesterday, and I love the way all the vocals come from the right side, although I don't know if that'll be in the final mix.
