Hi all. And a happy new year to you.
I’m writing this in my den – the study/studio/mix room I’m building in the house I bought with Mel. With the move taking up so much time, I’m aware that things have been slow around here of late, and with much home-making/furniture-building chores still to do, I’m only cautiously optimistic that’s going to change in the immediate future. But still, I love doing this and I enjoyed it this year, particularly until around September when things started to get stressful, so there’s no danger of me stopping any time soon!
Once again, here’s a round-up of some favourite things from the blog this year. Some of these have gotten some decent traction, others less so, but I’m picking on the basis of what I enjoyed writing and what I’m still proud of now. If some of these passed you by at the time, you might find some of them interesting.
The Sound of Aimee Mann, part two
Give Some More to the Bass Player , Part 1: Bullet Proof… I Wish I Was – Radiohead
OK Computer is 20 Part 2 – Guitars
Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter – Joni Mitchell (because no year is complete without something by Joni)
Have a great new year, whatever you’re doing. See you soon!
