PATRICK CARNEY best of 2007

Jay Retard- Blood Visions – My friend Dave who owns a record store in akron called square records told me to buy this record in september and it kinda blew my mind and then dry humped it.

Daft Punk – Alive – low pass filters make me feel at ease with the world. seriously. no really they do.

LCD Sound System – All My Friends (John Cale Version) – i really like this song, a lot. i got into john cale’s solo records earlier this year and this is just as good as any song off of vintage violence.

Dinosaur Jr. – Beyond – This was the first band i ever saw in concert back in 1994. it was also the loudest band i have ever seen. this record is amazing and so is their live show. we toured with them this summer and i was pretty much too nervous to talk to them the whole time.

Times New Viking – Paisley Reich – This band is from columbus and their records sound like teengenerate and beat happening. They give me a fun type of
headache. it reminds me of listening to fifth generation dubbed tapes of slanted and enchanted.

The Strange Boys – Demo – My friend greg is friends with these guys or something. he let me borrow this recording and i really am into it. the singer sounds like a human sized elf.

Lindstrom and Prins Thomas – Reinterpretations – this music makes me feel slightly more fit.

Justice – Justice – When i’m chain smoking and driving i like to pretend i like to dance.

Gui Boratto – Chromophobia – my brother mike told me about this guy (he pretty much keeps me in the loop. with out him i would still be listening to the same stuff i was when i was 18). i like this for the same reason i like justice i suppose. there is something about fuzzy synthesizers and simple beats…modern caveman music maybe?

Black Lips – Good Bad Not Evil – i’ve only heard like two songs off this record but everyone one else has it on their lists so i’ll put it on mine too…oh and they say something about holy wawa.

RC Cola tasted really good this year as well. i am thinking about buy a case or two for my soda cellar.
