Records of 2014 - 43. The New Pornographers - Brill Bruisers

43. THE NEW  PORNOGRAPHERS - BRILL BRUISERS

A household name of a band. A superband. The longevity has spanned. AC, Neko, Dan, Kathryn, John, Todd and Blaine. It's on. Vancouver right? How you doing? You alright? I love your new album. you have a song called The Champions Of Red Wine and it's pretty colossal.
If you played a show in my head around Christmas, it'd be acesome.

If the reader were to scroll back guys, they'd see I say many times that this could be the album of the year. The reason it ain't is cuz this is pure sugarcane and when I write this I order the albums according to my mind. There's no flaws when you're so pumped on sugar. Jesus. It's ace.

Records of 2010 - 12. Brian Eno - Small Craft on a Milk Sea

What a record. I struggle to know what to say at 3.23 am. Elise is drying her hair and going to bed. Anyway:

"For Eno, the thrill of music at this stage in his pioneering career seems to be what it can stir in the mind’s eye, the imaginative place beyond any particular construct of notes. In that sense, Eno has little need for traditional composition and has instead built “Small Craft” from edited improvisations with his collaborators. None of the songs really have lead parts — several electronic elements thrum, often twisting around each other." --Margaret Wappler, L.A Times, November 2010---

Brian Eno has had an incredible year, curating the Brighton Festival and releasing a mesmeric album. Well done the egghead!
