- Back in Sydney after an abortive overnight karaoke excursion to Canberra. Transit Bar cancelled the song session scheduled for Boxing Day night, and we ended up drinking at various establishments with morose (and freezing) Canberrans. All in all, a typical Canberra night out.
- Tonight on Join The Dots I’m talking to James Wilkinson from Melbs. He’s part of High Pass Filter, Bucketrider and has just released a gorgeous album as Post. Listen to FBI 94.5 from 9pm for jazz-punk, ambient-electronic and Brasilian music.
- A couple of new reviews at Cyclic Defrost for your reading pleasure. Brisbanian Restream’s processed shoegazer epic Loopsforstereogram and LA’s Flying Lotus with the off-kilter instro hip hop jaunt 1983. Both good albums.
- Indie bloggers Who The Bloody Hell Are They have compiled a list of top fives for 2006 from musicians, media and bloggers. My contribution’s in the blogger section (I wonder how they choose which ones go as media and which ones as bloggers and what that even means these days?). You might notice that it’s different from other top lists I have made elsewhere. Yes? Well that’s because it changes every week. Other things that topped 2006 for me were Damian Marley at the Enmore, the Go Betweens as part of the Sydney Festival, Muscles, Faux Pas, My Disco, Ned Collette, the Tactics reissue, Pete Rock rarities compile on BBE, and, well the list gets longer every time I think about it. SMH Metro writer Bernard Zuel’s got a list here, to which I’ve added yet another variant on my top top.
