LAist - Tomdog’s Top Ten Music Picks for 2007 and Then Some 12/27/07
Posted in LAist Music Mixes by tomdog on December 28th, 2007 After reviewing a few dozen releases this year this is my top ten of reviewed albums plus a few select tracks of items that I went out and hunted down myself. These weren’t easy to select out of the great stuff I received so it was a challenge. I’d like to thank the labels and their PR agencies for hunting me down and sending CDs to me. I reviewed everything that I received this year with just a couple of exceptions of items I felt I wasn’t qualified to review. [Hint to labels and their agencies: LAist likes getting stuff to review, look for our contact info on the staff page]. In my Top Ten is a band (Tall Pony) that wasn’t even signed when I posted the review and I had a few others like that this year but there should haver been more. Also, please note that there are 3 LA bands/groups in my Top Ten (Bitter:Sweet, No Age, The Deadly Syndrome).
The Top 10 (in order of my review date with a link to the review): !!! - Myth Takes - “Must Be The Moon” Tall Pony - I’m Your Boyfriend EP - “I’m Your Boyfriend Now” Digitalism - “Digitalism In Cairo” Bitter:Sweet - “Dirty Laundry”(Skeewiff Remix) Five O’Clock Heroes - “Head Games” No Age - “Everybody’s Down” Tom Middleton - “Prana” Dust Galaxy - “Limitless” The Real Tuesday Weld - “The Decline and Fall of the Clerkenwell Kid” The Deadly Syndrome - “Animals Wearing Clothes”
and then some other 2007 releases that I thought were cool (in no particular order): Minilogue - “Ghost” Go Home Productions - “Passenger Fever” Djuma Soundsystem- “Les Djinns” LCD Soundsystem - “North American Scum” CSS - “Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death from Above” (Streetlife DJ’s Rappinhood Remix) Beastie Boys - “The Gala Event” Adrea Doria - “”Yaoo!” Cake - “Short Skirt” Max Sedgley - “Happy” (GHP Remix)
