Best singles of 2008 (singles I liked, here and there, in 2008. Sooooo personal)

Let’s make things clear: this is NOT a chart. I ain’t got any chart. Because I’m so.. messy, and because during this 2008 I listened to not so many songs (let alone entire albums).
I compiled this list according to one rule only: “If it sounds good to my ears, then it’s good”. Period. No matter […]

My own personal pointless 2008 single awards

While waiting to finish writing an effing post about my “Best singles of 2008″, I thought it would have been nice to post something even more useless and silly.
And so..

Christmas 2008. Gifts and self-gifts

Is there anything better than writing a post about Christmas gifts, indie pop and intriguing books, muffled up in my comfy pajama pants and shirt (yes, I’m irresistibly sexy. Definitely), while gobbling sugar sprinkled cookies, on a Christmas afternoon?
However..

Christmas Wishlist 2008

So apparently it’s Christmas* time (where did November go?). And, as I know there are are still a few of you who don’t know WHAT to give your loved ones this holiday season, I thought I’d give you a few helpful suggestions. No need to thank me. I know I’m an exceptionally kind person. Anywayz, […]

Michel Gondry vs Jack Black vs Rubik

(If you already saw both of the videos, sorry. Er.. no, I really don’t give a thing, actually.
But if you didn’t.. enjoy!!)
Genius vs genius: who’s cooler?
(I think I’m pretty pretty much going to get a Pulitzer. “Useless stupidity on internet” category, I suppose)

Album Review: Everyone All At Once by The Rest

For as long as I’ve known them (which is not that long, in the grand scheme of things), The Rest have been a good band. Their first album, Atlantis, Oh Our Saviour was most exciting not because of its quality, but because of its potential. The album was flawed, to be sure, but every time I […]

Film School: “Compare”

Can’t tell how many times I happened to read their name on the net. But, don’t know why, I’ve never listened to any of their songs before. Could it depend on the name in itself? Maybe. Maybe I tied it to someone else’s roaring muscled rock, like Girlschool, Rival Schools, or.. er.. Disney’s High School […]

This is not my list!! (a bunch of awesome songs of 2008)

The end of the year is near. But on the net there’s plenty of “best songs of 2008″ lists already.
Yes, I’ll probably post mine, one of these days. A very pointless and messy one, that’s for sure.
(PTBJ contributors, please!.. don’t upload any list until.. let’s say.. the 15th of december, kay? I’m not done with […]

In a rare moment of coolness, Pitchfork has provided us with the following: 

That’s right, it’s Fuck Buttons. Rocking out. Hard core rocking out. Rocking out so hard core… you get it, you get it.
