Yes I know, the artwork looks suspiciously like the type of shot you’d get from from one of those glass-bottom boat trips you do on holiday. Lo and behold, it IS – it’s from a particularly surreal boat trip I took with my brother, the captain/tour guide was tenuously linking it to Finding Nemo (“Can you seeeee Neemoo? Is he under there? Is he over here?”. Weren’t no goddamn clown-fish off the Egyptian coast, unsurprisingly), My brother shudders to this day at the mortifying memory of me being dragged to the front to ‘drive’ the boat and getting death-stared by all the children that weren’t picked. Ah yes, fond memories…
After Monday’s new releases I soundtracked job applications and project plotting with relics from my 2011 folder (yes I have my albums filed, along with folders of playlists categorized neatly – andwut?) so far Frankie & The Heartstrings – Hunger The Dears – Degeneration Street The Strokes – Angles Beastie Boys – Hot Sauce Committee Part Two Chinese Man – Racing With the Sun Tune-Yards – W H O K I L L… Evidently I only got as far as the ‘Spring 2011′ folder within the 2011 folder.
I should probably do one of those Best Albums of 2011 things like a proper grown-up music blog – comment if you feel passionately that any particularly album should win such a prestigious title.
