So! Earlier this week I picked up the new MOJO and for the free cd is
well, bollocks, as the Brit's would say. It's 18 tracks from the years
best albums. Did you know The Who and The Animals put out some of the
best music this year? Who knew... And don't get me started on Diana Ross
and Dexy's Midnight Runner's (!) being here. I'm griping so loudly as
I've come to expect nothing short of brilliance from MOJO's discs and
this collection is lamely strange and certainly not the best of the year.
The one new band on the cd is THE THRILLS (from Ireland I think) and as
they're coming to Vancouver in late January I was interested in hearing
them. Fun stuff. Very mellow 60s - 70's US pop stuff. I'll likely check
out the show as Patrick Park is opening and I missed him open for My
Morning Jacket last time around -- he's supposed to have a great
folk-country sound and very scary right hand as his nails are supposedly
quite grown out claw-like as he's a finger picker. A punky look, wot.
regards, Judith
