The suspense must be killing you, dear readers. I'm well aware that the desire for pyrotechnics and improved word-wielding have kept you up for many a sleepless night in the week that we have spent apart. Also, in the farthest reaches of your mind, there surely must have dwelled the slightest trepidation caused by the fear of those oh-so-anticipated things not coming to pass. Well, loath as I am to toot my own horn, I can but direct you towards the following text, beseeching you to make up your own minds (if you have no idea what I am talking about, clues can be unearthed here).
Dear readers, for the twentieth time,
let your eyes feast on the wonder of The Cull.

* 50 Cent - I Get Money
For all those years, I didn't like him, and I'm pretty sure it was out of prejudice. I mean, didn't he look stupid, with all those muscles…

Ok, so here's the list of my favourite albums of the year 2007 (and notice that I didn't write 'the best albums', cos I realise that this list is totally subjective, based mostly on the memories and feelings that I associate with these albums):

1. Shellito - Benevolent Laser This guy is amazing, very mysterious ;) hard to find any info about him (except for his website), his lyrics are so true, I hope to see him live someday and I'm waiting anxiously for some more of his music!

2. Laura Veirs - Saltbreakers This album makes me want to pack my backpack and book the nearest flight to Northern America and then spend months wandering through forests and national parks and talking to people in small towns... yeah, one day I'll do it :)

3. Devendra Banhart - Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon This album is such a mixture of different musical genres and different feelings, it's unbelievable how much diversity within one album there can be. …

so, this is the best music, i discovered this year:

1| PJ Harvey, White Chalk
2| Grinderman, Grinderman
3| Katarzyna Nosowska, UniSexBlues
4| Muchy, Terroromans
5| Yoko Ono, Yes, I'm A Witch

distinction of '07:
Hey, Unplugged

track of '07:
Yoko Ono, Death Of Samantha

dissapointment of '07:
Interpol, Our Love to Admire

hope of '08:
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!

Po sześciu latach milczenia Yoko Ono "powraca na młodości kraje"! Tak, jestem wiedźmą, to śmiałe wyznanie, a także odważne posunięcie na muzycznym polu. Japonka zaprosiła do wspólnego gotowania kucharzy światowego formatu, którzy nadali jej piosenkom nowych smaków i zapachów - można dostać zawrotu głowy. W "Witch Shocktronica Intro", "Witch Shocktronica Outro"(Hank Shocklee), "Sisters O Sisters" (Le Tigre) czuć świeżość dźwięków elektro, podkreśloną walorami wokalnymi dziewczynki z krainy kwitnących wiśni. Soczyste "Kiss Kiss Kiss" pachnie wiecznie zmysłową Peaches. Zachwycające interpretacje "Everyman Everywoman" (Blow Up) i "I'm A Witch" (The Brother Brother) jako dania główne są: gorące, mocne i sycące - nic tylko zatopić w tym zmysły i cieszyć się smakiem. Yoko Ono pamięta o wrażliwych podniebieniach, podsuwając im na talerzach subtelne "Death Of Samantha" (Porcupine Tree), delikatne oraz klarowne "Revelations" (Cat Power)…

I've been listening to Yes, I'm A Witch a hell of a lot lately, as well as Milk And Honey and they're both such beautiful albums.

Yoko Ono is such an underrated artist.
