Tracks of the Year 2007
Kieron Gillen posted on his blog his 40 tracks of 2007. I disagree with some of them, but Kieron can talk about songs like no one, and he manages to keep the interest.

David Byrne and Thom Yorke on the Real Value of Music
Over at Wired. A great thing to read. Excerpt:
Yorke: That was [manager Chris Hufford’s] idea. We all thought he was barmy. As we were putting up the site, we were still saying, “Are you sure about this?” But it was really good. It released us from something. It wasn’t nihilistic, implying that the music’s not worth anything at all. It was the total opposite. And people took it as it was meant. Maybe that’s just people having a little faith in what we’re doing.

Writes about Icky Thump, latest White Stripes album:
“Bone Broke” sounds like it fell off of White Blood Cells. And it FEELS like it fell off of WBC too, and that’s a crucial distinction on this record. The White Stripes too often are sounding like the world’s biggest White Stripes fans, you know? They sound like the innovation and not the innovators anymore.

Bang-Utot’s band, The Ladies.
