Snobcast Recap: 2007.9
Written by Father Guido Sarducci IV // December 26, 2007 // The Conservatory // 4 Comments
Awww, the Best-Of list. Everybody longs to have the definitive outlook, but nobody ever gets it right. So here’s what we will be doing: We will be analyzing the year end lists of some other “reputable” music publications, I’ll sort of edit them accordingly to fit my preferences, and then play those songs on the Snobcast. Then you, the reader, can tell me what you think should stay; what should go; and what should be added or subtracted from the list/playlist. In the end we will have compiled the definitive Best of 2007 list.
This is who has been dismissed from and who has been added to the list:
| Additions: | Subtractions: | ||
| Kanye West | Wilco | ||
| Miranda Lambert | Modest Mouse | ||
| Maroon 5 | The Shins | ||
| Von Sudenfed | LCD Soundsystem | ||
| Kevin Drew | Beirut | ||
| The Black Lips | Tegan & Sara | ||
| Jens Lekman | Common | ||
| DJ Kicks/Hot Chip | PJ Harvey | ||
| Vampire Weekend | Neil Young | ||
| Timberland | |||
| Jason Isbell | |||
| Mary Gauthier | |||
| The National | |||
| Battles | |||

thou shall never omit lcd,ever.
Uhg!!!! what is the deal with LCD? i know james murphy has an ear for bands but not quite the same talent himself. he’s just boring. he’s no Justice.
Is Justice even relevant anymore?
I don’t understand the question. Is LCD some how more relevant?
