Happy New Year!
I know I’m a bit late with this post, but of course, the craziness of this time of year has taken its toll. I’m a bit relieved that it is over, but a bit wistful as well.
So no year-end is never complete with out some List-Mania. I’m gonna type this out as it comes to me, and probably edit it later…
In the Year Two Thousand… Four
…some of my top movies:
- Garden State
- Napoleon Dynamite
- Shaun of the Dead
- Sideways
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- The Incredibles
- Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Shrek 2
note: In writing this, I realize that I didn’t get to see as many movies as I wanted to this past year. That’s prolly why you’re wondering why I don’t have some particular movies listed. Wah.
…my top albums:
- Transatlanticism, Death Cab for Cutie
- Summer in Abbadon, Pinback
- Hopes and Fears, Keane
- The Spine, They Might Be Giants (natch)
- Franz Ferdinand, Franz Ferdinand
- Future Soundtrack for America, Various Artists
- Garden State Soundtrack
On that subject, I will add that I am attempting to participate in Rich’s 2004 Mix CD challenge, which includes:
- Best New Music of 2004 (IMHO, of course)
- New to Me This Year
and I may take from Elke’s book:
I’ll be posting those playlists later, for reference.
I suppose now that I’ve done the obligatory list entry, I hafta do the resolution post?
Heh. Maybe tomorrow.
Great choices for best of, especially the movies. Death Cab at the top for your music list was a good call too. I was introduced to them somewhat round about, Garden State Soundtrack -> Iron & Wine -> Postal Service -> Death Cab. And if you follow that logic, you’re really “in it”. Check the Shins or the Libertines if you haven’t. They’re a must for me.
