One more "Best Of 2010" list here to tell you guys about...
You may remember back in April when "Hør nå... Hør nå!" in Norway wrote about us. They loved the record...so much that they named "People. Places. Things."the best album of 2010!
Rune, who wrote the current posting, was kind enough to send a translation for us to post here:
"The Music Blogs definitive list of the best albums from 2010 is ready to launch.
The list has a strong focus on Americana, and holds both known and unknown names. Most albums have been reviewed here on the blog during 2010, and I must say it has never been this difficult to decide what succession to give these albums.
2010 has given us brilliant albums like pearls on a string, and for my own part I must admit that the first year of running this blog has given me more great musical experiences than in years.
I have never bought this many NEW albums, and I have never bought as many new LPs as I have done in 2010. At the same time I have never bought this few albums from large record companies. The majority has been bought from artists or small lables in Norway, USA, England and Germany.
Thank you to all contributors; both musicians, bloggers and you on twitter. I would also like to thank to all you reading. The visitorcount gets higher every day, the same can be said of the time spent on the blog by each reader. And last but not least, thank's to the people creating good chairs.
1. Drunk On Crutches - People. Places. Things.
The hard choice had to be made, and this time the heart wins big time. The battle stood between Bingham and Crutches, but the choice was made on the basis that I have fallen deeply and unconditionally in love with this album. It is the album I have played the most this year, with no other album coming even close to the same number of rotations. It reminds me in a lot's of ways of other classics I've played to bits and pieces over the years (Full Moon Fever, Graceland, New York, Wilburys vol.1), just because these albums have THAT special something that snuggles itself safely into the back of your mind, demanding constant attention.
The only thing I regret in connection with this album, is that the review I wrote when I first heard it isn't even better. Because this album deserves so much more than I managed to communicate at that point. Also to make it perfect, it should be available on LP..."
Some really kind words to say the least! To see the full list, just click HERE.
In the meantime, we're working on new songs and checking on mastering for an LP...right?
