Wire - 23 Years Too Late

December 31, 2007


This is my best-of-2007 list. I hate best of lists. My list only has one item:

Wire's "23 Years Too Late" (off the EP Read & Burn 03) is not just the best song of 2007, it's the best anything of 2007. Very little this year has brought me as much pleasure as this song. I love love love when a band that started before I was born can still make amazing music. The ominous, bass-y spoken word makes this song almost like a post-punk version of Thriller. Now that I think about it, that's a fairly apt comparison.

(FYI: The rest of the EP is alright, but this one song makes the purchase more than worth it. I hardly ever get to the other songs on the CD because I keep listening to this one over and over and over.)


Me... Me and my...

If you, like me, think that the "Me And My Rhythmbox" scene is one of the greatest moments ever committed to film, you might also be interested in the soundtrack to Liquid Sky, the movie it's from. Well, it just so happens that Heino und Jerry have made yet another post of awesome music. I alternate between only liking that one song and loving the whole cheesy thing. Right now, I'm listening to that one song over and over and over until my train ride in the morning.


Every single night is like this in NYC, I swear.
