Favorite Albums and Songs of 2002
| 
Jan 1 22:58 UTC 2003 |
Music fans: it's time to get those "Best of 2002" lists turned in.
By my rules, it's a 2002 album if you bought or downloaded it in 2002.
Please try to say something about each entry, so this doesn't
become just a dry list of titles. Most readers are unlikely to have
heard of your favorites.

of 2003

Japan For Sale Vol. 2: A great compilation of J-Pop music.
Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack: This is the first stereo recording of this
wonderfully psychedelic music.

Not really much released in 2002 that I'm keen on, so I'll post a 2001 album
that I purchased in 2002.
Marillion - Anaroknaphobia, probably the best album they have knocked out in
the best part of five years, download Seperated Out or else Quartz, two fine
samples from the album. :)

I don't know when it was released, but my favorite album acquired in
2002 has turned out to be expatriate jazz pianist Ronnie Lynn Patterson
playing two Morton Feldman pieces: Piano, and Palais de Mari. It's on
the "l'impreinte digitale" label. According to the CD booklet, it was
recorded at Studio La Buissonne, in Pernes-Les-Fontaines, on 12 Juine
2001, so it's possible it was released in 2002. Palais de Mari would
be my favorite song of 2002, I guess.

My music buying has slowed down a lot lately. But I think the album I
most enjoyed of those I bought last year was "The Legendary Marvin
Pontiac".

I'm lusting after a number of albums, including new releases by
Brad Mehldau and Joshua Redman. But I'm not buying anything unless
I can get it for less than the nose-bleed RIAA list prices. If those
albums were going for $10 instead of $18 they'd sell like mad, but
people are buying other things because a CD for $18 does not give
value for the money.
Which reminds me, I need to pick up a new copy of "Stick Figures",
since I still can't find my original. Greg Howard's web site had
halfway decent prices last time I checked. And I want to try to
fill some of the gaps in my collection of Passport.
Just picked up some Johann Strauss today - $2.99. Can't beat that.

Who pays $18 for a cd? Jesus, if you can't find it for less, you don't
deserve it.

Luckily, because of my discount, I get cd's for $12 which is about what
I am willing to pay for them. I think if I change jobs and have to
start spending $18, I'll stop buying cd's.

I don't often buy CDs for $18, although I *have*. I've also bought them for
quite a bit more (imports, alas... tend to be pricey). But most of the time,
I try to find a cheaper way.

I have too - but usually I'll catch it at Costco for $12, or around that at
Best Buy.

That's a great solution if you enjoy the mega-selling pop acts whose
work is sold at Costco or can find your favorite music among the somewhat
wider selection at Best Buy but many of us enjoy music you simply won't
find offered for sale at either of those two stores.

(But then perhaps we don't "deserve" the music we like if it
isn't sold at Best Buy or Costco.)

OK, I'm going to put on the drift police hat and ask people to stick
to their favorite music acquisitions of the year, and not how much
they paid for them, OK? I'm sorry I'm dragging on my own list.

I did my list already! :-) With 'splanations and all. I'll have to ask if I
can recycle, since it's been published.

The kind of music I like is only a bit more likely to be carried by
outlets like Best Buy than krj's favorite fare, and that's not saying
much.

I didn't buy a lot of new music in 2002, but here are ten of the
albums acquired last year to which I spent the most time listening.
I believe only one of them was released in 2002 and the bulk of the
list dates back 25 years or more..
In no particular order:
King Tubby and the Skatalites - "The Legendary Skatalites in Dub"
Townes Van Zandt - "Our Mother the Mountain"
Aimee Mann - "Bachelor No. 2"
Sigur Ros - "Agaetis Byrjun"
Joni Mitchell - "Blue"
The Kinks - "Face to Face"
Miles Davis - "Kind of Blue"
Love - "Forever Changes"
Moodswings - "Horizontal"
Various Artists - "Cap Vert: Anthologie"
