On a recent trip to Borders, I purchased two distinctly different magazines which featured cover articles on two of my absolute favorite female perfomers on Planet Earth.
1. Oscar-Winning Actress Tilda Swinton in Out Magazine, a GLBT publication.
2. Experimental Singer/Performance Artist Diamanda Galas in Terrorizer, a UK-based music magazine predominately devoted to the darker side of [...]
I’ve changed my Current 25 list so that I could insert the new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album, Dig, Lazurus, Dig!!! I’d say that Lazarus is more rock-n-roll sounding than previous records, which could be atttributed to Cave’s foray into the more blues-inspired grittiness of his Grinderman side project from last year. I [...]
Is it just me, or is Miss Kittin looking rather “Goth” in this cover photo of DJ Magazine?
There seems to be some self-righteous hipster dickwads that have been displaying petty disdain over the new Goldfrapp record, Seventh Tree. They can’t believe that Goldfrapp completely did away with the ridiculously overhyped glam rock/club pop hybrid nonsense and created a (insert sarcastic GASP) more lush and laidback record, akin to their gorgeous debut Felt [...]

Ooops. Just when I thought I was done, I realized that I forgot to add one release that I liked this year. However, since I am ready to move on, I am going to mention it here rather than revise everything again. I am so sorry, Nicola and Adam (a/k/a Adult.), for forgetting your fine [...]
Without further ado, here is my list of the Top 16 albums of the year. Enjoy. I hope 2008 proves to be another excellent year in music (at least in the unconventional/experimental music scene anyway). Here goes.

14. Underground Resistance - Electronic [...]
I am now finally finishing up my 2007 year in review with a look at my favorite albums of the last year. It was really difficult for me to put them into number order so I am bunching them up in two parts. Here’s the first part. The second part will be my Top 16 [...]
The Soft Machine by William S. Burroughs
Dear Fatty by Dawn French
