Post-Rockist Picks of 2007: Day 4 (Lists from Todd and Kim)

By postrockist | Published: December 29, 2007
TODD’s TOP 15 SONGS OF 2007 At the risk of sounding like a rock snob (which, after all, is the very antithesis of what being a post-rockist is all about), I can’t honestly say there were very many albums this year that grabbed my attention and drew me in obsessively from start to finish like [...]

By postrockist | Published: December 28, 2007
2007: Return to Indie Rock Mountain: The Mix CD by Amy Wracked, anguished and awestruck after my typically tumultuous freshman year of college, and blessed with my very first CD burner (built into my computer!!), I made a mix CD that I thought would express to my friends what a very special, significant and emotionally [...]

Post-Rockist Picks of 2007: Day 2 (Lists from Bryan and Scotter)

By postrockist | Published: December 26, 2007
BRYAN’S ALBUMS OF 2007 (Bryan writes for the Post-Rockist courtesy of Better Chatter). 10. Liars –Liars (buy) Sailing To Byzantium Liars have a big bag of tricks. They follow their heavy krautrock opus with an album containing some actual radio-friendly songs. “Houseclouds” sounds like a long lost Beck tune, “Sailing To Byzantium” eerily sounds like [...]

Fourth Quarter Hip-Hop Round-up, Part 3: Wu-Tang Clan

By Todd | Published: December 20, 2007
Alright, I won’t tease any longer. I think it was fairly clear that our earlier discussion of Ghostface and RZA’s 2007 solo output, though enticing, were just mouthwatering appetizers. So let’s roll out the main course. Wu-Tang Clan – The 8 Diagrams [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Wu-Tang Clan (feat. George Clinton) – [...]

Fourth Quarter Hip-Hop Round-up, Part 2: Black Superhero Music

By Todd | Published: December 20, 2007
Considering that we left off last time on the subject of hip-hop soundtracks and “black superhero music,” it seems like the only logical place to continue our discussion. The RZA Presents Afro-Samurai (The Original Soundtrack) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] The RZA (feat. Talib Kweli, Lil Free, and Suga Bang) – “Certified Samurai” [...]

Fourth Quarter Hip-Hop Round-up, Part 1: Jay-Z

By Todd | Published: December 18, 2007
It’s quite possible that this wasn’t the best year for hip-hop. Now, I’m no expert on the subject, but it’s hard to ignore the curious lack of crossover hits this year appearing in the onslaught of year-end best-ofs compared to years prior (critically anointed golden boy Kanye West not withstanding). And when the journal Foreign [...]
