IS THIS SO WRONG ?!?

Posted about 1 year ago
So here's the thing... my favorite album of 2007 isn't from 2007. I was a late bloomer to the *Editors*... I didn't have cool siblings til joinin MOG this year. Siblings that hooked me up & got me hardcore into the Editors, *BIG PROPS to Anna & Dale* !!! & sure, An End Has a Start is a feckin brilliant album on the whole. But the album that I played repeatedly for days & days & rarely put down for more than a week or two at a time...h1. +THE BACK ROOM+ circa 2005 ;)So, what's a procrastinating greeneyedgirl to do ?!? I already know that +An End Has a Start+ will likely make it to my top 10 (gotta get the Delorentos up there for us Dale), still, the one that belongs at #1 is +The Back Room+ & I feel like a cheat not giving it its due.Maybe that's the method behind the madness of my post... I will struggle through this & work out my top 10 of 2007... til then, I will be rockin my mix tapes & +The Back Room+ in the hopes of inspiration in the form of 2007 albums that I lurve !!!

    Marigold says I don't care. If it rocked your fanny in 2007 then so be it. 2005 *IS* the new 2007 anyways. :)

    TylerDurden says Colin--that's a lotta love bro. Lizzie--in answer to your question, no it is not wrong...if you play a 2005 album in your top 10...so be it, let your conscience be your guide.

    Lizziegreeneyes says *Mike:* I _knew_ you'd see it my way - specially since I was shakin my fanny to it ;) 2005 is the new 2007 (a slogan for my next Tshirt) !!! *Keith:* Thanks for bendin the rules for me... I _am_ a tad better looking than our Hyman... with more hair as well ;) *Colin:* Thanks luv - you rock !!! That's some high five - hopefully we can reinact that one when I next make it to the Emerald Isle :) !!! *Tyler:* Grassy arse my friend !!! I think my conscience will have to throw that one in for good measure - think I can scrounge up 9 more from 2007 to make up for it ;) *YOU LADS ROCK MY WORLD !!!*

I love finding something that evaded me first time round !!! I see from your posts - you are also quite the fan ;) Yeah... the Editors might just make it on the list twice... just adore them. Where was I before MOG... I may never remember - I've blocked it out really !!!

    Lizziegreeneyes says *j:* you MUST check out the first one... also any n *ALL* EPs, acoustic sessions or remixes... trust the greeneyes of this girl ;) *Neill:* you got THAT right ;) (I am still laugh/smirking over your response) I love any & all Editors... they've kinda stuck their claws in me the way Depeche Mode did back in the day... strange no ?!? ;P *My Grecian Goddess Sista:* (this of course means I too am a Goddess being we're family) ;) Too true, no pain what so evah !!! Wait til you see my top (20... technically 22... but there were two ties) heh !!!

    Marigold says I must admit, I am with Sturgel. I don't get the Editors. God knows I have tried. :::shrugs::: However, given enough beer, I can like just about anything. ;)

    Shud33 says Well I for one like The Editors, I get to see them in Feb!! I learned of them on here as well. Although, I checked them out after chainsaw had posted something about them. Oh yeah Mike...well it's 5 o'clock somewhere...start drinkin' :)

    Sam The Artist says love projecters in music videos, havent really "felt" the editors. i think its because his voice reminds me too much of all the bands that try to sound like joy division... but this song _was_ pretty catchy.

  22. Mike the Knife
    Mike the Knife says Honestly, I like the earlier one a bit better, too. But none of this matters. It's your favorites of the year, not anyone else's. Then again, there are so many people who have included reissues and compilations on their lists that you should just pretend the album was reissued in 2007 - JUST FOR YOU!!! That'll show the List Police who's boss!

  23. Bartleby
    Bartleby says Like a good brew, music needs time to find us. Not to worry about when it was made. (Personally, my best album this year is "Ascension" by John Coltrane recorded in 1965. I'm still trying to assimilate the melopoeia, to let it all sink in.)

    darmuzz says Bartleby, you literate dude, pray tell what is melopoeia?
    Permalink posted 01/04/2008
  25. Bartleby
    Bartleby says From: *dictionary.die.net* Melopoeia \Mel`o*p[oe]"ia\, n. [NL., fr. Gr. ?; ?; song + ? to make.] (Mus.) The art of forming melody; melody; -- now often used for a melodic passage, rather than a complete melody.

    Lizziegreeneyes says *Mike:* you're just a goon... but I will let it slide, got a soft spot in my heart for midwesterners - best friend being one n'all ;) You will you be ?!? GOON !!! *Sarah:* take me with you in Feb !!! They play here the day before I get back from London... FRICK !!! *Sam:* I hear what you're saying (re the similar sound to JD) - there's just something about him (Tom) that gets to some deeper visceral level deepestly down in my bones, in my BLOOD & I can't help but fall into a state of bliss, rapture & all around head-bopping, toe-tapping, sing-songingness ;) *Mike:* That's brilliant - and exactly what I will do - a reissue just for me... hey, MOG did use one of _*MY*_ questions when interviewing them in 2007 - that's reissue-reason enough for me ;) *Bartleby:* I hear you on the Coltrane tip... Miles Davis & Charles Mingus didn't find me til college & Clifford Brown a few years after that - they are still at the top of my lists ;) & NICE VOCAB !!! Were you looking at my new word a day calendar ?!? *darmuzz:* WE GOT EDUMACATED !!!

    ciphermedia says I came to The Back Room late Lizzie, and had already totally immersed myself in An End Has A Start. So I'm afraid that The Back Room never quite hit me the same way that An End Has A Start did. But I still love em both, so we're at least on the same page!

    goodmusiconly says Will you still be my sister if I confess I've never listened to The Back Room, and whats more, that in July I played the first three tracks into An End Has a Start, stopped it for whatever reason and have never gone back? :/ The shame, it's unbearable. I'M SORRY!!

    Lizziegreeneyes says I will *+ALWAYS+* be your sister... sometimes that's how it goes... I couldn't take Billy Bragg for years... it's been 5 or 6 years that I had tried, but I didn't _*GET*_ him til a few months ago - then my beloved sis (you), hooked me up with all sorts of Bragg goodness (as did jameson & *b*lair) & my life has been forever enriched. Maybe you never get the Editors - thats cool m'luv ;) It will only cost you one snickerdoodle - I fully intend on sending out my next DECENT batch - first two didn't turn out right - TASTED GRAND - but looked all kinds of kookie, cookie ;) I hope they can make it to Greece without too much of a delay ;)
