more top ten of 07 thoughts

i'm going through my hd to see what other 07 records i may have forgotten.

Boom Bip, Sacchrilege: quite good (go, Cinci!) but not quite top ten material. if he continues on this tack though, he may be a contender for next year....
Buckethead, Pepper's Ghost: a good record, to be sure, but as i've mentioned before, Buckethead's at his best when collaborating. the title track, though, is pretty pretty good.
Animals Within Animals and Dr. Butcher, M.D. both put out records this year that i enjoy, but they're not top 10 of 07 caliber (sorry guys! ;)
Clutch From Beale Street to Oblivion: good, but as with Buckethead, it's a bit "more of the same" -- good but not remarkable.
Mark DeNardo Lion, Tiger, Bear: a cute 8-bit EP, enjoyable but not remarkable.
Holy Fuck EP: not bad at all. i think they came out with a second LP this year too; maybe i should find it....
Johnnytwentythree, JXXIII: a very nice cincinnati post-rock record. very good but it doesn't grab me for top 10.
loads of good singles came out that don't have associated albums: andrea doria's "YaoO!", JMJ's "Teo & Tea", komonazmuk vs whiteboi "shankstep".... and tons more.

more later.

Anonymous: You had me panicking for a second there, worried that I'd missed out on some new Dr. B - I got a copy of that CD back in '03 when AWIA (st!, Dr. B, Bobby Vomit & Unszene) played RR5.

Good stuff nonetheless.

stAllio!: that drbmd release was completed in 2003 and a few copies were distributed, but it wasn't "officially" released until this year. so in a sense you're both right.

stAllio!: oh yeah, i almost forgot... drbmd did release the curse of the overfiend EP not that long ago... it's downloadable from mode of proof.
