It really has been a great year of music. Picking only 25 proved to be the hardest yet. I’ve included highlights this year too, but I decided that there’s no point in writing something that’s already been written. So here it is. The best albums of 2008 according to me, explanation given by others (although carefully picked by me). (more…)

The highly objective “best of 2007″ list is ready to go! I didn’t expect to see this exact number one earlier this year, but sometimes things just seem right. Arts & Crafts has managed to win me over once again, not that I’m surprised… These are the 25 albums that stand out of the ones I’ve heard this year. I’m sure there are plenty forgotten (I remember there being last year), but sooner or later they’ll turn up on my radar. I’d appreciate the help with that… (more…)

Time for part 2 of this series of blogs. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish the entire list before the calendar says 2006. I decided to run two parts with 6 letters each now, before wrapping it up with a 7 letter post that probably will be a bit shorter than the rest (how many artists do you know on X, Y, Z?). So here’s my H-M list of music. Feedback is always welcome, especially if you have something new to recommend

I made this list about a year ago, and posted it on my Norwegian page. Then I realized that it was getting really (really!) old, considering the huge amount of music I’ve discovered since then. This is the updated version, in english this time. Just a glimpse of my taste in music at the moment, and the content of my music collection. I’m sure I’ll have to update this again soon. In addition there was a need for moderation, so there might be some artists missing, and not everyone gets a lot of introduction. This will be a blog in 4 parts, starting with the artists beginning with the letters A to G.
