Doing it better: Chromatics.
Another in a series of year-end picks from Bay Area musicians, writers, scene-makers, and music lovers.
MICHAEL HARKIN’S TOP 10
– Nobunny, “I Am a Girlfriend”
If the original Ramones replaced Tommy with a drum machine, it might’ve sounded as amazing as this track from Love Visions (1-2-3-4 Go!).
– Danzig at the Warfield
“Mother”… kicking a pizza box out of a roadie’s grasp … Glenn still rules.
– Nodzzz, Nodzzz mini-LP (What’s Your Rupture?)
Fantastic, distortion-free guitar pop.
– Special Disco Version at Mighty
God bless James Murphy and Pat Mahoney for their brilliant edits and many mirrorballs.
