Perfect Sound Forever

Staff top 10 lists for 2001

(also see the full listing of Editor's picks for the year)

 


Jeff Arndt

Confounding, challenging, anticipated, rejuvenated, soulful, infectious, fluid, atmospheric, honest music. Suffice it to say that all of these releases were welcomed reminders of the power and beauty these artists have to offer. We need this stuff.

Gigs: Richard Thompson, January, Melbourne Concert Hall; "The Three Stooges" @ the Cherry Bar, May (that's Mike Watt, J. Mascis and friend doing only Stooges covers- unbelievably good). Meeting my hero Watt was an honour I'll shamelessly never forget. Also, a toast to the great mags: Mojo, Wire, Black to Comm and Ugly Things. The Year's bummers: car crash; car stolen; our recent federal election result; September the 11th; the deaths of Joey Ramone, John Fahey, Michael Karoli, Sean Greenway (Aussie garage r'n'r king) and George Harrison. R.I.P.


Michaelangelo Matos


Scott McGaughey


Derek Monypeny

I'm excited about the angular punk sound of several new local (SF Bay Area) bands, i.e. Erase Errata, Numbers, Pink & Brown. Very refreshing.
