An insane-in-the-best-way-possible kind of blog list: Largehearted Boy gathers in one place every 2007 year-end music list he can get his hands on–a work in progress, already bustling with activity.
Couldn’t resist taking a peak at Kim Gordon’s ArtForum roundup. Her Britney review… If it wasn’t so bad, you could almost call it art.

Awesome piece in Metro Times by Bill Holdship on the Creem debacle, tackling head-on what I alluded to earlier as the underlying 70s-80s battle that seems to be going on between former Creem staffers (I’m of course grateful to be quoted, but that’s not why it’s an awesome piece, really). As the lone commenter notes, Holdship sounds like the first sane inside voice to jump into the fray–the first, anyway, to make a specific, well-thought-out argument that doesn’t sound like mere grudge-bearing (mind you, I gave up scrolling through the reams of pissy comments at the end of the NY Observer articles, as understandable and occasionally entertaining as they are, so maybe I’ve missed something particularly insightful). All of Holdship’s arguments as to why John Cougar Mellencamp (re: Whitall’s earlier quote) was anything but “un-Creem” ring loud and clear to me, and his anecdotes are both priceless and fascinating, i.e., hearing how excited Mellencamp was to read Psychotic Reactions or learning that he invited Richard Riegel to his wedding, so impressed was he with a profile Riegel wrote.
