fette:

Clark, Growls Garden, 2009.

first heard this track off the record TOTEMS FLARE.

the other day, i referred to this as my second favorite track for 2012.  i’ve this weird way of making year-end best-of lists based purely on what’s been new to me this year, regardless of how long around each bit of pop ephemera’s been around.

something else that’d been around for a few years is HUNGER, steve mcqueen’s initial feature.  but i think my favorite bit of film this year is TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY.

my favorite record is godspeed you! black emperor’s ALLELUJAH! DON’T BEND! ASCEND!

my favorite comic by far was FREAKANGELS VOL THREE by warren ellis & paul duffield.

and i only read one book and it was damn good: ryzyard kapuscinski’s THE SHADOW OF THE SUN.

this year i went to a comics shop three times, and one time was to watch a movie.  record store trips and book store trips were very minimal.  this year, i bought lots of clothes instead.  not because i need them but because i want them.  strange changing into a person who can honestly say i own shoes and clothes i’ve yet to wear, tags still attached.

it’s been that sort of year.

big clothing discounts via work don’t hurt either!

right now i’m planning on a trip to the northwest because turns out i can’t really afford to go anywhere.  this is not meant to be categorized as a problem.  last time i went anywhere further than five hundred miles was…2006?  it’s time.  because when at golden’s for thanks giving, i thought, after i said the words, yeah, maybe more traveling on my own will do me some good instead of not traveling alone and remaining home.  i’m selfish this way.

incidentally, my favorite track of the year is ∆aimon’s MAASYM (VS//YOU†HCLUB Remix)
