Goodbye 2008 - Hello 2009
The end of this year is near jsut a few hours from now. In the music world, 2008 gave us a surplus of the new and exciting and kept bringing back the oldies in new and twisted ways. Acts came and went. Bands broke up. New bands formed. MySpace launched a few pop divas. Local theater is alive and even thriving. Acts that come through our Emerald City are world renown.
Other aspects of the year weren’t so hot. As a matter of fact, 2008 pretty much sucked and I don’t have to list out the many ways in which it swirled down the toilet. One of the only redeeming qualities of 2008 was that we got some change in the political arena and we are still above ground - well most of us are anyway.
Seattle was and has been on the cutting edge of music for a few years since it resurrected post “quiet period” back when grunge died. I believe it will continue to be an amazing place for music, musicians and listeners. Subpop had its 20th anniversary this year - seeing the flag on top of the Space Needle said it all.
Stay tuned for my non-list of must have albums (they are in no particular order).
Much love,
JanKeira
