2007 - The 7 Inch Highlights


As we face into the last couple of weeks of the year, I thought that I'd share my favourite purchases throughout the year with you. When compiling this I realised that I've bought an awful lot of seven inch vinyl this year, a few hundred in fact. Anyhow here are my personal highlights in alphabetical order so as not to be interpreted as any kind of chart thingy. I'll get around to making a podcast of my absolute favourites over the next few days. In the meantime here's something to chew on.

Very nice list. I'm going to trust your judgement on the stuff I don't know and get busy tracking them down.
Nice blog too, by the by.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.

I never knew you knew Crescenet? Great for the auld in-depth comments.

Michelle Dalton said...

Nice list dude! Love that Blonde Redhead song, made me dig out the album again for a spin (I say that like it was released years rather than months ago!)

National Disgrace said...

Dig the Pilooski stuff.. Did you catch in Solas a couple of months ago?

Matt Vinyl said...

Cres - Good man yerself!

Kev - Don't know what the fuck that's all about! Full of chat so he is!

Econ - I don't really like lists or charts. I think I've mentioned before that I've about two hundred tunes in my top ten records. My top tens are tardis like.

National - Missed the fuckers, these pesky kids of mine, so demanding, they expect you to feed, shelter and love them. No Solas action as a result.

A fine selection indeed Matt. Many thanks, some real gems in there. Big shout to Panda Bear and LC! Some stuff I missed, must hunt 'em down.
I can't figure out how to link any more. I'm clearly a technophobe. You're a man in the know, those ION turntables with the usb connection that are always advertised in the Guardian/Observer, any use?

Matt Vinyl said...

IPTOR - I left a post on your blog about the turntables, I couldn't get into this one in work. rafters.

Pedro said...

Notorious – Turbulence, one of the best songs of the past year. Fucking dirty bass-heavy track...it's the shit.

Pedro said...

Dude, get Dave & Julie to order the Ter Haar 10" for you from Sinnbus. You wont regret it Matt. It is so fucking good.

Matt Vinyl said...

Pedro - Cheers for the heads up. I'll get them on the case.

Unknown said...
