In his most recent blog entry on LA Weekly, Henry Rollins has named his favorite albums of 2013.
“There really isn’t much for me in the world of big music,” he announces first. “I am glad it’s there for all those who like it, but its existence neither twists my arm nor picks my pocket. You can always look elsewhere. The options are plenty and there is seemingly no end of great music to be had.”
That said, here are Rollins’s picks:
Marnie Stern, Chronicles of Marnia
The Julie Ruin, Run Fast
David Bowie, The Next Day
Ty Segall, Sleeper, Gemini, Ty Segall Band Live at Death by Audio
White Fence, Cyclops Reap and Live in San Francisco
Thee Oh Sees, Floating Coffin and Moonsick
Fuzz, S/T
VUM, Psychotropic Jukebox
Steven R Smith, Ending/Returning
Omar Souleyman, Wenu Wenu
Melt Banana, Fetch
Ashtray Navigations, Spray
Hisato Higuchi, Otomeyama Bottoms
Fushitsusha, no title provided
