Holy shit, it's over already. Can someone please stop time? It seems like whoever is driving time has passed the speed limit a long while ago!
The world seems to have stopped at around 2019 tho and history repeats in a sense that I managed to get covid a second time almost exactly a year from the last time! While last time it was't really a joking ordeal (had a 3 month sick leave) this time around I got over it in like a day or two but I'm still in isolation. Isolation is actually pretty nice this time of year since it is too cold to be outside anyway and I was getting tired of my endless treks across Europe. With new year comes new hopes but dressed in old rags. This time it will be different! I doubt it but maybe something changes.
The year 2021 in music to me has been pretty uneventful for the most part. The biggest discovery that I had was Keith Jarrett and his solo piano performances. Yeah I know he's pretty well known but I never got around to his music before and I can honestly say that his solo piano concerts really live up to the hype. That is if you enjoy listening to one lone dude hammering on a piano for an hour.
Anything else? Let's see... Well metal had a couple of good releases that I liked. Warloghe released an album but can it count as new? It really is just a bunch of songs they wrote 10 years ago but never recorded. Despite that it still is my fabled album of the year. I love how it sounds and the feeling I get when I listen to it is the feeling of helpless decay. Absolutely marvelous. Moving past the metal cavemen I would also like to mention King Gizzards album from the year and that one saw a lot of rotation during my long waits at airports or transports. Another not metal release that I adored is the collaborative effort between Evan Parker and some new-ish kids on the block. A really solid and intense live performance that we are lucky to be able to witness in recording at least.
That's it - pretty much. Brief much like the post number for 2021. This year maybe more maybe less - who knows? I have like a week more of isolation so I hope to drum up some more posts. I do have a couple albums I wanna talk to about with the abyss of the internet. In any case - here's the list:
