"Best of Before" '09

Well, it’s the end of the year and our best of ‘09 lists are coming soon, but there are always great things you find throughout the year that come from years past. It does tend to hinder the process of listening to the new things you should be listening to, but there’s really no getting around it. So this is my short “best of before” list of the year. Here are the top 6. Yep, we’re going with 6.

1. Roky Erickson – The Evil One

2. Alice In Chains - Dirt

3. Mission of Burma – Signals, Calls, & Marches

4. The Band – The Band

5. Harvey Milk – Life…the Best Game In Town

6. Chris Bell – I Am The Cosmos

Roky Erickson - I Think of Demons

Alice In Chains - Sickman

Mission of Burma - Academy Fight Song

The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Harvey Milk - Motown

Chris Bell - Better Save Yourself

And, on the same subject, here are two trailers for a couple music documentaries. The first one is about Roky Erickson and his life and the second is the story of Mission of Burma. They are both really great, interesting films that will give you a little history on these artists and will absolutely give you a greater appreciation and understanding of their work. Check it…
