Glide's 4th Annual Best of 2006: From the Artists' Perspective

By Glide Staff

 
0 Comments
Everyone makes their standard "best of's," top 10s" and "year in review" lists, but each December we like to take that model a couple of steps further. We go straight to the artists to see where they found inspiration over the past twelve months, and we don't stop with just album choices. We dig a bit deeper and go for a broader picture of the past year in art. From classic moments on the road to their guilty pleasure confessions, this is a panoramic snapshot of "the best of 2006," and a peek into what to expect in '07.

Best Albums of 2006
  • Tool: 10,000 Days
 
Favorite Live Performance of 2006
  • Little Axe, Box England - 6-28-06 - It was crazy, I was at this party and Little Axe was playing. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Robert Plant jumped on stage and started singing. How fucking cool is that?
 
Personal Favorite On-stage Moment/Show of 2006
  • Tack and Nimbus - November 17th 2006, Malibu CA -- When we started playing, it was obvious that someone had tampered with our set lists. They had little cartoon like stick figures drawn on them. The figures were my band mates and me having sex with each other. They had slogans written above the pictures like, "Gary eats Eric's pussy," and that kind of thing. Anyway I shared some of these with the crowd and everyone had a good laugh.
 
Classic Album You Discovered This Year
  • Neil Young: After The Gold Rush
 
Best Film You Saw This Year
  • That's easy...Modify. It’s a documentary about body modification. Holy shit, you should see what some people do to themselves: implanting horns, hanging from hooks, cutting their dicks in half, etc. It’s definitely a laugh out loud fun film for the whole family.

 
What Song From The Past Year Do You Wish You Wrote
  • “Black Water” by Charlie Musslewhite

 
Your Latest Guilty Pleasure
  • Some chick jerked off next to me in a taxi cab down in Mexico. You don’t see that everyday!

 
A Memorable Moment In 2006
  • In Glasgow, Scotland I was in a pub (how rare) and this dude keep giving me the evil eye (again how rare). Anyway I asked him what his problem was. The little fucker jumps off his bar stool and starts swinging his crutches at me, like a pissed off Tiny Tim. I started laughing so hard beer came out my nose. I was chased out by this wee man, he couldn’t have been more than 4 foot.
