Glide's 5th Annual Best of 2007: From the Artists' PerspectiveBy The Glide StaffDecember 19, 2007 |
|
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 2007," and a peek into what to expect in '08.

Recently, this year, we went on tour with Richard Swift and were lucky enough to watch him every night. I don't get to as many shows as I should, but after watching Richard play every night I didn't feel too bad about what I was missing while on tour.

| Personal Favorite On-stage Moment/Show of 2007 |
-
When we were playing Lollapalooza and [drummer] Jamie [Levinson], inadvertently, threw his stick about 15ft. from the riser his drums were on. No one but him and I were aware of it and thought it was hilarious. Recounting it doesn't do it justice.

Personally, the new Grizzly Bear track, "My Little Brother (electric)," is amazing. I don't understand how they approach the songwriting process, but I'm thankful that someone is creating music that boggles my mind and forces me to reappropiate my ears.
