UN PUÑADO DE TESOROS QUE ME HAN ALEGRADO EL 2016: [Instrucciones de uso: 1) Se trata de listas subjetivas y ordenadas de más a menos según el nivel de impacto que me ha provocado cada referencia. 2) Desgloso la lista de discos de 2016 en elepés, canciones y versiones para intentar hacerla menos pesada, pero obviamente los discos de la segunda y tercera listas (especialmente los de las primeras posiciones) podrían estar en la primera y viceversa. Ídem con la lista de conciertos. 3) Todas las obras de estas listas me parecen absolutamente recomendables, aunque no sean necesariamente las mejores de sus autores, sino simplemente las que me han acompañado durante los últimos doce meses. 4) Espero que disfrutéis descubriendo o redescubriendo unas cuantas joyas.] JC Badlands aka Arnold Layne ( @EbonyWhite) 55 excitantes discos publicados en 2016: DAVID BOWIE: Blackstar HERON OBLIVION: Heron Oblivion THE JULIE RUIN: Hit Reset THE JAYHAWKS: Paging Mr. Proust THE DRONES: Feelin’ Kinda Free LEONARD COHEN: You Want It Darker TEENAGE FANCLUB: Here STEVE GUNN: Eyes on the Lines CAR SEAT HEADREST: Teens of Denial SWANS: The Glowing Man DINOSAUR JR.: Give A Glimpse Of What Yer Not THE I DON'T CARES: Wild Stab NICK WATERHOUSE: Never Twice KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD: Nonagon Infinity FAT WHITE FAMILY: Songs For Our Mothers KEVIN MORBY: Singing Saw LUCINDA WILLIAMS: The Ghost Of Highway 20 ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO: Burn Something Beautiful COOL GHOULS: Animal Races DRIVE BY TRUCKERS: American Band EAST OF VENUS: Memory Box ANGEL OLSEN: My Woman WHITNEY: Light Upon The Lake LEMON TWIGS: Do Hollywood INVISIBLE HARVEY: La puerta giratoria THOSE PRETTY WRONGS: Those Pretty Wrongs BOMBINO: Azel JESU / SUN KIL MOON: Jesu / Sun Kil Moon STURGILL SIMPSON: A Sailor's Guide To Earth NEIL YOUNG + PROMISE OF THE REAL: Earth HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER: Heart Like a Levee DR.
