@ Markey I only blog about things I like, makes sense that the end of year list should reflect those posts. Of course there are things that I missed too and things I don’t have the time to blog about. Good things to come in 2013 I hope…
It’s amazing that some of the things mentioned here (records/movies/etc.) were brought to my attention by your blog particularly.
And of course, being mentioned in this list is a huge compliment.
fantastic list, kev, thanks so much, love the jump page layout you made, this will keep me busy. and then. of course you had to rub it in that you gots kraftwerk tickets… no no, i understand. but uhm.
I thought it might have been but couldn’t find who did it as I don’t have a copy. Glad to know he’s not got any copyists yet. Definitely ones of my favourite designers, the Can box and Berbarian Sound Studio posters are two others that spring to mind.
Great list Kev- have to thank you for turning me onto the Pepe Deluxe album, took a while for me to really get into but love it now! The deluxe version is such a great package too.
The The’s Moonbug sountrack one of my favs of the year too- and great to hear Matt on your version of GIANT.
Mark.
Oh and the Clark/ Iradelphic sleeve is by Julian House (Im sure your kicking yourself for not remembering that 😉
