And let the year begin!

Dezembro é sempre um mês esfusiante. São as compras de Natal que nos aborrecem profundamente, e claro, são as listas discográficas que também levam a pensar em 2006 sem sair de 2005.
Seguindo a melomania blogosférica que também integra, o My_Little_Bedroom decidiu-se por bem, após uma reflexão prolongada: porque não pensar numa lista que retrate 2005 musicalmente?
Nunca é demais relembrar que esta lista é isenta e carregada de subjectividade, mas que também pretende ser completada com a interajuda de todos os que por aqui passarem. Recostem-se no local de comentários e teçam malhas totalmente fora de controlo sobre a música de 2005, as vossas preferências e desilusões, enfim, tudo o que acharem que é passível de ser importante para emendar os buracos bem profundos nas audições aqui descritas em nome de discos e misturas de sons com algum tempo de duração.

E pronto, vamos à lista. Bem extensa, como se verá:

Os 20 melhores, na minha opinião:
1 - Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better / Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
3 - Depeche Mode - Playing The Angel
4 - The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
5 - The Editors - The Back Room
6 - LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem
7 - The Bravery - The Bravery
8 - Hot Hot Heat - Elevator

13 – Art Brut – Bang Bang Rock n’ Roll
14 - Gorillaz - Demon Days
15 - Nada Surf - The Weight Is A Gift
16 - The Kills - No Wow
17 – Beck - Guero

Entre outras ausências, são bastante notadas a de “Funeral” dos Arcade Fire.
Este facto deve-se ao facto de ter descoberto este disco em 2004, após ter lido uma crítica bastante favorável (8/10) nos tempos saudosos do BLITZ de Pedro Gonçalves, escrita por Luís Guerra, e de a sua audição ter sido contínua durante cerca de 2 meses.

E está na altura de desistir. Não tenho jeito para resumir um ano tão bom em poucas linhas. Foi muita a música que passou por mim, tanta outra que me terá passado ao lado e que irei descobrir no futuro certamente.
Agora espero pelas vossas revisões a 2005. E digam o que acham e o que falta para completar o que nunca estará completo. Mais do que nunca, estejam à vontade para comentar!

Alguns desejos para 2006:

Continuem a visitar este grande barracão!
Que tudo vos corra bem…e a mim, claro…(porque não?)
E que as coisas más da estante ao lado melhorem (e algumas, que nunca mais voltem a acontecer!)
Que outras coisas más venham, mas só para abrilhantar e afiar o gostinho das pequenas pérolas de cada dia!
Tenham um grande ano, com o melhor da arte – o que sai das mãos de apenas alguns!
