I love Thurston's best of lists! I eagerly await them every year, and never have I heard of any of the bands on them : )

Thanks Moshe...very interesting post..
...by the way,I heard very great reviews of Bolaño's "Savage Detectives"...some of that reviews tell that book is the best hispanic novel since Julio Cortazar's "Rayuela"...from 1963 !!! (I think that is very exagerate)...

I never heard before about Metalux and MV Carbon...I'm playing "Waiting For Armadillo"...and sounds funny...

heard he is doing solo as 'snow covered deer corpse' these days..

the savage detectives is great. you should read it!

I hear you bro.
Not one album by RECS OF THE FLESH either.

I feel kinda proud.

...duh.

Let the Right One In is an insanely good film.

It should be raking in the bucks instead of that Twilight bull.

I just started reading 2666.. not sure what to make of it so far... seems a tad dull? too early to comment really..

2666
 

I read it this spring. Parts of it are really amazing, but as a whole, I can't say that I thought it was worth my time. (Part of the issue is that Bolano died before he really, truly finished it.) That said, the Part About the Critics definitely picks up about halfway through. And Parts 3 and 4 are simply phenomenal; The Part About the Crimes is one of the most terrifying -- and terrifyingly good -- things I've ever read.
