Listomania
Άλλοι λένε καλή χρονιά με κάρτες, άλλοι με SMS ή με ένα ποτήρι σαμπάνιας στο χέρι, άλλοι σφάζουν γαλοπούλες, παίζουν χαρτιά, ή κόβουν βασιλόπιτες. Οι λίστες όμως με τα καλύτερα της χρονιάς είναι, νομίζω, για τη δική μας φυλή ο πιο παραδοσιακός και ευχάριστος τρόπος.

Listomania part 2 – 2010 άλμπουμ
Όλοι μπορούν να γίνουν διάσημοι (ή έστω γνωστοί) για 15 λεπτά. Ακόμη κι ένας δίσκος… Λίγο-πολύ τόσο κρατάει πια η φήμη ενός άλμπουμ, μόλις τελειώσει ο ελάχιστος χρόνος που έχει στη διάθεσή του, χιλιάδες άλλοι δίσκοι έρχονται να τον εξαφανίσουν κάτω απ’ το σωρό. Η μνήμη μας πλέον έχει τις ίδιες δυνατότητες με μιας αμοιβάδας: μερικά δευτερόλεπτα. Μετά όλα παραδίδονται στη σκόνη του χρόνου.
Μας χωρίζουν πια τόσες μέρες απ’ το 2009, οι δίσκοι των Animal Collective, των Fuck Buttons, των Felice Brothers, των Mary and the Boy έχουν ήδη ξεχαστεί. Περσινά ξινά σταφύλια… Κοιτάμε μπροστά, συνεπείς καταναλωτές του «τώρα που συμβαίνει», αλλά ασυνεπείς ακροατές. Να τι έχουμε να περιμένουμε:
