A dozen writers, a dozen 2004 mixes: http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0452/041229_music_2004mixes.php

Also, one staff, two CDs' worth of Seattle music from 2004: http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0452/041229_music_2004bestlocal.php

My year-end MP3 mixes are at http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0452/041229_music_2004triple.php (2004) and http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0452/041229_music_2004reissues.php (reissued in 2004)

Enjoy! (or not)

No Q? (Crackerjack-looking, regardless!)

The mixes thing seems to cut off in the middle of Rod Smith's...

yipes! getting it fixed right now . . .

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 29 December 2004 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, later on it'll be two pages--the second will have Rod and Douglas's on it. there'll be a link to that at the bottom of the first page. onward!

ha ha I love that "Call it resistance through bass" bit. Jess sometimes sounds like a stoner.

geeta has such great taste.

there's a funny thing where yr list appears twice, matos, once not properly formatted and then correctly.

yeah, geeta's list makes me happy. jess's mix is prob great, lots of nu-dnb stuff i haven't heard, but it seems kinda... taxing. i mean i feel like i have to have a lie down after every time i play that 'soulhunter testifies' track! matos, yr mp3 mix has me wanting to hear that '99 anthems' mashup despite myself. i can't find it online - anyone willing to hook me up?

i like nate's too, i should add.

― m. (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 29 December 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

the formatting is fixed--mine only appears once, Rod's is complete, Douglas's is there now., and it's all one page. Mitch, email me.

excellent, thanks matos: tell me, did seattle weekly know what they were letting themselves in for when the put you at that helm? did you pitch it to them as i can get folks from, say, sydney ;) reading this stuff?

I completely forgot to put anything even remotely resembling crunk on my mix, which might be kind of understandable if I didn't like it or something, but. Oops.

Also I kind of screwed up there in pinpointing grime as part of "southward"-moving London (brainfart ahoy). Uh.

Keith Harris' write-up was 1000x great.

i never even noticed Nate: i mean its just a handful of tunes and i guess i know you like a broad pallet of stuff which might fall outside yr top ten. nice list, excellent comments.

― bulbs (bulbs), Thursday, 30 December 2004 05:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, since I took a bit of effort to give crunk a reasonably significant chunk of verbiage, I feel a bit odd about leaving it out completely.

"Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom are the modern age's Dylan and Baez—minus the romantic link, but wholly inclusive of the rambling, purposeful messages and the highly singular aesthetics. (Though Baez's guitar has nothing on Newsom's LTR-ish lingo or her harp.) Similarly, Elliott Smith is our generation's John Lennon, complete with the fact that he was taken too soon."-Laura Cassidy

Tell me please that Laura Cassidy is not serious with those comparisons. Is she just an indie publicist? Hey, I like Elliot Smith fine, but "our generations's John Lennon," I think not(his vocal style and ability to come up with hooks pales compared to Lennon)
