I asked the main actors of this here blog (mostly musicians, of course, but also friends, family, support-givers…) to provide me with a list (5 to 20 albums) of their favorite records of the year.
The results are slowly coming in. There are surprises, resemblances, similarities, incongruous choices… I’ve left the responses intact, exactly as I received them, along with my friends’ comments. So here goes:
Fadi Tabbal: musician (Incompetents), producer, sound engineer, owner of Tunefork Studios in Beirut
“The LIST. Pa-Pa-Paaaaa:
It s not in any particular order.”
Deerhunter – Microcastle
