Bill’s Rockpile 2014
Hi,
Another
year and an accounting of my favorite songs. The cutoff remains about 70
minutes worth of music, or what fits on a CD. As with last year, CDs will ship
by request if you send one to underclaw@gmail.com.
Or if you send me your own favorites. I felt like it was a pretty good list
this year, and there were some I would have liked to include. Those honorable
mentions are below. There were also many good reissues this year, and I was
particularly fond of the Bedhead 1992-1998. Best show I saw this year was
Carsick Cars at the Middle East Upstairs.
Thanks
for visiting!
Cheers,
Bill
