David Howie's 'Pros & Cons' Of 2003

Neumu's Michael Goldberg writes: With 2004 upon us, we're running those much-anticipated Neumu "best-of" lists. Each year we ask our contributors to consider all that they've listened to during the past year, and to come up with a list of their favorite albums (and, if they are so moved, their fave songs, concerts or whatever). Today we present Neumu contributor David Howie's "Pros & Cons" of 2003.

PROS: Barbara Morgenstern's Nichts Muss; Bubba SparKISSKISSKISS!; Joshua Selsky's Digital Summer; that last verse of "Jus' A Rascal," voice almost getting away from body; Philip Sherburne's "Needledrops" AGAIN, a marriage proposal to everyone who reads; Ricardo Villalobos' "Easy Lee," not nearly long enough at 8 mins+; the Blue Nile in the Junior Boys' Birthday EP, Aspera, and Coloma's "Finery"; Closer Musik, Sascha Funke, Phantom/Ghost, Luciano, Komeit, Kaito, "Rough" Justus Kohncke; Blemish as redux of the worst of A Lover's Discourse (absence, waiting, demons, I-love-you, madness, flaying, drama, &c); the Superpitcher remixes of Jim O'Rourke's back catalogue oh so worth looking forward to!; asking "who are Josef K?"; Scott Walker on my telly; Animal Collective; I Luv Poney!!!; Donae'O "Bounce," "Farmer Yardie"; M. Ward; Sharkie Major "This Ain't a Game"; Eve "Satisfaction"; OMG where was I when Enon?; Tara Jane O'Neill; Live — KaitO (light detonating inside glass), Liars, Melt Banana (WOWs and raw joy), Scatter; most things I love I haven't written about; More Michael Mayer More More; (early) Simple Minds re-issues; Aztec Camera's first for £1; Sticky feat. Lady Stush "Dollar $ign"; Wiley, obv.; Il Casio Immunitas; Don Paterson's The Landing Light; !!! "Me & Giuliani..."; Rachel Stevens "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex" (the first shuffletech-inflected pop song); Avril was 2003, right?; my friend Minna Sophie Wight; playing football with Sci-fi Stephen; Charlie "Woman"; Ken Laszlo "Hey Hey Guy"; all the paint stripped from her throat — Catherine Irwin's voice; Ozu, Tarkovsky & Tati retros at the GFT; Isabelle Huppert ("the ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face!"); relentless unreasonable horribleness (Haneke's Le Temps du Loup, Tarantino's "Kill Bill Vol. 1," which I'm still undecided on &c); F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender Is the Night"; Matthew Ryan's Concussion released in Britain; MEGO; laziness; the most melancholy song ever finally recorded, a mystery Roll Deep White Label ("I wish I didn't think so much"); Lumidee "Never Leave You"; E. Crunk's line about how listening to lots of Sean Paul is like being prodded at by aliens tryna figure out feeling; being wrong quite often but who really cares?; discovering so many great writers (Charles Portis, Lorrie Moore, Donald Barthelme, W. G. Sebald, and finally reading Roland Barthes); learning my way around a sentence; "Cellular Minutes," how could I forget?!; WHAT A BUSY YEAR!

CONS: Cat Powurgh; the Ratpure record — wtf?; Luomo songs that aren't "Tessio"; Oldham, Callahan & Malkmus — Dead White Males; jokes I've made before; John Ritter & Elliot Smith RIP; MC Shystie "I Luv U"; no one should ever feel this sad; where the hell are the Avalanches?; The Exploding Hearts : ( : ( : ( :( :(; Matmos; ILM; lack of Kodwo Eshun; missing INSTAL '03 at the Arches (Ryoji Ikeda, AMM, Merzbow, the Boredoms, Whitehouse); (that's enough, the world's already negatively charged!).
