Welcome to the 3rd inaugural 10K songs journal..mind you the only reason I'm writing this one is to be able to use the adjective "inaugural". I always wanted to do that, now did that, so don't expect anything interesting on the upcoming paragraphs :)

The 20K journal which attract a record of zero comments(hmm the journal's writer was desperate for attention. for crying out loud, it is a wrap up of what you listened, how interesting could it be, besides if it is interesting enough people just comment on it, it happens, remember. grow up, mate) was in February. Being an audioscrobbler since March 2005, that meant it took 3 years to reach the mark. But it took only six months to listen to another 10K..so did the music industry dramatically changed so that I've been listening in an unprecedented way. well, no I just had more time, that's all.

Right, let me get on with the names. By the way the original text has gone to waste due to internet connection or whatsoever so I'm writing again and don't you hate it when that happens aaargh!!!

Bon Iver (read a lot about him, believed there was exaggerating hype, listened, seen live.. and awesome), The Last Shadow Puppets (it is too good to be a side project), Jack Johnson ('cause of my acoustic bug), Sondre Lerche (same bug and "Dan in real life"), Yer Soul (rusted in my recs for a long while..how the hell did I not notice? great.) Scorpions (Humanity: Hour 1 is so good), Eli "Paperboy" Reed and the True Loves (great voice and fun), Pinhani (great sophomore effort) and Danger Radio (from myspace surfing time, it's real fun)..

Yeah I know it is extensive, well questionable at least, but I had great fun listening them all :)

The top 3 tracks were:

Skinny Love, My Mistakes Were Made for You and Flume.

This time it was not Bon Jovi related (they are number 1 anyway in my list so I feel obliged to mention the name, proud listener :)). What'S that? Oh the 30000th track.

Gap
I forgot to mention above but Konk is a very good album as well.

See you at 40K. Keep listening. That's what I aim to do...

Günümüzün albüm dinleme alışkanlığına göre kaba bir tabirle "satın almaya değecek" albümler bunlar.


Öncelikle ilk aklıma gelen, mutlaka dinlenilmesi gereken Jülide Özçelik'in albümü İstanbul Jazz volume 1 var. Gerek kendisinin iki bestesi "Kendinle Kalırsın"la "Sıradan Bir Gün" olsun, gerek de yorumladığı diğer şarkılarda (özellikle "Yalan Dünya")usta işi bir çalışma ortaya çıkmış. Kesinlikle es geçilmemeli. Vol. 1 diye adlandırıldığına göre 2.si de kısa zamanda bizimle birlikte olabilir diye umuyorum.

Pinhani - Zaman Beklemez

Pinhani ilk albümü İnandığın Masallar'la (ve "Kavak Yelleri"nin de büyük katkısıyla) zaten epey büyük bir kitleye ulaşmıştı. Bu sefer bir adım da öteye geçmişler. Özellikle açılış şarkısıyla bunu belli ediyorlar. Bir de Roll'un Temmuz 2008 sayısındaki Sinan Kaynakçı röportajını tavsiye ederim.
http://www.pinhani.com

Mira - Eve Dönmeliyim

Baştan sona yağmurlu gün albümü. Özellikle favorim "Kayıp Şehirler". Umarım Miray Kurtuluş (Göksel'in sesine benzettim ama kulağa ondan daha güzel geldiğini eklemeliyim) ve Tan Tunçağ hak ettikleri ilgiyi bulurlar.

Öztürk - Öztürk

2007'nin sonunda çıkmasına rağmen 2008'le anılması gerekiyor. "Güneş Sensiz Doğacak"tan beri takip etmekteyim. İlk iki albümünü malesef baştan sona dinleyecek kadar beğenmezdim. İlkini Erol Köse prodüksüyonu olmasına bağlıyorum ama ikincisi için bu camiadan muazzam insanların birlikteliği olmasına rağmen bir sebep bulamıyorum (yine de "Vasiyet"e bayılıyorum tabi).
Ama üçüncü albüm kendini tekrar tekrar dinletiyor.
Yine her zamanki gibi tek kıta tek nakarat içeriğini korumuş.
Bu seferse DMC’den çıkmasıyla epey gazlanacağını düşünüyordum. Dream Tv top 10’unda birinci olmuştu "Aldırma". Plak firmasıyla ilgili bir şey gibi geliyordu.
"Gitme","Gülümse", "Sır" gibi şahane şarkıları var. Ama ne yazık ki çok kötü bir klip çekilmiş "Gitme"ye.
Şeytanın bacağını kıracak gibi geliyor bu sefer Öztürk Ilmaz. Darısı Kurban’a diyoruz...

Ha tabi bir de Yasemin Mori var. Gerçi albümü bu hafta çıktı, dinleme imkanım olmadı. Televizyonda Masstival 2008'deki sahnesini izleme imkanım oldu, Ozan Çolakoğlu destekli.. Gayet umutluyuz, böyle bir değeri kazandığımız için mutluyuz. "aslında bir konu var" ve "arjantin" şukela şarkılar.

* Yüksek Sadakat - Katil & Maktul
* Seksendört - K.G.B. (İnşallah i am going to see these two live next week. So it's about time i learn the songs)
* Pinhani - Zaman beklemez. (The new album is just as great as the previous one)
* Funda Arar - Rüya (I have only listened to it once so far, and i am missing a hit)
* Şebnem Ferah - İstanbul konseri (finally)
* Söz Müzik Teoman (Great songs, but most of the artists fail to do something new and interesting with the material)

Unfortunately i did not get "Hipnoz" yet. It will take another week until it arrives in Viyana.

Well, if it wasn’t for another milestone bla bla bla. I think the first one almost starts like that. Let me cut to the chase.. :)

I will focus more on the 2nd 10.000 rather than the whole 20.000 because I might end up write up saying almost the same things overall(one hell of a writer’s block for someone who is writing his second journal in 3 years :)).

Yeah I l know, Bon Jovi, Mr. Big, Queen, Manowar, Arctic Monkeys is still the top 5 overall. So I could write the same things again, right? In fact that’s not necessarily true. During the time, I decided to listen to some Manic Street Preachers albums just to get ready for watching them live in Rock’n Coke (which was really great by the way). The albums were not the best choices considering the setlist but still it was a wise choice. I should also mention that imho Send Away The Tigers is the best album I have listened throughout the year. So now I am a regular follower of the band. I know it was a bit late, but better late than never, eh? :)

Under the subject of good albums of the year, Yours Truly, Angry Mob and The Boy With No Name are the ones I should not also point out. Especially, Kaiser Chiefs’s sophomore effort impressed me quite :) Heat Dies Down

Another sophomore effort namely Favorite Worst NigtmareFavorite Worst Nightmare was not a nightmare, but still could have been better. Still, D Is for DangerousThe Only Ones Who Know are very good songs. The thing is WPSIATWIN is so hard to follow up and let alone FWN is not bad at all.

As for the bands I ignored regularly, before I listened a lot of MuseMuse and Gripin during the second 10K, and latter is the first Turkish band in my list to be a regular. They deserve it. Why? Well, they just do :) Let’s not also forget Pinhani…

The tracks stood out were (based on statistics and my ears) There’s a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought of It Yet,All I Have,Nixon,Any Other Day,A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing,Everything,dort and some other soundtracks almost written for my movie on the almost most fun and longest summer of my life.( Are you allright, mate? :))

Yeah…Bon Jovi again managed to wrote a few tracks for me, much to my surprise(cos I always loved the music and never needed the words to fit for me. That was up to me and not to Captain Kidd and King of Swing for all those years. Thank you guys.) and thank god I’ll see them live this summer finally.(maybe twice who knows :))

Let me see if there will be a third one. I hope so.

And the 20.000th one was…
Hard Times Come Easy

I must admit I was planning to select the song but left it to Winamp shuffle, and when I heard the first chords, I said why not,it is the King of Swing afterall, it cannot be bad :)

Thanks for the patient readers, if there's any :)
