Stevnumið: ein listi við fjøruti plátuviðmælum frá mínum føðiári í samband við runda dagin í mai. Úrslit: ein innlitsrík venjing, har roynt var at gera listan ymisligan í mun til sjangru og umboðan, standa ímóti onkrum ráðandi narrativum og hava javnvág millum tað kritiskt viðurkenda, tað vælumtókta og tað sentimentala. Hetta vóru tær, sum sluppu uppí part.
Put this list together back in May. Lists are often great and can help us understand and categorize that which seems complex or overwhelming. Lists are also a motivation to listen, watch, read, write, consider and repeat. To make a decision.
The Objective: a list of forty album recommendations from my year of birth to mark my recent 40th. The Result: an insightful exercise where I attempted to diversify in terms of genre and representation, oppose some dominant narratives, and balance between the critically acclaimed, the popular and the sentimental. These were the ones that made the cut.
