'Fro sure: Richard Pinhas Trio.
The Society of Rockets member ushers in his favorites for 2007.
1) Hanging out on Jean Herve Peron's farm in Schiphorst, Germany, at his annual Avant-garde Festival, and hearing sounds differently afterward.
2) Being part of something that led to a 12-inch vinyl gatefold, the Society of Rockets' Our Paths Related (Underpop)
3) Reissues, good for oldsters and kids alike: from Bee Gees: The Studio Albums 1967-1968 (Rhino) to Cluster’s Sowiesoso (Water).
4) Two nights of the Richard Pinhas Trio live.
5) Ornette Coleman with his son on drums and three bassists at the Masonic Center, Oct. 28. Not the soaring, almost liturgical music of 2005's SFJAZZ performance, but a blistering of angry, almost punk evaluation on the state of the union.
6) Going to Borts Minorts shows and meeting the nice folks of White Pee, not necessarily at the same time.
7) OOIOO at the Independent, March 26. Finally, they seemed well rested.
8) Chris Watson's underwater four-channel surround-sound recordings at Recombinant Media Labs, Nov. 30.
9) 16 Bitch Pile Up, T.I.T.S., and Fuckwolf at Undisclosed Location. Intimate and intimidating.
10) Hearing Sister Nancy's "Bam Bam" & Lil' Kim and Lil' Shanice's "Shake Ya Bum Bum.”
