[分享] Tim`s Best of 2010
1. Favourite album of 2010?
I think the two records that have really blown me away this year are the Arcade
Fire album and the second Vampire Weekend album. Of the two I would pick
Vampire Weekend as my favourite, just because it's so full of life and original
sounds and ideas.
2. Favourite single?
Zebra by Beach House. Hypnotic and mysterious
3. Best gig you saw?
Again, probably Vampire Weekend. I was really blown away by the standard of
musicianship and the energy from the band and the crowd was relentless. Very
inspiring. Also it was at a fairly unusual venue - the De La Warr Pavilion in
Bexhill - which I'm very fond of as we used to go there when I was a kid to
watch panto and stuff like that. It's an amazing building and it's brilliant
that they have rock bands playing there now.
4. Best gig you played?
I reckon Toronto in July. A hot night down by Lake Ontario. We were really
fired up and played out of our skins.
5. Best film you saw?
Another Year is wonderful. It's funny how Mike Leigh just observing normal
people living their lives is far more emotionally engaging than just about any
film packed full of exciting story lines and big stars.
6. Best journey you made?
Probably getting the train to Italy. Needless to say there was a night train
involved. Got to say, the Italian sleepers are not quite in the Deutsch Bahn
league though.
7. Best TV show you watched?
Mad Men. It's rare to find a show that's as subtle and intelligent as this.
Plus it looks really gorgeous.
8. Best meal you ate?
We had a great impromptu barbecue and party in the summer which is the kind of
memory I really treasure. I'd rather eat burned BBQ food with some friends
under a summer sky than any number of fancy restaurant meals.
9. Best book you read?
All Quiet On The Western Front. Hard to believe I hadn't read this before. It's
just so powerful. And yet the human race still pays so little heed to its
history.
10. Best thing you bought yourself?
The DVD of Runnin' Down A Dream - a documentary about Tom Petty that Peter
Bogdanovich made a couple of years ago. It's about four hours long so you can
really get stuck into it. I didn't even know very much about Tom Petty or his
music, but I literally could not stop watching it. It's incredibly inspiring
and emotional, totally compelling. It was recommended to me by John Roderick
and is quite possibly the best thing I've ever watched.
11. Best thing someone else bought for you?
When I got back from our US tour in the summer, my wife had bought me a
battered old Land Rover. I've always wanted one. It smells of oil, lets the
rain in and sounds like a tractor - perfect.
12. Best website you visited?
Well, you can't argue with YouTube really. You can find just about anything on
there. We were geeking out over the multitracks of Revolver the other day.
Musicians are easily entertained by the many "shreds" videos on there, plus
this sort of thing which we all loved. We're simple souls really.
13. Best thing that happened in 2010 for Keane?
There were lots of great moments, especially on the US tour in July/August. I
have to say Night Train going to number 1 was so unexpected and meant a lot -
that was a big deal for us.
14. Best thing that happened in 2010 for you?
Probably meeting Paul McCartney. We all went to see him play in Glasgow and had
a bit of a chat backstage. Very exciting indeed.
15. Finally, what are you looking forward to in 2011?
So many things. Mainly the next album. The new record is still only in its very
early stages but we're working harder than we ever have before to make it
really amazing, so I'm very much looking forward to the day we have a finished
record in our hands.
