DIG THIS! Special: 2001 at the Halfway Mark...
Various Writers, Rock's Backpages, June 2001
Folks, this month weve decided to forego our usual playlist format and instead give yall the lowdown on the discs which have rocked our world since January: in other words, RBPs BEST OF THE YEAR THUS FAR. Not to mention the ones were looking forward in the second half...
So from Air to Zoot Woman, via Lucinda Williams and the Moldy Peaches (thats two separate acts, people!!), heres a veritable cornucopia of pop past, present and futuristic in all its daft (not to mention punky) diversity.
Total word count of piece: 3390
