Ähnlich geht es den traditionellen Cargo Records Jahresbestenlisten unserer Kolleg*innen - die ändern sich inhaltlich sehr wohl, doch egal wie bewegt das Jahr historisch, gesellschaftlich, politsch war, die bloße Existenz dieser Listen genau zu dieser Zeit des Jahres ändert sich nicht. Irgendwie tröstlich.
Wir von Cargo Records hoffen, dass sich 2023 Einiges ändert (wir haben für das, auf das wir direkten Einfluss haben, auch schon Einiges an Plänen geschmiedet...) und wünschen fröhliche Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch.

Hier sind unsere Jahresbestenlisten 2022.
