how is interpol #1 on someone's list of best albums of the decade.

brights lights #8 or even #5 i can see, but antics #1? :erm:

oh, someone with incubus on their list, too. i get it now.

The following are classics. Top of the stack.

BEST At The Drive In - Relationship of Command

I can't rank them by At The Drive In is definitely at the top. It's just jaw dropping how great this album is.

holy shit

It's nice to see someone else with Bows and Arrows on their list.

I've always found Antics to be a much better album than TOTBL. It's a more emotive, bold, creative piece of work.

I think In Rainbows has to be album of the decade. I'll do a comprehensive list later.

Antics is a good album but they the bass was too quiet and the overall vibe is too happy. Although the opening song and Not Even Jail are phenomenal.

Crow Left of Murder is Incubus's best album so props for that.

another one, what are you fucking braindead or was that the first radiohead record you heard

I don't see the point in top 10 lists.

teens and assholes do it

that S-K album is <i>fucking</I> ridiculous

D., you talk a lot of shit for a guy who won't post his own list
i'd have to take my time with it, but anyone who puts +44 as top anything of the 00's has to be 14 years old.

plus, y'know ...
I don't see the point in top 10 lists.

teens and assholes do it

Radiohead-Kid A
My Morning Jacket-Z
Spoon-gimme fiction
Bright Eyes-i'm wide awake its morning
Ryan Adams-heartbreaker
Damien Rice-O
Sigur Ros-takk
Arcade Fire-funeral
Coldplay-rush of blood ( hesitant to put this here, but the fact of the matter was i loved it when it came out)
Nada Surf-Let's Go

I'd do one of these but I fear of being severely out-indie-d.

Here it is anyway.

Rated R - Queens of the Stone Age
Kid A - Radiohead
Amnesiac - " " " "
MACHINA II - SP
Doves - The Last Broadcast
Want One - Rufus Wainright
Life Begins Again - JCC
Takk... - Sigur Ros
Year Zero - Nine Inch Nails
A Maze and Amazement - The Enright House

Things get iffy for me around 7, so I'll just list my top 7.

No particular order:

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
Tom Waits - Real Gone
Eagles of Death Metal - Peace, Love, Death Metal
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
Spoon - Gimme Fiction
Radiohead - Kid A...

...and even though it'll probably get me laughed at, I've gotta list System of a Down - Toxicity here as well. It's shallow as fuck, but like my Eagles of Death Metal pick, it's just a fun album that I still enjoy from time to time.

Fuck you in advance.

seriously? these are best of the decade?:erm:

hell yeah. ESPECIALLY the natalie album, it's awesome.

i'd have to take my time with it, but anyone who puts +44 as top anything of the 00's has to be 14 years old.

27 actually. i'm not ashamed to admit +44 were great.

oh, and i forgot to add: new order - get ready

also didn't realise that "a perfect circle - mer de noms" was 2000, so add that too.

indie pop ahoy

1. Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica
2. Radiohead - Kid A
3. The National - Boxer
4. TV On the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain
5. Arcade Fire - Funeral
6. Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning
7. The Decemberists - Picaresque
8. At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
9. Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
10. The Hold Steady - Stay Positive

i would put merriweather post pavilion on there but it's the only animal collective i've ever heard so i would feel like a bit of a phony

that S-K album is <i>fucking</I> ridiculous

one of my favorites, for sure.

anybody that leaves kid a off their list is retarded. i know art is subjective and whatever but

it's one of the best albums ever

other than Wilco and maybe the S-K album nothing else I posted even qualifies for that.

Radiohead - Kid A
Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
The National - Boxer
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender
The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
Antony and the Johnsons - I Am a Bird Now
Rufus Wainwright - Want

high five?

another one, what are you fucking braindead or was that the first radiohead record you heard

I think In Rainbows is a better record than Kid A. Kid A is excellent but I don't understand the attitude that it is THE GREATEST ALBUM EVER MADE HOLY SHIT!@!@11

In Rainbows basically encompasses everything I love about music. Kid A is just too... inorganic sounding to resonate with me the same way.

i certainly prefer Amnesiac

it's one of the best albums ever



I don't think it is. While unexpected, timely, and has some of Radiohead's best work.. it still has too many weak songs. Namely Treefingers.. bland and boring and In Limbo. In Rainbows doesn't really have any lows and reaches about every high that Kid A had minus The National Anthem.

OK Computer is the only Radiohead album that earns the title ONE OF THE BEST EVER.

in rainbows had tons of weak points, it's more of the same. the whole of Kid A flows seamlessly together the song by song critique is laughable.

i also have to note that people who leave off Kid A often put Lateralus on their list. amusing, that.

you didn't answer my question

no particular order and shows what a shitty decade this had been

Radiohead - Kid A
SP - Machina II
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Lifted or the Story is in the Soil...
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Keane - Self Titled
Scissor Sisters - Self Titled

you didn't answer my question

Was it the first Radiohead record I heard? No. I heard them in this order

Pablo Honey
Ok Computer
The Bends
Kid A
Amnesiac
Hail to the Thief
In Rainbows

I don't know what hearing In Rainbows first would have to do with liking it the most. Also, how is In Rainbows more of the same? It doesn't sound like anything Radiohead has ever done.

yes it does

Kid A >>>>>>>>>>>>> In Rainbows

yes it does

agreed. What the hell?? How does it not?

how is In Rainbows more of the same? It doesn't sound like anything Radiohead has ever done.

yeah your talking out of your ass right there.

he's hearing the distribution model in his ears

Maybe one of you fellows could point me in the direction of the previous releases that are sonically akin to In Rainbows because I just don't hear it.

yeah your talking out of your ass right there.

Also, you are 27, you think some Blink 182 spinoff band is awesome, and you don't know the difference between your and you're.

you don't know the difference between your and you're.

HIGH FUCKING FIVE, MY MAN!

why does everyone have insanely shitty lists.

why does everyone have insanely shitty lists.

why don't you post yours, Buckner?

really don't care for this decade much.

Also, you are 27, you think some Blink 182 spinoff band is awesome, and you don't know the difference between your and you're.

i stand by +44 being great (and blink182) angels and airwaves was just shit, and i'm worried about the new blink being a bit that way.

and thanks for the grammatical correction, i'll be sure to fix it up when i hand in my final. dick.

oh and to answer your question, in rainbows feels like a natural progression from hail to the thief, thro in a bit of amnesiac and kid a and there's nothing "new" sonically. i like the album, not saying it's shit, just it isn't venturing into new ground anywhere near as much as some of their past albums have.

i wonder how many "blink 182 suck" threads there are on the internet

who all want me to post a list say yeah

who all want me to post a list say yeah

how could you pick ten?

creating artificial limits for yourself can enhance your art

oh yeah well i couldnt do this

akron/family - 'akron family'
labradford - 'mi media naranja'
bardo pond - 'on the ellipse'

stuff like that i guess

Maybe one of you fellows could point me in the direction of the previous releases that are sonically akin to In Rainbows because I just don't hear it.

this is one of those APC sounds different than Tool arguments i'm sure

I'd rather be a dick than a 27 year old who likes music for 14 year olds and can't demonstrate a command over 3rd grade grammar.

this is one of those APC sounds different than Tool arguments i'm sure
it does tho

in rainbows doesn't sound like Kid A
or APC doesn't sound like Tool

in rainbows sounds more like hail to the thief
apc sucks but they don't sound like tool at all really

I would agree that there is some natural progression there, but I would hardly say that In Rainbows presents "nothing new" sonically. In Rainbows is a calculated move back to guitar "rock", except it is stylistically NOTHING like their earlier rock records. Anyway, it is less related to Kid A sonically than say, Siamese Dream is to Mellon Collie.

i certainly prefer Amnesiac
twins.

o/

twins.

o/

it's an excellent album, \o

del

No order:

Mercury Rev - All Is Dream

The Music - The Music

Sigur Rós - ( ) (plus Takk)

Placebo - Sleeping With Ghosts

Tindersticks - Waiting for the Moon (plus "Can Our Love...")

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief (In Rainbows is fucking boring!)

Arcade Fire - Funeral

The Tears - Here Come The Tears

The Frames - The Cost

Secret Machines - Now Here Is Nowhere (plus "Ten Silver Drops")

Cherry Ghost - Thirst For Romance

Muse - Absolution

The Dears - Missiles

A Silver Mt. Zion - Horses in the Sky

Silversun Pickups - Swoon

Anyway, it is less related to Kid A sonically than say, Siamese Dream is to Mellon Collie.

you said sounds akin to, your words not mine

so there's your answer.

Right now I'm going with:

Damien Rice - 0 (amazing debut, should've never made that other album)
Bright Eyes - Wide Awake
Tool - 10,000 Days (not a popular opinion to have but to me this is their strongest work yet. Natural progress from Lateralus. A rewarding listen even years after its release)
Elliott Smith - Figure 8 (I'm expecting a few "didn't realize that came out this decade" posts. Come to think of it, I might just prefer New Moon of Elliott's releases this decade, but that's old stuff)
Manic Street Preachers - Journal for Plague Lovers (holy shit I didn't see this one coming, never in a million years would I have expected the Manics to release an album on par with the Holy Bible in 2009)
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a blank planet (the best album I've heard in a couple of years)

Mastodon is probably one of the best bands of the decade, so I have to add at least Crack the Skye and Blood Mountain to my list.

forgotten child saying 2010 is one of the 00's doesn't make any sense man

i know technically the millennium started in 2001 but that decades go from 00 through 09 hence the first digit being 0 which is something '10 doesn't have. that would be the first year of the 10s decade.

to be fair, if i followed your criteria that the decade goes from 01-10 then i would give you pos rep for not saying In Rainbows since I liked HTTT more and probably should have put it on my list since it is pretty damn good

Those're exactly my thoughts... the "world started" at year 1 (there was no year zero)... so the first decade is from 1 to 10, the second decade is from 11 to 20 so this decade is from 2001 to 2010.

That's exactly why the millennium started in 2001 and a new century also started in 2001 and so a new decade started in 2001.



And if you wanna know: Ok Computer > Kid A > HTTT > The Bends > Amnesiac > In Rainbows > Pablo Honey.

I don't see how there being "no year zero" is relevant to the chronological divisions our culture is used to. 1990 was not part of the 80s.

I don't see how there being "no year zero" is relevant to the chronological divisions our culture is used to. 1990 was not part of the 80s.

Maybe just because a decade just could be a period of 10 years. And you just have a period of ten years counting from 1 to 10, not from 0 to 9 or even from 1 to 9.

really don't care for this decade much.

You kind of answered your own question then.

Maybe just because a decade just could be a period of 10 years. And you just have a period of ten years counting from 1 to 10, not from 0 to 9 or even from 1 to 9.

yeah so why don't you just say the decade goes from 05-14 i mean whatever right

we don't count decades so the year-1 reasoning doesn't stand.
decades are 00-09.

Well time has become a man-made construct and not necessarily within our reality. I mean, Einstein concluded that our view of time is an illusion, but his work has been too abstract to influence the way people in modern cultures usually define time. Not only do we think of time as passing, but we've become increasingly obsessed with this idea.

Our obsession is reflected in our clocks, which have become increasingly precise, with modern clocks there is absolutely no room for human error, since it's set by wireless signals that synchronizes them.

Okay anyways, I could talk about this crap forever.

Nice to be back for a little bit, but I'm not promising I'll be back soon. Maybe tonight....tomorrow...or a month from now.

Later turds.

the concept of decades is not very old. it usually refers to a span of 10 years that are marked by the second to last digit, not by tracing back sets of 10 years to the beginning of our era. 00-09 it is.

The Tears - Here Come The Tears

Really now? As happy as I am of somebody here even mentioning anything Brett/Bernard related, I found that album to the single biggest disappointment of the decade along with Zeitgeist. The previous two BA & BB collaborations, especially DMS, were bloody fantastic. Nice guitars, but utterly forgettable. All surface, no feeling.

In Rainbows is better than Kid A

And with the whole sounding similar argument: Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail To The Thief all sound very similar. In Rainbows departs from that mold and comes off as a much more mature sounding album. I also agree with the point that Kid A features numerous weak points where as In Rainbows has only one(House of Cards). In Rainbows is easily Radioheads most complete album since OK Computer, and without surprise is their 2nd best album. I might also possibly put it above OK Computer.

define "mature". more boring?

reckoner is a big piece of shit. on top of being a shit song, it sounds like the rapist grandpa from family guy is on vocals...


ANNND yet again... another thread disintegrates into a "what radiohead album is your fav" debate..

there you have it folks kid a is an immature album. this board should die now

just banana

there you have it folks kid a is an immature album. this board should die now

i don't see how anyone sees Radiohead on some kind of maturity scale past the bends.

yeah so why don't you just say the decade goes from 05-14 i mean whatever right

the concept of decades is not very old. it usually refers to a span of 10 years that are marked by the second to last digit, not by tracing back sets of 10 years to the beginning of our era. 00-09 it is.

05 - 14 <- Here's a decade.

But when you're talking about 90's or 80's or 00's you're talking about a piece of our whole history so you should know that if you are now in our 200th decade that means there were another 19 decades before. If our calendar started in 1 A.D. (and it did) so our 1st decade is from 01 A.D. to 10 A.D. ... then our 200th decade (or 2000's) started in 01, 01, 2001 as the century, as the millenium.

You know, 1 millenium is made of 10 centuries; 1 century is made of 10 decades; 1 decade is made of 10 years .. so if your decade started in 01, 01, 2000, that should be also the beginning of the 21th century and 3rd millenium.

the end.

all this philosophy is a waste of time - the fact is that it is generally accepted that an album released in 1970 was from the 70s as was an album released in 79. Therefore we should be discussing albums released from 2000-2009. jesus christ

it's really not difficult at all
the 90's are the years 90-99
for some reason 00-09 confuses people because there's no (common) name for them

voice implodes made my head implode with that amazingly shitty list.

all this time my brother posted here under the name of voice implodes?

radiohead are the most over rated band of this decade

i still think of radiohead as a 90s band. my iron lung ep, the bends, OK computer are still their seminal stuff to me. if they'd just started their career by releasing Kid A everyone would've been like "huh?" and they're just be some lauded indie group instead of one of the world's biggest.

(don't care if it's mainstream)

<blink>GOD FORBID.</blink>

hooray i provided you some material to reply to. fuck this place.

I read each and every entry on your list. Don't be like that.

i'll just say they stink then

sonic youth - sonic nurse
the mars volta - deloused in the comatorium

nin - year zero
pearl jam - riot act
silversun pickups - carnavas
frank black and the catholics - black letter days
murder by death - red of tooth and claw
radiohead - hail to the thief

I laugh at everyone who says House of Cards is the worst song on In Rainbows.

It's EASILY one of the best.

seriously are you mentally challenged or are you just drunk all the time?

I laugh at everyone who says House of Cards is the worst song on In Rainbows.

It's EASILY one of the best.

those people JUST DON'T GET IT!

this decade was a fucking blur :smoke:

not necessarily a top ten of favorites but more of a "personally developmental" listing (these albums changed me):

IN ORDER ONLY BY MEMORY RECALL:
TSP - machina II (or zeitgeist depending on how you want to look at it - 2 sides of same coin IMO)
Unwound - leaves turn inside you
modest mouse - moon and antarctica
GYBE- lift your skinny fists
wolf eyes - dread
kills - no wow
Wu-Tang - the W
DJ Drama/DJ Don Cannon - any mixtape
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Les Savy Fav - Go Forth

slunken you lose

shit i forgot

i'll be the first to admit i listen(ed) to a LOT of shitty music and i think they all fit into the time-frame so whatev *shrug

http://z.about.com/d/rap/1/0/7/D/-/-/PharoaheMonchDesire.jpg

did we figure out what i decade is yet

No particular order, 11 of them, and I get sick of and find new albums all the time.

The Kills - Midnight Boom
Silversun Pickups - Carnavas
Bjork - Volta
Justice - Cross
Placebo - Meds
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz
Radiohead - Amnesiac
Air - Talkie Walkie
Arcade Fire - Funeral
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Mother Mother - O My Heart

house of cards is the worst song on in rainbows. it would be a quaint 2 minute song but its way too long for a song that has little going on for it.

It's my favorite. I don't understand why it is so hated at all.

Whoever said Nas- Untitled/Nigger should go listen to Stillmatic and God's Son then reevaluate your posting of that album for this decade.

IN ORDER ONLY BY MEMORY RECALL:
TSP - machina II (or zeitgeist depending on how you want to look at it - 2 sides of same coin IMO)


man there's been a lot of silly shit said in this thread, but this.... :erm

M2>>>>>>>>>>shiteigeist

well no shit. but i think the band getting back together and putting out a shitty album cancels out putting out a great album and breaking up. two sides of the same coin.

you mean half the band

also how is machina 2 great or an album

It's my favorite. I don't understand why it is so hated at all.

i just said why. do you listen to what other people say

kweli is such an incredible lyricist. i was listening to the new mos def album a few weeks ago and lyrically it was pretty mediocre until kweli showed up on one of the last tracks and tore everything the fuck down, to the point where mos stepped up his game too.

still hoping for another black star album

you mean half the band

also how is machina 2 great or an album

how is machina 2 an album? quit playin'

what do you like about machina 2

i'm far too fickle to do any top-ten list, really, but i'd have to say that i am in love with grizzly bear's 'veckatimest' more so than any album i can remember in a long, long time, so it might have to be in my top-ten if were to try and make a list.

what do you like about machina 2

the "shitty" production

tell me more. i think it really is shitty production. and there's lot of awful singing and songwriting. there's actually nothing good about it. straight 0.5/5 for me

yeah i think the only song from machina 2 that made the cut on my HD was Dross. I liked the earlier version of Speed Kills rather than what made it onto the "Album"

my favorites:

SP - Machina
Beck - Sea Change
Beck - The Information
The Birthday Massacre - Nothing & Nowhere
QOTSA - Lullabies to Paralyze
Skinny Puppy - Mythmaker
Scarling - Sweet Heart Dealer
Scarling - So Long, Scarecrow
NIN - With Teeth
Apoptygma Berzerk - You & Me Against the World

Between the Buried and Me - Colors
Neurosis - A Sun that Never Sets
Gogol Bordello - Gypsy Punks Underdog World Strike
Aesop Rock - Labor Days
Two Gallants - What the Toll Tells
Radiohead - Kid A
Asobi Seksu - Citrus
Jesu - Silver
Opeth - Deliverance
Tom Waits - Blood Money

Honorable mentions to Secret Machines, MSTRKRFT, Drive-By Truckers, The Hold Steady, Wilco, Modest Mouse, and Mastodon

Reading back through this thread I was apalled by many things. Mostly by the people who complain about the lack of quality in this decade when there is so much great shit out there right now. Fuck I have seven honorable mentions with about ten or twenty more milling around up in my brain.

I will also say In Rainbows is a very different album from previous Radiohead, in that it has a very minimalist, almost reggae influenced feel to it. The "vibe" so to speak is totally new for them. And "House of Cards" is my favorite for that very reason, the relaxed, chilled out vibe.

if house of cards is your favorite song on in rainbows then you're officially stupid

if house of cards is your favorite song on in rainbows then you're officially stupidyou've been making this post since october '07. jesus christ.

what do you expect when i come into this thread and people are saying that its the best song off in rainbows

did you think hazards of love was as crappy as i thought it was neopryn

i wouldn't say it's crappy but it's definitely not in the same league as their other shit

that said i paid $42 to see them in august. wouldn't have done it if they hadn't canceled their date here last time.

id imagine some of hazards of love might be better live, at least

the album is like a musical without the visuals as it is

i paid 15 grand for thom yorke to hang out with me for 2 hours

i paid 15 grand for thom yorke to hang out with me for 2 hours
I would sooner pay 30 grand for him than 15 for uwe boll corgan

i think jonny greenwood's there will be blood soundtrack is better than in rainbows

tell me more. i think it really is shitty production. and there's lot of awful singing and songwriting. there's actually nothing good about it. straight 0.5/5 for me

yeah i think the only song from machina 2 that made the cut on my HD was Dross. I liked the earlier version of Speed Kills rather than what made it onto the "Album"

Crazy. I like the tongue-in-cheek nature of Machina(s). It sounds like Cheap Trick meets Slayer. I think Machina II (Q101 rip) in particular sounds amazing through headphones. I like how buried the mix is. I think the sentiment is best expressed on the Jay Leno performance of Cash Car Star. It's kind of goofy and kind of heavy. It's got that midwestern "we've gone too far" vibe, which I like.

And for some reason I feel it necessary to justify that I'm a MCIS-baby. So it's not like Machina was "my" album or anything. I dunno. How 'bout that c_wilson amirite?

have you ever listened to slayer

Just for laffs I'm going to say "no"

but surely you can't deny that there's a lot of absolutely terrible songwriting on there

that heavy metal machine outtake is even more horrible than the original by a significant margin and HMM is one of the worst songs ever

Yea, I'd agree to both of that. When it's good it's really good and when it's bad it's really bad. So at least it's not mediocre, y'know? I still like it, though. Probably because it is such a challenge to listen to. I like difficult listening because I think the potential rewards are greater. IDK. :/

Or maybe you are 4 inches too deep

When it's good it's really good and when it's bad it's really bad.
when is it good though

did you think hazards of love was as crappy as i thought it was neopryn

awww, I think it's awesome :/

I'm going to see them on August 1. I've never seen them before, so I'm pretty excited.

when is it good though

It would take me less time to tell you when it's not good than to tell you when it is.

Innosense
Le Deux Machina

That's about it for me. The rest is good to incredible. Home is one of the, if not the best song Billy has ever written.

Dross

It sounds like Cheap Trick meets Slayer.

wait, what??

dayum

an 00's upload thread would be nice if some cool people would participate

but i think such spontaneous public gatherings are banned in this country

awww, I think it's awesome :/

I'm going to see them on August 1. I've never seen them before, so I'm pretty excited.

when i saw them a few years back they were great live

hopefully promoting hazards of love won't prevent them from playing the mariner's revenge song

but i think such spontaneous public gatherings are banned in this country

and you would be correct in thinking so

an 00's upload thread would be nice if some cool people would participate

but i think such spontaneous public gatherings are banned in this country
o no u didnt

i've been going through my folders and finding lots of great albums i haven't listened to in a couple years

i'm sure others who were around in the early 00's probably have good shit i missed. wasn't really downloading in large volumes until late 02.

06 for me. it's a problem.

weren't you really into the mars volta tho

me? i don't think so. i thought the tremulant ep was ok when it came out but i remember thinking deloused was unbearably dumb.

got you confused then

in 2002 i listened to mudhoney a lot

officially i posted those tracklists in april 2003.

in march 2002 i posted this in a best of 2001 thread:

"unfortunately i haven't heard a lot of the albums you guys are listing (at least, in toto). i'll probably get to downloading a lot of them.

out of what i have:

1. Dismemberment Plan - Change
2. The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
3. Modest Mouse - Everywhere and his Nasty Parlour Tricks
4. Terrene - Sidereal
5. The Shins - Oh, Inverted World"

i spent a lot of time listening to music in that next year.

age 19 was a formative year

wait, what??

I said IT SOUNDS LIKE CHEAP TRICK MEETS SLAYER. I'm talking about conceptual sound. I could have just as easily said it sounds like Mountain meets Pantera. But that would be too easy.

edit: I forgot about the Liars "Threw us in a trench..." album. Shit ruled.

slunken has clearly never heard Cheap Trick or Slayer.

And, judging by his love of Machina II, he has never heard any band not called The Smashing Pumpkins.

judging by his posts slunken has quite probably heard about ten times as many albums as you have

I had to uncheck him off my ignore list just to read that. Yep, still an idiot. Back on the list.

I said IT SOUNDS LIKE CHEAP TRICK MEETS SLAYER. I'm talking about conceptual sound. I could have just as easily said it sounds like Mountain meets Pantera. But that would be too easy.



it's a very strange comparison, is all

Agreed. Wanna know my Bluegrass-to-Metal ontology?

Hint: They're the same thing.

i have no time for this lunacy!

Heh. Just sayin'. But I guess this thread isn't the appropriate place for that in-depth analysis (read: my dodgy speculations and truth-stretching).

you should download that Sunburned record i posted, if you havent heard it already

I could never find one of their albums that really REALLY hooked me. I did enjoy that Head of Wantastiquet album that Paul put out tho. What the hell, I'll give it a shot.

headdress and fire escape are good albums

headdress and fire escape are good albums

listen to Jaybird, man.

I'm trying to impose the "only as good as their last album" rule with bands that I'm not that into. I remember hearing Headdress and liking it okay, but it really didn't grip me. I was telling someone on another board that I'm really not into digital collecting anymore. If i like something I've got to really like it enough to buy it. If not, fuck it. Thank god I didn't just now find out about TSP lol rite?

i'm not into collecting at all and i don't have any money

i just like sounds is all

i just like sounds is all

I have to severely limit myself otherwise I get overwhelmed. I go through phases a lot. Right now I'm on a Blues-oriented kick, so that Sunburned album is sounding good. Plus I've got a gnarly sunburn.

some of my favorite albums of the decade would probably *******

queens of the stone age - songs for the deaf
radiohead - amnesiac
broken social scene - you forgot it in people
sparklehorse - it's a wonderful life
the fiery furnaces - gallowsbird's bark
department of eagles - in ear park
at the drive-in - relationship of command
the arcade fire - funeral
bloc party - silent alarm
the walkmen - everyone who pretended to like me is gone
the unicorns - who will cut our hair when we're gone?
blonde redhead - misery is a butterly
interpol - turn on the bright lights
the strokes - is this it
circulatory system - circulatory system
the decemberists - picaresque

building nothing out of something is also one of my favs but its a compilation and theres some disagreement about when it was released

i think i'd find a slot in my list for shellac
the end of radio, what a song

Ok let's do it

1- Radiohead - Kid-a

2- Shannon Wright - Over the sun

3- TV on the radio - Desperate youth... (I know it's an EP but)

4- Evangelista - Hello,voyager

5- Radiohead - Amnesiac

6- Blonde redhead - Misery is butterfly

7- Portishead - Third

8- Xiu Xiu - La foret

9- Sleater-kinney - One beat

10 - Liars - Drum's not dead

except that I don't even know what I'm doing

ewwwww

I wanna squeeze this in

http://www.mozes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/pj_harvey-john_parish-a_woman_a_man_walked_by_b.jpg

It's my favorite. I don't understand why it is so hated at all.

house of cards makes me vomity
i skip it
