A rough sketch of a "Best of the Decade" list
Scott Walker -- The Drift
Grizzly Bear -- Veckatimest
Patton Oswalt -- 222
Mclusky -- Do Dallas
Animal Collective -- Strawberry Jam
Svarte Greiner -- Knive
The Microphones -- Mount Eerie
Mars Volta -- De-Loused in the Comatorium
Califone -- Quicksand/Cradlesnakes
The Handsome Family -- Live at Schuba's Tavern
Dangerdoom -- The Mouse and The Mask
Wilco -- A Ghost is Born
Radiohead -- Hail to the Thief (Yeah, I think it's better than Kid A. Sit on it.)
PJ Harvey -- White Chalk (this spot was originally "Sigur Ros -- Agaetis Byrjun", but then I realized I haven't listened to that one in 3+ years)
Broken Social Scene -- You Forgot it in People
Opeth -- Ghost Reveries
Tom Waits -- Real Gone
Aesop Rock -- Labor Days
Bon Iver -- For Emma, Forever Ago
Dirty Projectors -- Slaves' Grave and Ballads
Yeah, a lot of typical indie bullshit there. But ya know what? Cream rises, and stuff that's TRULY great will inevitably get popular because it's good goddammit.
...Besides, this is only a first draft. If I'm in a more pretentious mood later, maybe I'll replace that BSS with Burning Star Core.
