as you are i am sure aware, i ttly love making lists. after reading sebastian’s list of albums for each year since he has been alive, i decided to traverse back in time and point out my favorite albums of the past few decades-worth of years.

here is the 2000s addition:

2002

The Sounds
Living in America
(New Line)

2002 featured Spoon’s Kill the Moonlight, Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and great albums from the likes of The Movies, No Knife, Thievery Corporation, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Engine Down, Flaming Lips, Broken Social Scene and Liars. And also Trail of Dead’s best (Source Tags & Codes) as well as an amazing Against Me! record.

BUT, Interpol’s Turn on the Bright Lights and The Sounds’ Living in America were the best records of ‘02. I probably unfairly downplay Interpol’s debut because of the shit they have released since, but at one time it was one of my favorite albums in history. It doesn’t really matter though because The Sounds’ debut is just so amazing and catchy and always flashbacks so many memories of boozing it up for days at a time and getting insane and being insane and plus the band is just so damn good looking. No way is any other album beating this baby out.

hey duders i have beeen AWOL lately befcause i have been so insanely busy gathering the album art for every one of my albums. it took weeks but it was worth it:

amazing, right?> omg i know. keep an eye out for posts with the best and worst of those covers. anyway, on to business:

what a dick.• fantasy football, omfg i hate you so bad :( romo out for 4 weeks and my backup is kitna. the best available option on the waivers is griese. i am fucked season over. that said, thank you jason elam, tampa bay defense, thomas jones, and matt schaub, for helping me win in a few leagues this week with a bunch of my top playres on byes. ilu

• i really havent had that much time to scope out new albums as i have been so busy with my album art project, but there have been a few: margot & the nuclear so & so’s released two new ones, animal and not animal, (one chosen by their new label, epic, and the other chosen by the band). both are
good though. so get them. also, dungen has a new one (4). i havent had a chance to listen to much of it, but it’s more or less what you’d expect from them at this point. pretty good so far. and i just discovered that you should go ahead (who made an appearance in my top 25 albums of 2006 list) has released a new album, which i am downloading now. also, the dodos new album visiter (with its hilarious cover art that alan hates but i thinks is awesome) is A-FUCKING-MAZING. please get it now. omg so good. and, the main event:

• possibly my favorite band on the planet, pidgeon finally (FINALLY AFTER FOUR LONG LONG LONG YEARS) have released a new album, which is titled might as well go eat worms. and it is everything i was hoping for and more. please if there is any album you download this year and you like the pixies and early sonic youth, DOWNLOAD THIS ALBUM RIGHT FUCKING NOW OR I WILL KILL YOU. i have no idea why pidgeon isn’t huge, because both of their albums are ridiculously amazing. i love you pidgeon i love you i love you i love you i love you <33333333

• just recently watched the devil and daniel johnston, omg that movie is awesome. i never really got into johnston before, mostly bcuz i always thought he was some freak weirdo like devendra banhart, but seeing who he really is actually made me like his music and genius like, 898700000 times more.

• if you havent been watching this season of it’s always sunny in philadelphia, ummm wtf is wrong with you? stop reading my blog. the poop episode is the greatest episode of anything ever in the history of ever. seriously, i am not even kidding.
