MP3: Mclusky - Dethink To Survive#22 - Mclusky - Mclusky Do DallasToo Pure Records 2002Matt On Mclusky Do Dallas:Discordant angular punk-fueled anger is how you could best label Andy Falkous and his (not so) merry band of Welsh liquor hounds. In a just world, Mclusky would be bigger than U2.

MP3: Girls - Laura#22 - Girls - AlbumTrue Panther 2009Joey On Album:It really is weird including a release from this year on a decade list. Shit, this one only came out a few months ago. That's what happens when you don't wait another year to do these things: Oh well. I really like Girls' "Album" and over time, it could even be higher on this list. I think all of the songs are great and it's wa...

MP3: Jana Hunter - A Goblin, a Goblin#23 - Jana Hunter - Carrion EPGnomonsong Records 2007Joey On Carrion EP:I think it says a lot when an EP makes a list made up of albums. I do really, really like this one: the Carrion EP is half new songs and half demos from Jana Hunter's previous record "There's No Home": that math leads to something that is allllllll good. The new songs mesh so well with t...

MP3: Bill Callahan - Too Many Birds#23 - Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were An EagleDrag City Records 2009Matt On Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle:It's always a tough call to include a new album on a decade culminating list, however I feel that this is more than worthy. Either on my computer or turntable, Bill Callahan just speaks so eloquently as if he's a preacher without a church, or ...

MP3: Andreas Mattsson - Summer of Speed#24 - Andreas Mattsson - The Lawlessness Of The Ruling ClassesHybris Records 2006Matt On The Lawlessness Of The Ruling Classes:Taking years to make, the former Popsicle man eschews the meticulousness craft and delicacy with which he crafted a very, very underrated pop masterpiece. In years time, I hope this album is looked at in the manner it deserves.

MP3: Rilo Kiley - So Long#24 - Rilo Kiley - The Execution Of All ThingsSaddle Creek 2002Joey On The Execution Of All Things:This may seem like a kind of cheesy choice these days, and rightfully so: Rilo Kiley played us all for fools. There was such a promise of greater things coming from them and their actor backgrounds were quirks, sure, but it was nothing worth focusing on (though the press s...

MP3: Early Man - War Eagle#25 - Early Man - Closing InMatador Records 2005Joey On Closing In:When I took the plunge into stoner metal a few years back, Early Man were in the forefront of that decision. It saved my brain, giving me faith in music and live shows once more and I will always be thankful for that. "Closing In" is not to be fucked with, every track is a slice leaving you bloodless an...

MP3: Deerhunter - Calvary Scars II / Aux OutAlright here is how this is going to go, and I'm probably only going to say this once: Every day until we finish, myself and Matt Giordano are counting down the very best albums of the decade. We each have our own awesome fucking lists and sometimes we share a few picks. Either way, both lists are the official stance on the music of this decade. Matt ...

(via P4K)I'm on record saying this, but once again: I really did not enjoy High Places when I first heard them. My girlfriend was the one who brought them to my attention and she was beyond on board, but it took quite awhile for it to click on my end. Their self titled full length was what did it for me, and they've been succeeding ever since (like their split with Soft Circle out now on PPM, h...

MP3: Annie - When The NightNOTE: Today's contribution comes from a drenched Matt Giordano, who guarantees today's track will "get you wet". Seriously when we spoke last night all he would talk about was how this song will get you wet. Do you feel wet? The indie press's number one sweet babe Annie is back with her sophomore album, after a bit of label kerfuffle and the like. While a bit of a mix...

This new video for Girls' "Lust For Life" is pretty amazing. There's tits and cocks and all the good stuff. Seriously, some dude uses Hunx's dick as a microphone. Fuck yeah! The bar has been set, rock outfits.It's NSFW but that's only if your job sucks. Who would work at a joint where you can't look at breasts and penises?! Your job fails, mother fucker.(thanks to and via MBV)

MP3: Weezer - Can't Stop Partying (featuring Lil Wayne)MP3: Rivers Cuomo - Can't Stop PartyingLet's call this the second entry of this feature, even though you have yet to see the first. FUCK NO is a series of posts that we think are just awful. A lot of the time, it will be a splash of water in the face of the blogosphere and it's readers, who seem to be circle jerking over something not worth...

MP3: Eels - My Timing Is OffNOTE: Today's contribution comes from blah Matt Giordano, blah blah blah. Blah blah? Fuck blah! The always gangster Mark Oliver Everett released a new Eels album earlier this year, and he is a track for you. "My Timing Is Off" is a great little pop ditty not too dissimilar from the more uptempo numbers on Shootenanny with the more intimate production quality of Blink...

MP3: Girls - HeartbreakerMP3: Girls - LovelifeMP3: Girls - Broken Dreams ClubMP3: Girls - How Can I Say I Love YouI stopped buying weed long enough to pay the bills, so we're back! Hi! It's sort of cruel to be gone for 2 weeks and to return on a Friday, leaving you once again over the weekend. But the backlog of posts are many and in November, Matthew and I will be doing some cooler shit. So ge...

MP3: White Shit - Time Is The BossSecond verse, same as the first when it comes to White Shit, but I just wanted to drop another track from their killer "Sculpted Beef" lp that's out now from PPM. Also, you should know that their new 10 inch from Wantage USA titled "WHITE SHI'ITE" is shipping now. Dube it duber.

MP3: Mean Jeans - Stoned 2 The BoneWas bloggin' around and came across the two 7 inches from Portland's Mean Jeans. They're both pretty sweet but the first one, "Stoned 2 The Bone" is more to the point. Pretty riotous.

MP3: Frankie Rose and the Outs - Thee Only OneHere is the A-Side to the upcoming "Thee Only One" 7 inch single from Frankie Rose and the Outs, whom you might know as ex-Vivian Girls and now ex-Crystal Stilts. Pretty slick pop music, it comes out October 27th on Slumberland.
