Today I’m continuing my series for “three great albums” for each year beginning in 2007 and working backwards (I’m planning on keeping at this until I reach 1964.) I’m at 1997 today and this is a year I’ve been looking forward to as I think it’s my personal favorite year for music for the last [...]

Previous Entry: 2001 (I’m working my way backwards.) Radiohead – Kid A Not a difficult decision to include Kid A. I still vividly remember the first time I listened to this album back in 2000. I’m sure it helped that I was out of my mind at the time, but it was one of the [...]

First let me define what I mean by “rated” (because without doing that, “underrated” doesn’t mean much.) I’m talking specifically about the “ratings” of people in the US because some of these bands are actually quite highly rated in the UK (The Stone Roses & Oasis being obvious examples.) I’m talking about a combination of [...]

I’ve decided to get into this “best of the decade” game myself. These are my top 10 albums of the 2000s in chronological order with one special rule: No more than one album by any band/artist. This is to keep half of my list from being filled with Radiohead albums. Primal Scream – XTRMNTR (2000) [...]

When choosing my favorite Ween album I usually go back and forth between 1997′s The Mollusk and 2000′s White Pepper. I think these are the albums where they most hit the spot where they really making great music which was still weird but wasn’t taken over by the weirdness and the “jokes” like some of [...]

I love the “tags” on Last.FM, they allow people to tag songs, albums, and artists with any tag they want. Over time those tags accumulate and you can play back a “radio station” based on whatever tag you want. Today I’ve decided to see what music people have tagged “marijuana” by playing the “marijuana” radio [...]

Many people associate the adjective “psychedelic” only with a certain style of music from the 1960s. While I happen to love that certain style of music, I think it’s a mistake to have such a narrow definition. To me psychedelic music is any music that “trips me out.” Usually that means the music has unusual [...]

The other day I posted some Ween music videos. I found that there isn’t very many of them around. Not sure if they just haven’t made very many fo them, or if they haven’t made it online. But anyway, there’s a lot more live Ween. So… Here it is. Some of my favorite songs by [...]

I’m a pretty huge fan of Ween’s music. But I realized today I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Ween music video. Maybe the same is true for you. So I’ve dug some up. “Voodoo Lady” “Freedom pf ’76″ “Push Th’ Little Daisies” Actually, that’s all of the official music videos I can find. Lots [...]

A little late, am I? Fuck off, I’ve been busy. Naturally, I do not claim to be the be-all end-all of 2007 music. There’s a myriad of supposedly music I entirely missed, among them albums by The National, Spoon, John Vanderslice, PJ Harvey, The Super Furry Animals, and Times New Viking. “Favorite Albums of…” sounds [...]
