self-righteous, but never right
while thinking about the 10 best albums of the decade, i realized my selections didn't exactly reflect who i thought were the best artists/bands, many of whom had put out a strong collection of work, but not necessarily a top 10 album. so here goes.
new pornographers - indie supergroup, pure pop perfection, nearly
calexico - california-mexican border mariachi/jazz, of sorts.
decemberists - old timey music, i guess, but not like "oh brother where art though"
against me! - punk with country and folk flirtations
iron and wine - folk
the hold steady - the band jim carroll wanted to be? drug culture, religious themes: shake and bake.
death cab for cutie - emo without the feedback
okkervil river - alt country
sufjan stevens - folk explosion
a few that span to past 2 decades:
guided by voices - beatles deconstructed
alejandro escovedo - folk, country with a punk ethos
brian jonestown massacre - neo psychedelic
built to spill - emo jam band
