My final 10. These are mine that I have chosen after an in depth look at my library and the music of the decade. Mostly based on my own likes. You don’t have to agree with every song on the list. Compiling this kind of list is no easy task. I sometimes wondered if it was really even necessary, which it is not. I continued because I thought it was an interesting way to look at the past ten...
[20 - 11]
Ah almost done with the list you never wanted. I will be done with clogging up your beautiful tumblr. feed shortly. I think these countdown posts are the longest things on tumblr. No one writes anything… it’s all pictures. I’ve concluded I’m miss using tumblr… sue me see if care. I’m going to hopefully use these final posts to prove my superior taste in...
[30 - 21]
Well here is [30 - 21]. Check it out tell me what you think. Just 20 more songs left? Hate something on the list? Like something on the list? Call it out in the comment section. This the last time I’ll mention it. We are getting down to the nitty gitty, and I think there are some really great songs here. I’m starting to wonder what all of these songs together as a whole say about the...
[40-31]
This next selection of songs helped define the music of the 2000s at least in my ears. From the slightly more obscure to the hits that you couldn’t get away from if you possibly tried. Only three more posts left before the list is through. I have pretty much have everything figured out, save for a few minor ranking adjustments. I’m becoming increasingly interested in seeing what...
Before it was hard to determine what songs were going to be on the list. Now we are getting into the gotta have it stage. These songs have to be on this list. You can tell as you move down the list the commentary gets longer and longer. Just so I can justify my reasoning for having these songs so high on list. In the following installments we are going to do the final 40-1 in increments of...

Well we continue on our quest. A lot more people than expected have been asking me about this list. Scary, because I was sure for a while that I was the only one who cared enough to read this. The ranking of songs is tough, and maybe even a big pointless one can argue, but it gives me an opportunity to listen to some music that I love. Then I get to talk about it, and hopefully someone finds...
Well, thank you for still being with me on this musical journey. We lost a few along the way some when we forged the river, others when they succumbed to typhoid, and many because I refuse to acknowledge ‘Free Bird’s” alleged contribution to every song on this list. Either way we are almost to the end I promise the format of this is/ will get better as we continue. Videos are...
We continue my count down of my favorite/top songs from the 2000s. Working on this portion of the list I really felt like it was getting harder to rank songs. There are so many I love and like for different reasons and songs that just need to be on the list. This was the first time I had to do some major revisions and adding of songs I completely forgot about. For this part I also added a tag...
My Top 250 songs of the 2000s (200- 151)
I’m still wondering if this list is necessary. I have my doubts and second guesses about it, but I think its interesting to look back see what music really made the last decade great. I’m also worried I’m revealing too much through this list. For those of you at home judging I hope the verdict is good…
Shout out to the team at MIT who let me use their supercomputers to...
My Top 250 songs of the 2000s (250- 201)
The way I came up with this list of 250 songs was by compiling a list of the biggest, best, and my personal favorites of each year of the decade. Looking at the list I think its interesting to see how my own musical taste and library have matured over the decade. I hope this blog is around long enough for me to look back on this list and see what I think of this with the added perspective of 10...

MoveOn.org's Spazztic Email list
This is something that has been pissing me off long before Obama was even elected. MoveOn is great at getting people riled up. Then you have all of these energies going every which way and nothing is ever focus into action. Most often they are asking people just to donate to “Lieberman’s Dem opponent” or something of the sort. Some of that is necessary, but it’s the same...

Top 30 Songs of 2009 (15- 1)
Along with each of these song I’ve posted a link to the song, and its companion lyrics from one of my favorite websites Songmeanings.net. I realize not all of the lyrics on that site are correct but the community there is usually pretty good at correcting it.
ENJOY!

Walkabout \ˈwȯ-kə-ˌbau̇t\: rite of passage where male Australian Aborigines would undergo a journey during adolescence and live in the wilderness for a period as long as six months.This is by far my favorite collaboration this year, Atlas Sound and Noah Lennox (Panda Bear of Animal Collective). Clocking in at just 67 words it packs a lyrical punch. I’ve said it...
Top 30 Songs of 2009 (30- 16)
30. It Ain’t Gonna Save Me - Jay Reatard
http://bit.ly/6fFum0
Nothing like a little teen fueled angst to kick off this list. In this first single from Jay Reatard, he is upset, but doesn’t pretend to be pissed off about anything in particular. If I had to guess he is upset about his parent’s suburban lifestyle and two car garage. Luckily for us he uses this angst to create a punk jem called “It...

International Complaint
Dear Bosnia & Herzegovina/ Sovereign Nation Committee,
I would like to file a complaint. Recently during a test of my own worldly knowledge I came across a slight problem when trying to recall the names of some of the countries that once made up the former Yugoslavia. One country in particular caused me much distress, the country of Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Now, I’m sure the country...
