  • Happy New Year Everyone

    Here is my personal favorite albums TOP10 of 2000-2009
    (This list excludes all the great music I discovered in the last ten years that was made in the previous century):

    1. Elliott Smith – Figure 8
    2. The Kills – Midnight Boom
    3. The Strokes – Is This It
    4. Rufus Wainwright – Poses
    5. Anthony & The Johnsons – I am a Bird Now
    6. Kate Bush – Aerial
    7. The Rollstons – Doing Time
    8. The White Stripes – Elephant
    9. The Dears – Gang on Losers
    10. Joanna Newsom –Ys

    There were tens and tens of other albums I wanted to put on this list, but this is it for today.
    I tried to choose ones that I know all the lyrics to, as that’s a pretty good indication to how much I listened to an album. It saddens me to see how few women ended up on this top10. the reality is that I spent most of my 2000s listening to music from the 1960s, 70s and 80s and there were a lot of women in that bunch!

    Happy New Year and thank you for reading this! I’ll be back next year!
