So, I was generally just going to abandon the "Best of the zeroes" music post idea, but since

feckalyn asked, here's the 15 I was down to when I said to myself, "Am I really going to cut Sun Kil Moon, The Roots, Modest Mouse and The White Stripes? Right, screw this," and gave up:Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place
TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me
Joanna Newsom - Emily
Amanda Palmer - Ampersand (or possibly Astronaut -- I never could pick between those two)
The Mountain Goats - No Children
The Postal Service - Such Great Heights (or possibly Death Cab For Cutie - The New Year)
PJ Harvey - A Woman A Man Walked By/The Crow Knows Where All The Little Children Go
The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize??
St. Vincent - Now, Now
Of Montreal - The Repudiated Immortals
Erykah Badu - something off New Amerykah (probably Twinkle)
Bjork - Who Is It? (Vitalic Mix)
Regina Spektor - Chemo Limo
Iron and Wine - The Trapeze Swinger
That list isn't in any sort of order, of course, but I suspect The Trapeze Swinger would have taken the top spot. But who knows? Maybe not.
Anyway, that's me (or at least halfway) -- what have you been rocking out to the last ten years?
- Place:The House On Winter Hill, Somerville, MA
- Sound:George Harrison - When We Was Fab

"Everything it it's right place" is rather perfect: though I'd find it rather tough to pick a favourite track off both Kid A & In Rainbows;
I always struggle to pick a favourite TV On The Radio song - but I saw them play a tiny London gig in '08 & "Dreams" was absolutely stunning.
"A Place Called Home" off PJ's "Stories..." record evokes a specifically precise emotion that leave you believing in life & love & hope, which is a rare, rare trait.
I really like "Actor" by St. Vincent - the first half is stunning.
Ummm, otherwise, Interpol was quite fundamental to my college days (the first album especially), I rather love Grizzly Bear's "Yellow House" & well, the title of my journal is a lyric from The National & I pretty much lived and breathed the band between Summer '06 to Summer '08, and thats not drawing a line under anything.
