lets celebrate the 00s

god damn, this album sounds better today than it ever has before

ah, and still great

maybe someday i'll like this again

no

i was 11 in 2000. i got into "indie rock" sometime in there. I found The Unicorns. Pitchfork dominated a big portion of my listening back then. Walking through my high school listening to The Field senior year.

good memories.

I never liked Blueberry Boat till a few years ago though. I love it now.

It's insane how much music I have from the 2000s, considering I was born in 76. Ah, the digital age. Everything's more accessible.

So I don't even know where to start here. There is too much great stuff from that decade, from every genre I enjoy. Nothing stands out as distinctly 00s to me. It hasn't been long enough for it to form a musical identity.

Unicorns baby montreal represent holy shit that reminds me of high school

the glow pt. 2 is still one of my favourite albums ever

just off the top of my head -

fugazi - the argument

flaming lips - yoshimi battles the pink robots

...and you will know us by the trail of dead - source tags and codes

early caribou (manitoba!)

GY!BE were still novel and not the forerunners of an entirely played out genre

yeah yeah yeahs weren't boring yet

radiohead was still tolerable (sorry kids i hate anything past amnesiac)

def jux was still hot shit in the hip hop world (ace rizzle, cannibal ox!)

max tundra - mastered buy guy at the exchange ffs

sonic youth - sonic nurse (hey i liked it)

the books got good

sung tongs!

dead cities, red seas, and lost ghosts (though i much prefer saturdays=youth now, dead cities was amazing when it came out)

the last gasp of modest mouse

yes it was a good time for independent music

oh and there was still a lot of really good post-hardcore and prehistoric emo coming out of labels like level plane and jade tree and polyvinyl

i was going to post these too. rediscovering source tags and codes the other day is what got me on this trip. teenage masterpiece, it's still great.

GYBE were very mystical back then.

grizzly bear - yellow house

....test icicles

cursive

Hell yes. Don't care for Yellow House as much as Veckatimest though, and lost interest in Cursive after the last one, but they were great live. As were Mars Volta on the Frances the Mute tour. Never got to see AtD-I but I like 'em.
