“New” song from 1997 WMUC session unearthed; read more about it at the Washington Post

This is the final output of much internal deliberation. There are many things that went into picking my top ten albums that were outside the scope of actual music such as how groundbreaking the album was for its time or what it did when as far as changing my taste of music. I am sure that many readers would disaggree with all my picks, but it is hard to debate the facts of my ears.

1. Pavement – Slanted and Enchanted: Luxe and Redux Edition
2. Brian Eno – Another Green World
3. Akron Family – Akron Family and Angels of Light s/t
4. Elliott Smith – Roman Candles
5. Tortoise – Standards
6. Modest Mouse – Lonesome Crowded West
7. Built to Spill – Perfect from Now on
8. Man Man – The Man in a Blue Turban with a Face
9. Can – Tago Mago
10. Seth Olinsky – Sparrow Trout Heart Sprout

PS If you really do disagree with my picks, let me give you some suggestions: Buy some headphones, shut your pie hole, go out into nature and listen again.
