In my freshman art-class I silkscreened a "Repeater" hoodie that looked like a ransom note. It was horrible. I wore it every single day.

I seem to vaguely remember wearing a homemade Nitzer Ebb T-Shirt I created when I was about 15.

I seem to vaguely remember wearing a homemade Nitzer Ebb T-Shirt I created when I was about 15.

The name rings a bell. Did some reading at wikipedia:

Nitzer Ebb began when Bon Harris and David Gooday asked Douglas McCarthy to sing in their band. They shared an interest in witchcraft, talking to trees, and collecting runestones in Chelmsford and Little Baddow

For OH:

3.13 Shellac, The End of Radio (8:27)

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

Then please allow me. I just read these posts from yesterday.Albini has described the song as an extended metaphor for getting what one has always wanted, but under circumstances that make it unenjoyable.

The song's narrator is the last man alive on Earth. He has always wanted to be a broadcaster and can finally fulfill his ambition.

The odd, disintegrating rhythm whacked out primitively on Trainer's snare drum and Weston's repetitive 2 chord line simultaneously evoke feelings of loneliness and urgency while belying the narrator's fake-professional DJ-speak ("This is the sound of modern moonlight!" "Signing off for Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea . . ."). The song briefly coalesces around the "choruses" as the narrator becomes increasingly aware of his condition and the tension created is released in howls ("Can you hear me now!? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?")--but falls apart again as the narrator realizes that his ambition is meaningless, that he is alone on Earth, that radio has come to an end.

This kind of dramatic irony isn't new to Shellac--they've mined similar territory in "The Billiard Player Song", "Squirrel Song", and "Canaveral"--but "The End of Radio" is the most complete realization of those ideas. Musically, the song is fascinating to me because it barely functions as a "song". Held together by a simple bass line and some arythmic thwacking, it creates all of the anxiety and tension/release the more "difficult" or technically accomplished playing. It is kind of incredible to me that a drummer as amazing as Todd Trainer can play that intentionally awkwardly.

The song is best experienced live, I think.

Music is the universal language. So is Esperanto

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I've been following along (though a few pages behind) and I've been forcing myself to listen to every song drafted in it's entirety. It's been pretty fun because I am hearing some new stuff that I like and will want to explore further, and I'm also hearing some stuff I really don't like which makes me wonder about the person that selected it as the best of the 00s.

As I've been listening, I've been making short comments on the songs and ranking them according to my favorites. Of course, this is all a matter of taste, but you may find this entertaining. At the very least you'll enjoy the youtube comments I've read and included occasionally.

So, without further ado, here are my rankings and comments for the first two rounds:

1 2.03 Professor S Johnny Cash Hurt (3:38) Awesome song. Definitely one of the best of the 00s

2 2.11 Jzilla Tool Schism (6:47) :h: Tool

3 2.18 piratemike Outkast B.O.B. (5:04) Uno, dos, tres, it's on…

4 1.16 Jzilla Muse New Born (6:03) Song rocks - new music to me, which is kind of an added bonus.

5 2.21 Postradamus The White Stripes Seven Nation Army (3:51) The track that got me (and I suppose many others) into The White Stripes

6 2.23 Tremendous Upside Yeah Yeah Yeahs Maps (3:39) Youtube comment: This is among my few very-modern favorite bands, a twist of black, Enthrawelling.

7 1.07 Disco Stu Franz Ferdinand Take Me Out (3:57) Great song…one I actually knew which was a nice change.

8 1.05 Abrantes TV on the Radio Wolf Like Me (4:39) Good tune…rocks

9 1.21 Northern Voice The Arcade Fire Rebellion (Lies)

10 2.26 KarmaPolice The White Stripes Black Math (3:03) Kick-### guitar.

11 1.26 Bonzai The Walkmen The Rat (4:27) I knew this song, but didn't know that band. Very good!

12 1.19 John Madden's Lunchbox Interpol NYC (4:19) Most Interpol sounds the same, luckily I like the sound

13 1.15 The Dreaded Marco TV on the Radio Staring at the Sun (4:01) Youtube: It really encapsulates those transient instances of pure wonderment

14 1.04 Tremendous Upside My Morning Jacket One Big Holiday (5:21) Good song, nice guitar solo at the end.

15 1.24 Professor S Gnarls Barkley Crazy (2:58) Good tune. I'm a little worn out on it, but still good. GB Cee-lo.

16 2.15 valence The White Stripes Hardest Button to Button (3:32)

17 2.09 Kumerica Jay-Z 99 Problems (3:54) "You're crazy for this one, Rick!" GB Rick Rubin

18 1.06 Postradamus The Arcade Fire Wake Up (5:35) Youtube: Your so in touch with your gay side

19 2.07 The Future Champs The Postal Service Such Great Heights (4:26) Had only heard this as an Iron & Wine song…like it.

20 1.18 Kumerica Outkast Hey Ya! (4:11) There's a few songs that are better on this album, but none were more popular than this.

21 1.25 Eephus Gorillaz Feel Good Inc. (3:41) I like this song…not my favorite from Gorillaz though.

22 2.10 Tiananmen Tank The Arcade Fire Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels) (4:48)

23 2.01 Bonzai The Arcade Fire Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out) (5:12)

24 1.11 Steve Tasker Radiohead How to Disappear Completely (5:56) One of the better of the million radiohead songs picked early

25 2.25 AcerFC Eminem Lose Yourself (5:20) Youtube: @JustForMyMemory ur a slut no one likes u slut

26 2.05 tyler_cracker Gorillaz D.A.R.E. (4:04)

27 2.04 D_House Fleet Foxes Mykonkos (4:35) Youtube: So delicate and rhythmic. Really beautiful.

28 1.08 Nigel Tufnel My Morning Jacket Mahgeeta (5:57)

29 2.16 Steve Tasker The Killers Jenny Was a Friend of Mine (4:04) It's got a beat and I can dance to it.

30 1.12 valence Radiohead There There (The Boney King of Nowhere) (5:23)

31 2.08 John Madden's Lunchbox The Strokes The Modern Age (3:22) Youtube: a melhor banda da nova geração na minha opinião

32 1.20 The Future Chamops The Hold Steady Massive Nights (2:54)

33 1.17 Tiananmen Tank Radiohead Life in a Glasshouse (5:06) Nice trumpet

34 2.06 Northern Voice Spoon The Way We Get By (2:38) Catchy, not a lot to it.

35 2.19 Nigel Tufnel Deerhunter Nothing Ever Happened (5:50) Nice song, good strong guitar work.

36 1.02 AcerFC Green Day American Idiot (2:54)

37 2.22 Abrantes LCD Soundsystem All My Friends (7:37) Better than the first LCD drafted by a long shot.

38 1.23 D_House The Thermals A Pillar of Salt (2:57) I liked the music, didn't care much for the lead singer's vocals.

39 1.09 piratemike McLusky Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues (1:51) Interesting noises. Lambs of Abortion version on youtube was entertaining.

40 2.02 Eephus Amerie 1 Thing (3:55) Catchy as far as crappy pop/r&b goes. Plus she's hot.

41 2.20 Disco Stu My Morning Jacket Worldess Chorus (4:12)

42 2.12 drpill Boards of Canada Alpha and Omega (7:02) 70s electric vibe…drugs, anyone?

43 2.24 The Dreaded Marco LCD Soundsystem Losing My Edge (7:53) So, this is basically a dude with a casio keyboard?

44 1.13 Oliver Humanzee Wilco Ashes of American Flags (4:44) Sounds like a bad Elvis Costello impression

45 1.22 tyler_cracker Radiohead Where I End And You Begin (The Sky Is Falling In) Youtube: This song whit the lyrics have moved me some how. music does that sometimes. i hope ill find back.. see you again

46 2.17 AhrnCityPahnder Broken Social Scene Cause = Time (4:14)

47 2.14 Oliver Humanzee The New Year The End's Not Near (3:43) This guy needs a hug.

48 2.13 Uncle Humuna Red Hot Chili Peppers Dani California (4:42) One of the worst RHCP tracks, imo

49 1.10 AhrnCityPahnder Modest Mouse Perfect Disguise (2:43) I kept waiting for something to happen here…2 mins of buildup to… nothing.

50 1.01 KarmaPolice Radiohead Morning Bell (4:35) Another radiodud

51 1.14 Uncle Humuna Green Day Jesus of Suburbia (9:08) Long, repetitive, same ol' Green Day guitar riffs. Painful.

52 1.03 drpill Radiohead Idioteque (5:09) Just awful. Hey look, I can make music on a computer!
