[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

He's not as obscure as your blog, true.

Jay Reatard's profile rose when he died, but some of us were adamant 
followers of his trajectory from the Reatards to Lost Sounds, to his 
solo stuff with Tv Sth of the Adverts, t Nervous Patterns, to Final 
Solutions, etc., etc.

I find it ironic I am on an email list of a  band that began in the late 
1970s yet I am being taken to the cleaners for claiming a genuinely 
talented artist made at least one good song in the last decade, above My 
Chemical romance. That is pretty fucking pathetic.

i've broached lots of new bands here: The Complications, Inepsy, 
Tyrades, World Burns to Death, tTragedy, etc. Generally it's met with 
disdain. I suppose Busta Rhymes, Posta Service, and LCD Soundsystem is 
the way to go.
