Should I download the Morphine and Son Volt songs, or wait until the album list and download the whole albums? Never heard either group. Hold on... do you y'all send the thing the albums on the album lists, Bill?

Ay ay ay, I am confus-ed.
In the past he hasn't. I know for a few of the lists, we've had seperate threads with that, so be on the lookout for that or start it yourself once the list starts if you have any of it to post.

Wilco - "Can't Stand It" I thought it would be nice to up the B-sides to the two singles.

So, I figured I'd get in the spirit of things, and listen to everything that I had previously brushed off.
I hate that ASH song. So damn sing-songy. Well, maybe that isn't it, since I like BDB. But this song is really horrible.
I love the go team song (and the video), voted for wilco and morphine.
Most everything else just bored me. I'd give the Jens Lenkman a bigger shot, had some interesting things going on, just a little.....bland?. The production on the Aaliyah is pretty cool.

Good list thus far. It's nice to see all the middling rock like Pete Yorn go out early. I hope this bodes well for the Jaxx and all things electronic, homosexual and/or kittenish in nature.
Streets song is easily the best thing we've seen. The Rokysopp remix is one of the best musical encapsulations of the dance culture I know of. It's "Losing My Edge" for British blokes.
