Friday Fun: The Grey Album – 27. November, 2009

In the spirit of the now officially open Christmas shopping season, allow me to add to your “Black Friday” frenzy and put my money where my mouth is… or would that be in your mouth?

Were you suddenly turned on?
Was that just me?
Let’s move on, shall we?

A couple of posts ago I explained why THE GREY ALBUM by Danger Mouse (with Jay-Z & The Beatles) is the undeniable album of the decade.

A few of you have heard of it but have never actually heard it.  Well, if you’re too lazy to Google it you’re in luck.

All I ask is that you leave your thoughts on my blog (not on my Facebook feed).

Hope you survive the shopping madness and happy Friday.

The Double Nought Decade in Music – 25. November, 2009

So it’s that time of the decade where everyone makes a list of the best/most important albums of the past ten years. After looking at the lists, a lot of the same names start cropping up. For examples, most lists will have…

Stankonia-OK.jpg

WhiteBloodCells-WS.jpg

99Problems-JZ.jpg

Transatlanticism-DcfC.jpg

Which are all very good but if this is what defines a decade, well, it was often an excellent decade but did any of these albums/songs break new ground or set the world aflame? Personally, I’d have to argue that this was the song of the decade…

And I think this is the album that defined a decade dominated by music piracy (Napster turned 10 this year) and laptop maestros…

Okay, some of you will say that I’m being unduly hard on this nascent century or that I’m just a child of the 90s but can we take a look at some of the albums that defined the last decade?

Yeah, right, I know! Unbelievably great albums.

Okay, let’s see if the 2000′s teen years can kick some ass.
