Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Yeah, Sue, that was one weird hoax. Gotta love all those "journalists" who picked up a story based on a single blog report.

Help for the musically inattentive? What are the things I should totally have listened to in the past 10 years?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do you want personal favorites or canonical greatest hits of the decade?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Some of my faves from the last decade (who are also critically acclaimed):

  • Animal Collective
  • Fiery Furnaces
  • The New Pornographers

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

In the "bands one should be familiar with" category, I'd submit:
Arcade Fire
Fountains of Wayne
Garbage
Green Day
The Killers
Moby
Tegan & Sara (not really, but a favorite)
The White Stripes

Sort of a random list, but I'm at work.

Oh! Crystal Stilts! (From the last this year)

I think I've raved about them before.

And The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs (all three volumes) will be considered a classic, if it's not already.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Depending on how your tastes run, I'm going to suggest my "holy trinity:"

Lucero - southern rock influenced by Springsteen and such

Cory Branan - Southen folk - amazing songwriting

Corb Lund - Canadian cowboy music

is making notes

I have about half of these, and of those that I have, I do like them. So the other half are definite downloads!
