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!
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?
'Selfless'
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Flaming Lips just barely make the cut. Both Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles the Robots are necessary, I think.
The first Decembrists album is still my favorite of theirs.
The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Paste just had 50 albums of the last decade list: [link] (link from stereogum 'cause I'm lazy.)
Indie-heavy list, as expected. My fave among those are prolly Arcade Fire, The National, Flaming Lips, The Decemberists, Sigur Ros, and Libertines. Not on the list and (I think totally underrated) are my two favourite Manicunian bands -- Elbow and Doves.

Yup, I love that. In fact, I watched it for the first time with you at megan_walker's!!!
One thing that will change once bf moves is having a lot more music in my life (again). Steve likes very few bands (our entire repertoire of overlap consists of Green Day, Radiohead, Bowie and the Roots), and really doesn't like folk music. He's also more likely to have the tv on than the stereo.
Oh, and how did I forget:
The Roots!
