The #1 place to get music lists on the internet. Where most lists go to ten, I'll do them one better and go to eleven. Some of the lists will be a "best of" (the good), some will be a "worst of" (the bad), and some lists will focus on unknown bands and music (the unknown).

The 11 Best Songs By Menomena
I'm tired of Apple people claiming that the ipod and itunes are these two apexes of industrial invention. I like the ipod...it's a neat device...but perfection? Far from it. First of all...the scrolling sucks. When you have 500 artists on your ipod, there's nothing more irritating than wanting to listen to Zero 7 or Zwan and needing to spend 5 minutes scrolling through the entire alphabet.
But I think itunes takes the cake when it comes to pure moronic development. Why? There's no play button. Yes, I know there's a play button at the top of the screen. But that's useless. Why is there no play button next to each song? I mean...that's a no brainer, right? Currently, when I want to play a song, I have to double-click on that song. And what happens? Does the song play? No. Itunes thinks I'm trying to change the name of the song and brings up a form box. So then I have to click out of that without accidentally altering the name of the song. Then find a blank portion to double-click on. You know what would be easier??? A PLAY BUTTON. To play music!!! How could you not include that???
Genius? No, but don't tell then Apple people that. They're too busy waiting hours at the Genius Bar to get their perfect computer fixed.
Here are the 11 Best Songs By Menomena:
1. Evil Bee (Friend or Foe)
2. Wet and Rusting (Friend or Foe)
3. Twenty Cell Revolt (I Am The Fun Blame Monster!)
4. Cough Coughing (I Am The Fun Blame Monster!)
5. My My (Friend or Foe)
6. Rotten Hell (Friend or Foe)
7. Pilgrim's Progess (Record Store Day 2010)
8. Strongest Man In The World (I Am The Fun Blame Monster!)
9. Copius (Double Seven Inch)
10. Muscle N' Flo (Friend or Foe)
11. Polo (Wet and Rusting EP)

11 More Best Albums of 2010 (so far)
Last week I made my best albums of 2010 list halfway list. I had a lot of albums I had been listening to, and was unimpressed by most of them. But since then...I took some good recommends from you readers and did some exlporing on my own and found some great albums I had neglected to pick up and some albums I had no idea had even been released. This list does not replace the previous list...nor is it the next best...it's an addendum...for further exploration.
Here are 11 More Best Albums of 2010 (so far):
1. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (epic release from one our generations's best) - only $3.99 for this week!!
2. Anais Mitchell with Justin Vernon - Hadestown (a folk-rock opera...too good to ignore) - only $5.00
3. Menomena - Mines (amazing step forward for this indie rock outfit)
4. O. Childen - O. Children (If Nick Cave sang for Interpol)
5. Gayngs - Relayted (Another Justin Vernon side-project...everything he touches is gold)
6. Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma (stunning DJ mix-mash-jumble-up) - only $5.00!!
7. Jay Bennett - Kicking At The Perfumed Air (...and it's free)
8. Tame Impala - InnerSpeaker (grand indie melodies - a little freaky...but not folky)
9. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - The Brutalist Bricks (there's something to be said for consistency)
10. Delphic - Acolyte (great electronica that borders on trance...but never goes overboard)
11. 22-20s - Shake/Shiver/Moan (straight-up Euro alternative rock) -only $4.89 right now!!
Buy these albums and many more now!!!
