  1. I just received an email saying that this blog named my band The Brother Kite as having one of the Top Ten albums of the decade (thank you very much, btw). I listened to the podcast and one of you said that we need to put something out soon. Just thought I’d let you know that we are getting the masters back this week for our forth-coming album, called Isolation. I don’t know when it will be out, but it IS on the way.

    Thanks again,

  2. Not that you care, Mr. Schneider, but I found your list a little… well… wimpy. 🙂 Here are the 7 best of the decade in no particular order.

    Leviathan – Mastodon
    Elephant – The White Stripes
    Lateralus – Tool
    Death Magnetic – Metallica
    American IV – Johnny Cash
    JJ Cale and Eric Clapton – The Road to Escondido
    Queens of the Stone Age – Era Vulgaris
    By the Way – RHCP

    Oh – and PS – Wolfmother’s first album is much better than Cosmic Egg.

  3. Sorry about the 3 posts – my PC told me i didnt post the first time. Then I added to my list anyway. So sorry for littering on your blog.
