GBU 2000s front cover FINAL

It’s been one week since the release of our first book and the reception has been incredibly unexpected.  I thank everyone who has purchased the book…and am giving the stink eye to everyone who has not.  If you haven’t picked up a copy yet…here are some amazing points at why you should.

 The 11 Best Reasons to Buy The 111 Best Music Lists of the 2000s:

  1. There are 111 lists – where most books go to 100 ours does them 11 better and goes to 111.
  2. It features many good artists including: Arctic Monkeys, Beck, The National, Wilco, and Radiohead
  3. It features many bad (ass) artists including:  The Black Keys, The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and the Foo Fighters
  4. It features unknown artists including: The Dirtbombs, Jay Reatard, Assemblage 23, Mr. Lif, and the Great Lake Swimmers
  5. It cost less money ($12.95) than a concert ticket and it lasts longer
  6. Reading makes you smarter.  This book will make you 111 times smarter.
  7. It makes for a great Christmas gift and a belated Hanukkah gift for all your Jewish friends
  8. It is proven to kill flies if you hit them hard enough with it
  9. It is a great conversation starter for a boring New Year’s party (or any party for that matter)
  10. It is the perfect guide for making a ’00s playlist for a ’00s-themed party.
  11. There’s a secret ending just like in the Marvel movies which hints at a bigger story.  Sorta.

The Unknown: Thom Yorke – The Pencil

 I don’t get the whole Digital Music bullshit.  My last three takedowns were all for posts where there was no music links.  Seriously.  The last takedown was from a bad review I gave of the last Dixie Chicks album….four years ago!  Yes, I got a takedown letter for giving a bad review!!  So let me get this straight…I can give away your product as long as I say something nice about it.  No wonder your industry is crumbling.

 One band who gets it is Radiohead.  Thank God for Radiohead.  I respect Radiohead so much, I’ll buy anything they do just to support them.  Even when their drummer decides he’s talented enough to do his own solo album.  I know what you’re thinking, he’s no Dave Grohl, but you know what…Phil’s in Radiohead.  And that’s not a bad gig.  If you haven’t heard the album, go get it now.  You’ll be happy you did.

 Here is Thom Yorke – The Pencil:

 1.  All For The Best

2.  Hearing Damage

3.  Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses

4.  The Hollow Earth

5.  Jetstream

6.  A Rat’s Nest

7.  Iuvya

8.  The Drunkk Machine

9.  After The Goldrush
