Best of the Decade (2002)....

Pearl Jam on Letterman tonight as Cheers Heavy mentioned! Finally they will admit the red state conspiracy is true, issue a public apology, schedule a full southern tour and promise yours truly back stage passes to make up for the error of their ways! They will also play a short set in Sullivan Theater after taping the show. Catch it here, http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/live_on_letterman/

I would be remiss if I did not give my take on the new PJ record. I like the new 'aggressive' course they have taken though miss some of the experimental stuff of the last few records. My favorite track so far would have to be the more mellow side of the record, Parachutes. 'I would of fallen from the sky to you, parachutes have opened now.'

Anyway, best records of 2002 here we are:

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (Nonesuch)
Anniversary - Your Majesty (Vagrant)
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights (Matador)
Elected - Me First (Sub Pop)
Joseph Arthur - Redemptions Son (Realworld)
Sigur Ros - ( ) (Fatcat)
Seafood - When Do We Start Fighting (Cooking Vinyl)
Ugly Casanova - Sharpen Your Teeth (Sub Pop)
Velvet Teen - Out Of The Fierce Parade (Slow Dance)
Superdrag - Last Call For Vitriol (Arena Rock)
