Looking back at the past decade was tough for us at Knox Road. This was the decade we grew up in. We went through puberty, graduated high school and drank our first beers to this music. So when looking at what music is the “best” of the decade, it’s damn near impossible to separate the ones that are critically better than the ones we feel strongly attached to on an emotional level.
So after creating and combining our individual “best of” lists, we have created a sort of patchwork of what we think are the greatest albums from 2000 to 2009. Although we individually ranked the albums and individually wrote about them, the list is a collective. It represents how three different music fanatics experienced the most important decade of their lives. So dig in. Love us, hate us and then go back to loving us because, in the end, this is just a list, you guys.

For those of you who were expecting a radio show today, we apologize – UMD sports took over during our normal showtime (Aw, don’t cry! Just today, don’t you worry! Actually…next week too…we’ll be off for Thanksgiving.) So as you get a nice little break from our voices, this gives you a great […]
Andrew Belle’s newest LP, The Ladder, will be (self) released February 23, 2010, and we’ve got a brilliant little preview track for you in “Static Waves”. Perfectly suited for any primetime soap-opera (or, in today’s age, any show really), “Static Waves” mixes in Belle’s baritone folk tone with Katie Herzig’s delicate and airy […]
A bevy of noteworthy information surfaced in the music world today regarding 2010. None long enough to really write a full post about independently, but I know I’d regret not providing the information in case you haven’t heard it. So, here goes:
– Bonnaroo is slated for June 10-13 and ticket holiday pre-sales […]
Vampire Weekend is back, everybody! They’re going to be releasing the first big album of the new decade, Contra, on January 12, but for now they’re teasing the eager fans with singles. We first heard the softer side with “Horchata,” a pretty good little song. And now we have the faster-paced “Cousins.” […]
Copenhagen natives Efterklang are preparing to release their third full-length album, Magic Chairs, and are giving us a taste of it in the form of “Modern Drift.” The song is drifting and wonderful and sweet and all that nonsense that makes a good song a good song. Magic Chairs […]
You like feuds, right? Because this new Beck song is the baby of the feud of the year and it’s pretty messy. The story goes like this:
Radiohead wrote a song back in August about Harry Patch, the UK’s oldest surviving WWI veteran (aww!). Well The Fiery Furnaces’ Matthew […]
Clean Equations could easily be Messy Equations with seven band members. But in the age of the indie-pop collective (at least for me), they pull off a solid and tempered group dynamic. Musical hysteria be damned, you’re losing in the big bands battle!
Minimalist percussion and layers upon layers of rippled keys and […]
It’s a good thing You Ain’t No Picasso has been keeping close tabs on Austin band Harlem, because I almost missed this one! The boys like doing covers and their latest attempt is “Sometimes,” originally released in 1965 by Paul Revere And The Raiders. Story goes, though, that Harlem […]
It’s pretty common knowledge that the only thing better than a new song by The Antlers is a cookies ‘n’ cream milkshake, and guess which one I’m going to write about today? (Hint: It’s not the milkshake.)
The Antlers recently went into the studio to record a brand new version of “Sylvia” from […]
