Top Twelve Records of the Decade, WOW Style

I can't believe another decade has flown past us. It was ten years ago that I first stepped into a radio station booth and that I met my lovely co-bloggers Emily and Jen, and in those ten years some damn fine records have come out. The 1990s were a great decade for music - it brought us Riot Grrrl and my all time favorite record, Tori Amos' Boys for Pele. But the 2000's had some great lady jams in it, too. Here's my top twelve list of records from the last decade, in no particular order.

1. P.J. Harvey, Uh Huh Her
2. Bjork, Vespertine
3. The Dresden Dolls, The Dresden Dolls
4. Metric, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
5. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Dap Dippin' With Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
6. Rilo Kiley, More Adventurous
7. Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Fever to Tell
8. The Gossip, Movement
9. Le Tigre, Feminist Sweepstakes
10.Sleater Kinney, One Beat
11. Broken Social Scene, You Forgot It In People
12. The New Pornographers, Twin Cinema

Video Fridays: Fairytale of New York - Kirsty MacColl & The Pougues

One of our favorite and most amusing Christmas-themed songs, featuring the late great Kirsty MacColl. Sadly, Kirsty's mother's campaign for justice in the mysterious circumstances surrounding her 2000 death while scuba diving in Mexico disbanded earlier this month, due to Mexican authorities closing the case. Although we may never have satisfactory justice regarding her death, we can always honor Kirsty's legacy of great music.
