I second Mass Romantic, if not as a top album, as an awesome one worth consideration.

Jerry said...

I gotta strike Music Has a Right...it was released in 98.

Jerry said...

Also, can we really count the Beatles? I know it was released in the Aughts, but it was recorded a long time ago...

It is a really good album though.

Polygraphovich said...

If we're not counting the Beatles, perhaps we should mention Battles. "Mirrored" is an very good record.

Arcade Fire: funeral
Badly Drawn Boy: Hour of the Bewilderbeast

Polygraphovich said...

Kudos for "Armchair Apocrypha" - in particular, "Scythian Empires" is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Poly, I'm seeing him here in Austin on the 12th! I'm super-stoked!!!!:-)

Joey said...

Also, I take it back. I don't second Mass Romantic. I second New Pornographers, but for Electric Version.

Jerry said...

I've been listening to The Walkmen's most recent album, You & Me, and it is most excellent. Has anyone else listened to it? Is it better than Bows and Arrows?

I'm new to developing websites and I was wanting to know if having your site title related to your content really that critical? I see your title, "Blogger: Chronicling Krakow " does seem to be spot on with what your blog is about but yet, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any kind of help would be greatly valued.

Heya. Sorry to trouble you but I happened to run across your web site and discovered you're using the exact same template as me. The only issue is on my blog, I'm struggling to get the layout looking like yours.

Does running a well-established blog like yours take a large
amount of work? I am brand new to blogging however I do write in my journal on
a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

obviously like your web site but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it
very troublesome to inform the reality nevertheless I'll definitely come again again.

Wow that was odd. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit
my comment didn't appear. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all
that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say wonderful blog!
, i.e. click here! []!

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added"
checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?

Cheers!

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad
and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can
be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83
views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text
for only having one or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why
waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you
could be giving us something enlightening to read?

My developer is trying to persuade me to move
to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of
the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites for about
a year and am worried about switching to another
platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.
net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi. I noticed your blog title, "Blogger: Chronicling Krakow" does not really reflect the content of your web site.
When composing your blog title, do you think it's most beneficial to write it for Search engine optimisation or for your visitors? This is something I've been struggling with because I want good search rankings but at the same time I want
the best quality for my visitors.
