I believe so, but I haven't gotten in Xiu Xiu yet. Probably should, I hear good things.

antony and the johnsons is completely terrible in my opinion.

overrated tripe. no talent clown.

Neutral Milk Hotel and the Arcade Fire are conspicuously absent.


how about doing this list again with some bands that people have actually heard of?

Neither released an album this year, although NMH's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea was re-released I think.

Instead of getting into an indie vs. mainstream girlfight, why don't you (or someone else, whoever) submit a more mainstream A-Z list?

I've seen your hate for indie stuff so I know you're just f***in' around, but Neutral Milk Hotel hasn't released a new album in years.

it's not hate, homeboy. I'm just jopking.


and why hasn't NMH released an album recently? is that the hip indie thing for bands to do? just rest on their laurels and wallow in obscurity?

Of course. If you release another album after the perfection that is ItAOtS, then the hip indie critics will have to do their hip indie backlash thing saying that your follow-up isn't as good as the last album. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

So, better to leave 'em wanting.
