"NME: THE TOP 100 GREATEST ALBUMS OF THE DECADE"
The Top 100 albums released between January 2000 and December 2009, as voted for by NME staff (past and present) plus a selection of musicians and industry figures that included Arctic Monkeys, Carl Barat, The Killers, Jarvis Cocker, Pete Doherty, Elbow, Johnny Marr, MGMT, Ian Brown, The Big Pink, Snoop Dogg, Alan McGee, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Michael Eavis and many, many more (see the full jury in NME magazine).
This list is taken from the ‘End Of The Decade’ issue of NME magazine (on sale November 18th) where each album included is reviewed again from a 2009 perspective, alongside brand new interviews and a look back at the defining musical moments of the past 10 years.
Well what do you know, look what album ranked #2:
THE LIBERTINES - UP THE BACKET
Read the original NME review from 2002:
"It hasn't passed without comment that the front-running bands at the moment hail from almost everywhere except Britain. No new homegrown band can yet hold a candle to The Strokes or The Vines - and when Sweden and bloody New Zealand begin out-rocking the UK, you know that things are getting bad. Forget UK garage; we want, well, UK garage - bands with a tiger in their tank and a ready quip on their lips, who can out-dress, out-class and out-drink Johnny Foreigner and won't rest until they've buccaneered from Land's End to John O'Groats. The Libertines: your country needs you!
And after ten months morphing from The London Strokes to their current, eccentric incarnation, The Libertines have released their debut album. Mysteriously omitting 'What A Waster', it's the sound of hot iron being struck, hay made while the sun shines and opportunity knocking, being grabbed by the scruff of the neck and shagged there and then on the doormat. It's ragged, inconsistent, and, in places, barely finished (it was produced, apparently live, by The Clash's Mick Jones). The awful acoustic ballad, 'Radio America', falls apart before your very ears.
But when it comes to vim (as in vigour and also the cleaning product they probably snort when all else fails), The Libertines have what it takes. Boundlessly curious and energetic, the best parts of 'Up The Bracket' come across like William Blake meets The Jam round the back of King's Cross station. 'Horrorshow', basically a speeded up version of Elvis Presley's 'His Latest Flame', makes chronic heroin addiction sound distinctly jolly. 'The Boys In The Band' doesn't just pile on the sleaze, it crucially also turns on the charm. 'I Get Along' features the best swearing (a throwaway 'Fuck 'em') in pop this year. And 'The Good Old Days' is a nicely-timed reminder to jaded fools everywhere that 'If you've lost your faith in love and music the end won't be long'. See, The Libertines even do wise.
This isn't the record to smite The Vines and The Strokes with the sword of Albion - it's too disorganised and chaotic for that. But if The Libertines can keep writing songs as insolently catchy as the title track and the Smiths-style 'Time For Heroes', their finest hour will be upon us soon. Still, this is more than adequate for now.
God save the 'Tines!"

"IT AIN't FAIR 2009"
Art Basel 2009
December 2 - 6, 2009
O.H.W.O.W Gallery
3100 NW 7 Avenue / Miami / Florida / 33127
The second installment of It Ain’t Fair promises to be even more spectacular than our inaugural exhibition. Calling on our community for participation, we assembled an international group show comprised of over 40 artists that we feel are creating the most relevant work today.
Opening night will be highlighted by the screening of Cyprien Gaillard’s Cities of Gold and Mirrors accompanied by a performance by French symphonic composer Koudlam.
A full exhibition list as well as many more details will be revealed in the coming days.

"The Goat: Interview"
The Goat
(How did you get the name The Goat?)
Shane Heyl: When I used to live in Arizona at the 1833 crib with the Jigga Man, Two-Tight, and Randal Wilson, I would wake up the next day from a good time and my socks would be super-glued to the bottom of my feet. I guess it was from skating and drinking so much—all the toxins would seep out of the soles of my feet, and when it dried out, I would have to rip
the skin to get them off. I was able to twirl
the socks around the bottom of my feet
without them falling off. It was pretty nasty. From that, the homies came up with the
name Goat Foot. (Clarify who’s in the band now.)
Shane: Me, Andrew, Beagle Oneism, Kevin “Spanky” Long, Atiba Jefferson—anybody who adds to that crew right there is An Occasional Other.
(Who are some of the Occasional Others?)
Shane: Anybody who wants to get sick with it. Back-up vocals, banjos, harmonicas, slide guitars—whatever—bring it. I don’t know, Turbotitto, Timmy the Terror.
Andrew Reynolds: Yeah, Timmy’s been on a track. In the beginning we were recording with just anybody that could play an instrument. It was like, “So-and-so plays keyboards, let’s get them in on a track.” Then we kind of got a set crew and we kept the name. We should try and get Phelps on a track.
(How many espresso shots do you need before you get on stage?)
Shane: Aw man, well, yeah, me and Andrew have to get that Starbucks fix on before we get on stage. We have to get that ’Buckjuice. We had a good one right before the Braydon show. We had to catch a cab to go get that ’Bucks. The cab was a total of $35 there and back just so Andrew and I could get our juice while everyone else stayed at the bar to do their thing. I think it was about three or four shots.
(How serious are you guys taking this?)
Shane: As long as the passion’s in the air, we’re going to ride this thing ’til the wheels fall off. It’s just too fun. Werewolf Heart records. It’s that get up to get down Goatime movement.

"The Dick List: Creatures/Downpresser Split"
This Creatures and Downpresser split is in my mind amazing. Both of these Southern Califonia bands are very promising. This album brings a great mix of darkness/ thrash/ and hardcore. Make sure you follow up on both of these bands and there albums.
