David Wingo - Ola Podrida. Depending on my mood I could say that any one of these amazing records is my favorite of the decade I don't really know how to properly talk about any of them; I'm too close to the music at this point, and I think that's the hallmark of any great music Songs Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co.

Ryan Adams and the Cardinals - Cold Roses Beck - Sea Change Collin Herring. Colin Gilmore. These are some of the albums that I think have kept music to a high standard during this decade. I hope they're just a taste of what's to come. Andy Martinez. Doug Burr. Jeff - Writer, Procrastinator, Windfarm If I was to have to pick the albums that I would say had the greatest impact on me over the past decade, this is a pretty comprehensive list.

Some of these albums I might leave off if I wanted to appear super cool or hip, but here's as honest a list as I can put together. Not much to post lately : although good things are on the way. These are probably the best recordings to date from the band, as their only record was recorded before the band was in its current formation.

Saw Invictus last night : Great story. Good movie. Lots of rugby action, if you're in to that sort of thing. Still well worthwhile to watch even if you're not. However, no big surprises either. In case you missed it : Aquarium Drunkard posted a great interview with Kris Kristofferson a few weeks back.

Big milestones only come around so often, and thus I felt the need to make note of this one. One of Lubbock's most longstanding rock bands, Thrift Store Cowboys , will celebrate their 10th year playing under that name this Saturday at Jake's Backroom.

The band will be going into the studio next spring to begin work on their fourth full-length album, but in the meantime, you can pick up a copy of the 7" vinyl split with One Wolf from earlier this year, or check out the free downloads from their in-studio at KAMP in Tucson this past September.

TSC have lined up great support for the show as well, tabbing long-time friend and Austin rocker Collin Herring to open up the show. Herring is playing in support of his recently released fourth album, Ocho. So if you happen to live in the Lubbock area, this is a show that will make you want to hire a babysitter and head out to. It's a celebration of not only the band's career, but more broadly of the Lubbock music scene and it's persistent presence over the decades.
