Frank Black Album- Svn Fngrs
Frank Black Song- Threshhold Apprehension
Frank Black Gig- Doornroosje, Nijmegen, 5th July 2007

Of course there was that big argument 10 years ago because
the end of the millennium was not 1999. But no one will
argue that it is the end of the 2000s, if not the end of
the decade! Or does this decade have 9 years?
I am not able to answer these at the moment.
DITS and BLD are in this decade.
You should specify non FB Song and album!
I've seen very few gigs this last decade, but that
last FB&C gig at Le Rendezvous here in Winnipeg with
Dave Lovering stands out in my mind.
It's sad that some festival I haven't gone to would
be my choice over the few I have.
Film, oh bother. Another section of pop-culture I
have avoided. Everything I can think of was in the
90's. The only one that I can even remember being
interested in is Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg, and it's
not the type of thing that would be a top pick.
Wikipedia has a year in film list, it's not very good
after 2004. I think Episode II for me.
TV shows, I only like comedies, what else can I pick.
The best non-comedy of the last decade for me was
Tall Ship Chronicles, or some science documentary!
The nominees for comedy so far are the Chris Isaak
Show, Reno 911, Puppets Who Kill.

Looks like the NME agree with me on my song of the decade, MGMT Time To Pretend. They have it at number two though, although they have put Beyonce at number 1....
http://www.nme.com/list/100-tracks-of-the-decade/158050/page/10
How they almost get it right, yet get it so catastrophically wrong?
Anyway, I love that song by MGMT, I just feel so decadent and free when I listen to it. It makes me want to run away to India and live in an ashram smoking chillums all day, something I have been pondering consistently for that past 8 years of life.

There are few songs you can really say that about...
My favourite year was 2001, kind of all went down hill from there LOL |
