Kathy Fennessy's Chugchanga-L Poll 2000 Entry

This is a pretty "safe" list (i.e. nothing particularly edgy), but it's also
a pretty accurate snapshot of the 2000 releases/re-releases I enjoyed the
most, so here goes:

1. Badly Drawn Boy - The Hour of Bewilderbeast (Beggar's Banquet)
2. Air - Virgin Suicides S/T (Astralwerks)
3. Air - Premiers Symptomes (Astralwerks) (1999)
4. The New Pornographers - Mass Romantic (Mint)
5. King Biscuit Time - No Style EP (Astralwerks)
6. Johnny Cash - American III: Solitary Man (Columbia)
7. Various Artists - Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack (Mercury)
8. Radiohead - Kid A (Capitol)
9. Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself... (Matador)
10. Cat Stevens - Teaser & The Firecat Reissue (A&M)

I was particularly disappointed by the new releases from Belle & Sebastian &
PJ Harvey. Sleater-Kinney just missed my list, but I swear they're starting
to grown on me...

The releases I listened to the most aren't listed above as they were two of
my favorites for 1999, & I haven't grown tired of them yet: The Beta Band's
Three E.P.'s and Belle & Sebastian's Tigermilk. Great music for lazy Sunday
afternoons. Nothing released in 2000 hooked me quite the same way, but the
CDs on my list each contain at least one track I enjoy that much (and in the
same way).
