0 [LIST MANIA] Best of Decade from Ben of Lesbian and The Abodox

List by Benjamin Thomas-Kennedy

I thought it would be sweet to have a few local musicians chime in with some lists to close out the year. I was totally pumped that Ben from Lesbian and The Abodox signed up and man did he put together a great list of the music that has resonated in his life over the past decade. Some very interesting stuff, and the reason why I love different perspectives. Go see Lesbian and The Abodox already, they are easily two of Seattle's best metal bands. Ben will be the guy beating the drums like a Neanderthal. Thanks Ben!!

Artists/Records that meant the most to me this decade...

Gris Gris:
A beautiful psychedelic time warp.


Coil:
Perfect for nearly 20 years. never a lull.

Brad Dunn:
Brad hasn't released anything; but he has given me some incredible shit that he made at home. go here and make him give you some: www.myspace.com/modocos

The New Year:
If I had a list like this for the 90's, bedhead would be at the top. the new kadane project deserves equal props.

Heatwarmer - Heatwarmer:
Right now this is my favorite album on earth. Hear it here for FREE:

Secret Cheifs 3:
All styles executed with skill and style.

M. Ward:
He has the same name as a guy who used to beat me up in junior high.

Christian Fennesz:
This guy can make anything on his lap sound great.

Pan American:
The perfect amount of dirty sleaze.

Pajo / Papa M:
David Pajo changes his name a lot. he is worth the hunt at the record store.

LESBIAN:
I am in this band. It's my medicine.

Susumu Yokota:
Yokota likes to dance more than i do. when he calms down its gorgeous.

Om:
Less is massive.

Wooden Shjips:
One time i confused these guys with Spacemen 3; and Spacemen 3 is, like, my favorite band.


Warning:
My friend dan gave me a warning record because it was too dark for him...and he is a dark-ass dude.

The Black Angels:
it sounds like other shit that you love and it sounds really good.

The Abodox:
I am in this band too. no one likes it; but its my favorite:

Nathan Smurthwaite is a genius songwriter and an even better guitar player:
