Mejores 2000-2004

- "Hope There Is Someone" de Antony & The Johnsons
- "A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left" de Andrew Bird
- "The Fox" de Sleater-Kinney
- "Coles Corner" de Richard Hawley

Aunque también pujan estos otros:

- "Galang" de M.I.A.
- "These Are the Fables" de The New Pornographers
- "Zoom" de Super Furry Animals
- "Chorale Lick" de Serena Maneesh

Para vacunarme contra ellas necesito escuchar nuevas canciones... ¿alguien puede sugerirme algo?

Lo que me transporta a un debate que tuve no ha mucho con un colega veterano, que me preguntó directamente si había que prescindir de los discos pasados de moda, o si valía la pena que el debate pivotase sobre los conceptos de "buena música" o "mala música".

Aunque me repateen estos términos casi morales, la discusión se había de centrar en este segundo punto. Me vinieron a la memoria varios ejemplos: Flamin' Groovies, Big Star y el "Smile" de Brian Wilson. Germinaron cuando había otras plantas en el campo, pero ahí están, regalándonos sus frutos. No sé si Serena Maneesh tiene aún entidad comparable a la de los 3 ejemplos citados, pero es que suenan bien, carajo.
