Albums of the Decade - 79. Moon Duo - Mazes

79. MOON DUO - MAZES

Tonight is Moon Duo night, continuing the cosmos theme after my last Bowie post. Moon Duo are one of the most underrated bands of the last decade - producing psychedelic space-rock in the same vein as Spacemen 3 or My Bloody Valentine. Prolificacy is the key, as they have put out seven albums in eight years.

I have picked their debut album from 2011 as their go-to though, as it sets the tone for their irresistable pulse. Scuzzy as a fuzz. Less fussy than your cuz. Dress-uppy and plus plus plus. Scrappy and the band. Bandwidth and truck temptation. Drive and speed-up a degree. Go up the gears and feel like you just turned twenty-three. <3 p="">

Albums of the Decade - 80. David Bowie - Black Star

80. DAVID BOWIE - BLACK STAR

The cultural significance of this one propaply deserves to place this one higher up the listathon. I was sitting in Lee's Sandwiches in Taipei talking about his new LP on the day it came out and the fact that he was in bad condition, and then hey two days later he gone :(

It has to be one of the biggest exits in art history, never mind things like Nevermind, the sheer proximity of hello new record and goodbye world made me twitch and talk. I'll leave this one at that. No more to say. He's a black star.
