Wichita Bands in NME’s Top 100 Album’s of the Decade
We are proud that a number of our artists past and present made it into NME’s round up of the best albums of the decade, including:
# 93
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
“They create a sound in thrall to beauty and romance and youth, like Catcher In The Rye: The Musical, or an everlasting evening smoking spicy cigarettes with friends in the park as the sunset seeps into the ether. As the songs weave into the fabric of each other, it daubs a visual listen that’s both pretty and pouty. CYHSY’s is a veritable swoon of a record.” - original NME review
# 91
Les Savy Fav - Let’s Stay Friends
“For a dozen years Harrington and his team-mates have toiled with the kind of incombustible DIY outlook that shelters in the rusting arches of a Transit van or cat-naps under the merch-stand. Through six years of articulate planning ‘Let’s Stay Friends’ – their forth outing – still arrives as a startling cannon-shot message of brain-thawing intent…LSF know they’re a revelation, a revolution even.” - original NME review
# 38
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
“Bloc Party are to be believed in because they are a band for the whites, the blacks, the straights, the hip-hop kids, the freaks, the geeks, the emo kids, the punk-funkers, the queers and, yes, the fashionistas. Not because they are all these things (though they are a lot of them), nor because they’re all things to all men (in fact they’re the complete opposite). Back in 2002, Pete’n’Carl said it was‘Time For Heroes’. Well now it’s the anti-heroes’ time.” - original NME review

I worked for an Alarm comp for a long time. The silent alarm works like this.. once the button is pressed an emergency/distress signal is received at your Central Station Monitoring Company-they in turn contact the PD immediately and the PD is dispatched.patekphilippe
