While I haven’t gotten through the entire album yet, the new Silversun Pickups album is excellent so far. A lot more focused than their debut, less ethereal and less swirly/shoegaze guitar. That may be terrible for some of their fans, but I think it works for them. (NOTE: because I haven’t listened to it enough, I reserve the right to completely reverse or change my opinion without good explanation.)
UPDATE!: Buy the new album yourself from Amazon for $4 (!) here today (4/14) only.
Here is the next installment of my 1000 Minutes project.
17. The Stills – Changes Are No Good (mp3) (3:42) from Logic Will Break Your Heart [Time Remaining: 9:35:12]
Dave will probably disagree with my choice off of this album. In truth, it was between this and “Animals + Insects” for me, but I listened to this song so frequently when I got the album that I had to give it the nod.
Maybe The Stills will never get back to the beauty they created on this album, but I sure hope so. I really really enjoyed that album, and their subsequent efforts have only elicited a “meh” or two from me.
18. Badly Drawn Boy – Once Around the Block (mp3) (3:54) from The Hour of Bewilderbeast [Time Remaining: 931:18]

I don’t disagree with your Stills choice. That will probably make it onto my list at some point, maybe not first, but somewhere down the line. I also don’t disagree with you BDB choice.
That Stills album was the best purchase I made in 50 years. It’s my go to road trip music.
