BLUE AND WHITE MYSTIKAL ALBUM HOW TO

We look back on the music of two decades ago. Even old-timey music had its moment in the sun thanks to the T Bone Burnett-produced soundtrack to the Coen Brothers retelling of The Odyssey in Great Depression-era rural Mississippi, O Brother Where Art Thou?-the most unexpected album to sell 8 million copies in a long time. In the hip-hop world, on the other hand, some of the most urgent music had no trouble finding its audience, as Jay-ZвЂ™s masterpiece, The Blueprint, topped the Billboard sales chart on its way to going 2X Platinum.

Meanwhile, some exciting music was bubbling under the surface, with another rock вЂ™nвЂ roll revival beginning to take shape and the indie world on the cusp of taking over. The most original idea radio programmers had was to double down on nГј-metal. It was a weird time for rock radio, as major labels had spent the decade hell-bent on squeezing every last dollar from the grunge explosion, signing every act who sounded remotely like Nirvana or had a cousin who once played The Crocodile in Seattle.

So itвЂ™s fun to go back and look at the state of music 20 years ago, when some friends and I were plotting how to turn our indie website into full-time jobs celebrating the music we loved. The first issue didnвЂ™t come out until summer of the following year. In 2001, there was no Paste Magazine to rank the best albums of the year.
