think it's shocking -- three power-pop albums made the top 10: the shins, the

interstate managers," but i wouldn't have guessed that in a million years. >>

Interestingly, in the PopMatters.com year-end poll, which came out two months 
ago, they had the same top 3--Outkast, White Stripes, FOW; and the Shins were 
at 4 and Dizzee Rascal at 5, both of which also appear in the Pazz and Jop 
poll. So people outside of our little camp definitely love "Welcome Interstate 
Managers"! -Jason
