There definitely are some good tunes missing from Spotify, notably Lulu James's "Closer."

Boy does xgau love Gogol Bordello

And Kimya Dawson. The Uncluded is her with a rapper I had never heard before named Aesop Rock. As a Dean acolyte I bought it. Love the stuff with Kimya but that guy's voice is not my cup of musical tea.

i would like to see a slatepitch about the lack of audience overlap between kimya dawson and aesop rock, because i can believe that i would be going to never believe how much there was

man kimya dawson plus aesop rock is some heavy 2001 shit

Pretty good list of best polish records. Stara Rzeka is present obviosuly, along with his two other projects: T'ien Lai (http://tienlai.bandcamp.com/) and Alameda 3 (http://alamedacountydeathcult.bandcamp.com/).

Blurbs are in polish but you can find most of these on bandcamp/soundcloud/spotify easily. Some of them:
https://soundcloud.com/kirkkirk/sets/z-a-krew - kIRk 'Zla krew' (winner)
http://open.spotify.com/album/3ozjrP9lQG5MUBYn9QphFQ - Super Girl & Romantic Boys (number 2, super kitschy 80s electro)
http://open.spotify.com/album/4N3qM5HIHD8aqL3r44qd4R - Kixnare (number 3, electronic/instrumental hip-hop, "Gucci Dough" is the obvious hit song but all of it is worth a listen)
http://kaseciarz.bandcamp.com/ - Kaseciarz, "low budget rock and roll"
https://lxmp.bandcamp.com/ - LXMP, take on "Future Shock" by two of the best polish musicians, commisioned for the Unsound Festival.
http://open.spotify.com/album/4w6BLeGIfTvuc2XepFXUaI - RSS B0ys (great, dark techno)

Awesome. Thanks for posting that!
