so i’ve just finished the third revision of my top 100 albums list — which to avoid confusion/arguments is a personal selection, not an attempt at a best of all time list — and to build some interest/excitement in the list beyond myself and the 1-2 other people that have traditionally cared about this i’ve [...]

i’ve slowly begun working on the third revision of my personal top 100 albums list. as planned, this year i am making the transition to a one album per artist limit… which has automatically disqualified twenty excellent albums from last year’s list (see below). this has been a hard step for me to take, but [...]

so i’ve done two volumes of this “songs featuring felines” thing, but i’ve never actually had a feline of any sort. well… tomorrow that will change. we’re getting a kitten! i wasn’t too keen on the idea at first, but i guess i’m starting to come around. i don’t know what we’re gonna call it [...]

i recently picked up the book on bowie’s low in the 33 1/3 series and, just 4 pages in, it has already hit me with a revelation. the first chapter begins with two quotes, the first of which makes a lot of sense to me….

mp3: the beatles – the end (take 7)……………..of…………………mp3: aesop rock – daylight (instrumental)…………savings……………..mp3: david bowie – time
i’m close… there are so many “time” songs… but i can’t think of a single one called “savings”… can you?

mp3: nine inch nails – scary monsters (w/ david bowie)
