aaaaand the final bit: 1. Jacaszek - Treny I practically got hit by a train on this no-name guy that i wandered into on a whim. Second album by the Polish composer titled after the nationally famous series of poems mourning the loss of a young daughter (look it up on Wikipedia, it's actually pretty interesting), Boomkat went completely nuts off the hype train (like they would) for this one,...

2008 Albums List: 6-10
i'd post the whole ten but it was giving me internal errors until i cut it in half 6. Mogwai - The Hawk Is Howling I'm one of those 'huge mr beast fan' kind of mogwai fans. For me everything 'happy songs' onward have just been a progressively more satisfying career of refinement, subtlety, and expert handling of style and sensibility where the sublime is not in the noise but in the how, why, a

moment of review
i still get emails when one of my friended mogs updates, and the shame of my complete failure to update myself usually keeps me from following a link unless something sounds extremely intriguing.but oatmeal asked for dj mixes, and i went in all thinking "HAY HAVE YOU HEARD UPROOT"of course he has. of course he has. there always has to be a dj mix per year that pops my bubble of insane contempt at

i havent even gotten *that* good at it but making mixes with the kind of "High Fidelity"-esque flow that's almost subconsciously effective has gotten so boring to me in the last year. a great mix is a great mix, but stepping back and looking at the process of it, there's not much joy in it after the creation of it. runs like clockwork, nothing to jar you out of the groove or rudely interrupt the v

Well, here it is. a sudden rush of OMG to the head. i figured you could pick and choose to read about the ones that interest you if you find this the embodiment of tl;dr, but this is where this list nonsense ends for now.TOP 20071.
