    Ten Favorite Albums of the Decade (2010-2019)

    In November and December I got a lot of listening in and this is where I'm at as of now. Some long drives over the holidays helped. I think I'm in the minority that prefers Kanye's MBDTF-Yeezus-LoP run over his first trilogy. I thought about doing one album per artist but leaving Yeezus or MBDTF...

    The Travelling Thread

    Yes! We spent a night in Inverness because of its location and it ended up being one of the best nights out of the whole trip. Also the Glencoe area (between Glasgow and Fort William) is stunning. If you've seen Skyfall, it's where the Scottish portion was shot.

    The Travelling Thread

    I've been on separate trips to London, Scotland, and Ireland or some combo thereof. As people have mentioned, it's not difficult to travel between cities using multiple options. Really puts into context how big the US is as well as how poor our public transit is. For example, we drove from...

    The Reader’s Nook - The N&G Book Thread

    I just finished Niccolo Rising by Dorothy Dunnett, the first book in the House of Niccolo series set in mid-15th century Europe (it seems there are African and Eurasian adventures too later in the series). Has anyone else read this series? She also has another series, The Lymond Chronicles...

    Best Music of 2019

    ‘But ranking albums is even worse in some respects and I’ve always suspected that people who have a pathological need to rank things are remarkably afraid of dying. The overwhelming and slightly demented need to impose order onto a world that is essentially chaotic and constantly shifting. “I...

    Chill works sometimes. I feel like they do such a good job of adding emotional depth to songs that on the surface could be too one dimensional in terms of "chill", "giddy", etc.

    Album of The Year - Endgame

    1) Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion: Probably my favorite artist in the 2000 - present day period. If you include the solo albums, then that would clinch it. I find it difficult to pick a favorite AC album (Person Pitch is my favorite if you include the whole AC family) but MPP...

    Do EPs count? Minute for minute, Fall Be Kind is up there with Animal Collective's best IMO and would probably be #2 on my list behind MPP.
