I've seen a floating facebook note with 15 most memorable albums, and it got me thinking. I wanted to document my current top 15 without the mess of tagging 200+ people. It'll be interesting to look back on, I'm sure.
In no particular order (I'll limit to one per band/artist/composer):
1) D'Angelo- Voodoo
2) Radiohead- Amnesiac
3) Cafe Tacvba- Reves/Yo Soy
4) Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here
5) The Mars Volta- Frances the Mute
6) Miles Davis- In a Silent Way
7) Beethoven- Ninth
8) Tupac- Me Against the World
9) Snoop Dogg- Doggy Style
10) Can- Ege Bamyasi
11) Neu!- Neu!
12) Madvillainy
13) Godspeed- Infinity
14) Brian Eno- Here Come the Warm Jets
15) Good Life- Album of the Year (Shut up!)
I'm still in Austin. I like the city a lot. Still being me with all my flaws, shortcomings, clumsiness, and insecurities! Life is good, really good; I should express my joy more often, I think, rather than keep it to myself. It's not that I suppress emotion; I think I'm just anxious, afraid of disappointing people, saying the wrong thing, making somebody feel bad, etc. I think I'm going to make my DFW trip the weekend of the tenth. I can't wait, my friends there have such a home feeling I can't describe. The weather there and my relationships, everything about the area just feels right. I spent an important part of my life there with those people and they know me and all the good and bad I bring. There's really something to be said with anyone who's known me and grown with me as a friend. It isn't easy, I'm not easy to get to know or get along with, I know. It keeps me sane knowing that there are people out there, though, who like me, who love me, and KNOW me. It's comforting. I like having that all over the state. Like I said, comforting.
