A Number Of Connected Albums Penned Down Consecutively, Consequentially.

Life/ Blog/ Myself/ You/ 2008, 

I'v been meaning to do this since an era. So I sat down, arranged and re-arranged and got myself a fine December 18th gift, to celebrate many winters of randomness. Even though this one won't require a sweater, it continues to give me chills of a different kind. I feel smug, yet uncontent in the knowledge that it might not be positive all night along. After 2008's random run, 2009 shall not be a good year. Its one of those years you so know about. And when I say 2008 was not bad at all, you very well may take a clue as to how pathetic and downtrodden it might get, this January onwards.

"Because when within virtue, 

we lose every part of the clue,

a puzzle becomes static, 

and pieces stick like glue."

Here I go then. My 100 favorite albums and I don't give a fuck if you think I went wrong here or I spelt something incorrect or because you don't like something or love something that is not here. Well, fuck you because you have a bad music taste or opinion, whichever yields results. I would have included my favorite unplugged/acoustic, live, best of, collections too but these are all studio albums and I have heard all of these 20 times AT LEAST. I shall keep editing the same and the same shall appear in Red, sanguine, crimson RED. The Blue shall lose. And how am I so sure? I am not but I love to laugh, cry, win, live etcetra and this year around, I got much of nothing.

The/ MY 100 Greatest Albums Of All Time - 

1. Radiohead - The Bends

The dust settles, I close my eyes as Planet Telex starts off with rapturous monotone, seemingly the throat dries despite no intention to sing. Then the breathing slows and title song kicks in, equal melancholy and it only further pervades as fresh strains and simple beats pull the room in chorus with "two jumps in a week, don't you think thats pretty clever, don't you boy". Questioning my own wish for recognition or a life, Fake Plastic Trees summarizes what would have otherwise been a lost cause. Bones and (Nice Dream) are an easy prelude to what becomes toast with Just. While someone might dismiss the album at this point saying the best has been heard, the early tapes switched off and conked themselves around in format for only Side B to hypnotize. My Iron Lung and Bullet Proof (especially the Live CNN version) are more than good songs. They clean the purest part of you and remind you of the candle that will soon flicker out. Only so that Black Star can rip another heart, and Sulk can make perversion child's play. Street Spirit fades out, me slipping into sadness and Yorke saddling away, harping relentlessly, maybe pointlessly with or without Greenwood's silent drama. The Bends. That is it.
