Fucking pretentious dickwipes feed their cat with copsticks.

you can't expect them to use a spoon like some goddamned barbarian.

Let the fucking awful thing eat for itself. Cats is pricks. Especially chopstick cats.

Did anybody mention this yet? Because this is one of my favorite albums from 1994:

I like 1997.


74 was good too. And 89.

2008 was amazing.

How did this not make the, ahem, cut?



Go 1994!

1914 was really something. Jerome Kern and Ravel were on fire.

'93 had Siamese Dream, En Utero and Vs. pretty good one.

I still think 1969 is the gold standard.

But I'm probably biased because I was coming of age.

+1 on loving 1994.
Vitalogy, Superunknown, Purple, Unplugged in NY, Downward Spiral... they were the soundtrack to my last year of high school.

These were some additional favourites of mine that year (apologies for the heavy Canadian contingency):

Nah, I was just taking the mickey out of the 'you only like the music released that year because you were coming of age' theory I'm in my thirties.

I can certainly see how that notion might ring true for some but it never has for me either; most (though not all) of the music that's made an indelible impression on me was released well before I stumbled upon it - I've never felt any contemporaneous connection to the music of a particular time.

I wonder if that's partly a result of geographic isolation. Even if I found a great new band, chances were slim to none that I'd ever get to see them play; bands don't tour Australia all that often and, even when they do, it's relatively rare that they play in Adelaide. I've never felt like I was listening to "old" music when I was delving into something released in 1965 or 1982 or whenever else.

Way to twist my words around.
