To List: A Post

I did a top twenty-one list of books a while back. Adam Robinson had some disparaging comments, which have been lost in the transition from BlogSpeak to HaloScan. I'll admit it: I am a poseur. I was trying to impress people when I wrote that list. I was trying to look educated and balanced, despite the fact that women were not represented at all and minorities represented only by a hair. So this time, when I list things, I'm just going to be me. I'm going to try to do it off the top of my head this time. So here are a few lists of favorites.

Albums

• This is Hardcore by Pulp (recently returned to me, after a year, by the lovely Katie Morris)
  
• Daisies of the Galaxy by eels (thanks to Mike Hancock for introducing me to this one)
  
• Kid A by Radiohead (with apologies to Adam Robinson)
  
• Vespertine by Bjork

Inevitable Presidential Candidates

Books Recently Read
