"It's asking a great deal that things should appeal to your reason as well as your sense of the aesthetic." W. Somerset Maugham, 'Of Human Bondage', 1915 English dramatist & novelist (1874 - 1965)
"Who knows what form the forward momentum of life will take in the time ahead or what use it will make of our anguished searching. The most that any one of us can seem to do is fashion something--an object or ourselves--and drop it into the confusion, make an offering of it, so to speak, to the life force."
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Music: Retrospection 2

OK...I just looked on Rolling Stone's site for the top albums of 2008.  #1: TV on the Radio--this is the best of 2008?  And #2 is an album of "out takes and orphaned songs" by Bob Dylan.  Then Evil Urges is the "mightiest rock band of the year".

All I can say is, 2008 must've sucked for music.
