A few further thoughts on favourite things

Following on from this post: http://horatio-outside.blogspot.com/2009/03/these-are-few-of-my-favourite-things.html I added that funny little application on facebook that lets you pick your top five albums, films, TV programmes, sandwiches, men called "Brian", segs, umbrellas etc.

This app was clearly aimed at people who like to obsessively demonstrate their good taste and make endless lists and categorisations. People like me, in other words, since I knocked off three in quick succession. And then I made some lists. Arf. Here they are.

Possibly My 5 Favourite Albums Ever

At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Steve Reich - Music For 18 Musicians
The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour
Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food

Five excellent, noisy albums

Shellac - 1000 Hurts
Oneida - Each One, Teach One
OOIOO - Feather Float
Parts & Labor - Mapmaker
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow

[Wives' "Erect The Youth Problem" was a possible no. 6]

Five great metal albums

Melvins - Houdini
Mastodon - Leviathan
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Boris - Pink

[Big Business' "Head For The Shallow" was another contender. And I forgot about Kyuss. Damn!]

I thought this might've been interesting cos it wasn't just a long list of albums, but was broken up into smaller, more esoteric categories (and I can get a lot smaller and more esoteric). I may be wrong, though. Who knows.

Also have some more reviews (I have been a busty boy):

Charles Spearin - The Happiness Project http://www.musosguide.com/?p=3220 (spot my moustache envy)
The Gay Blades - O Shot http://www.musosguide.com/?p=3308
