Is it December ALREADY?

Hellooooooo, internetland. Is anybody still reading this?

There will be 2007 music posts forthcoming, because it seems to be a tradition for me. I'm thinking a three part series this year; a favorite songs post, a 20-11 post, and a 10-1 post. Those last two may turn into a 20-6 and 5-1, depending on how much I feel like writing about things. As they are right now, all three posts are works in progress that are being slowly worked on whenever I feel like it. I'm doing some last minute cramming with a few albums that I didn't give enough time to before, particularly by Spoon, Robert Wyatt, the Valerie Project, and the Super Furry Animals (and really, how did I snooze on THAT one?).

In the meantime, because I'm in that list-making mood, here is my modest first entry in what I hope will be a recurring series on this here blog: Lists With Unreasonably Specific Criteria.

The idea is that the unreasonably specific criteria will force me to really think, and, more importantly, focus, not to mention write about things that I would otherwise not get a chance to talk about. Today's warm-up involves more coincidence and laziness than anything else:

Best Albums With Artwork Featuring Airplane Imagery That Were Released on September 11, 2001:

1. Beulah - The Coast Is Never Clear
2. Explosions In the Sky - Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die; Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever

There you go. Ponder THAT shit.
