It has been a very tense day-and-a-half. These are the records that I was playing while I worked and worked and worked. I am glad they existed.
The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground (I really like the quiet, mellow emotion. "Candy Says," "Pale Blue Eyes" and "Jesus" = goodgoodgood! But what's the deal with the "Murder Mystery" wankfest, etc?)
The Velvet Underground - VU (Not as good. But ok. The mood felt right at 3am.)
U2 - Joshua Tree (Who knew that U2 had released a good album, albeit fifteen years ago?)
Dismemberment Plan - Emergency and I (Only "Back and Forth" was really working when I listened, but.)
Yo La Tengo - Summer Sun. (I like this record less with every listen. Most recently, its musical content sounded like it had been reduced to nothing more than sheer [bland] atmosphere.)
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (First time listening to it in a long time. I got bored quickly. But "Money" still sounded fine.)
Well.. That's strange. It seems that when I write them out, the records I listened to sort of sucked. hm. I guess my playlist was redeemed by the scattered presence of 50 Cent's "In Da Club," The Clique's version of "Superman," Iron and Wine's "Such Great Heights," the two new Blur songs I like and, um, no, that seems to have been it.
Did I mention that it was a long, torturous night?
