You gotta look at it this way okay.
You just gotta look at it.
That's all you can do anymore.
The Decade of My Youth
Its almost over, the decade of my youth, and I’m sad as fuck. But it does present an opportunity to reflect on a decade filled with some absolutely brilliant, stunning, moving music. Music is how many of us bookmark our lives after all, a sad substitute for our minds’ inability to track the meaningful moments in our existence with any accuracy or dependability.
To that end, I figured I should list my top 10 songs and albums of the decade on the interweb, so there would be one more bookmark to come back to after years of success, tumult, happiness and shitiness.
It feels a little bit like after the decade of your youth comes to a close, it might all just be a linear progression of downardness from there. A new start in 2010? Fuck that, I want 2000 back.
