THIS IS FILLER
Anyways, on the subject of music.
Some of my favorite music to study to are concept albums. Long-ass, fucking metaphor laden albums that tell a story. My study CD last year was Tommy, by The Who. I'd always know how long I've been studying for based on whatever Roger Daltrey is scatting about for the time being. Tommy is a good album, much better then Quadrophenia, and I can't study to it because I always end up comparing it to its rock opera predecessor, and that keeps me from studying. (Not like I'm complaining, procrastination is what I do best.) Tommy came out in fucking 1969 too, only being beaten by The Pretty Thing's SF Sorrow as the first rock opera . Anyways, it rules, and if you haven't listened to it once with YOUR HEADPHONES ON, then really, go watch Almost Famous and listen vicariously through the protagonist or whatever.
I haven't really settled on a good album to listen to this year. My iPod (The rammifications of me talking about owning an iPod are staggering, but I'll save that for another day. Or if anyone from Illinois reads this, they could ask me to re-post a few things.) is completely broken and I have to send some stuff back to my mom, but of course I'd rather play DOTA, ANYWAYS, I DIGRESS. The point is, when I study say, at the library, I have to listen to the SOUNDTRACK OF LIFE, which after repeated listens I've decided is overrated. God, what an awful joke.
Some of the current albums in contention are Mezzanine by Massive Attack, My rap-music playlist, Heschl's Gyrus jams, Permenant Waves by Rush, Emerson Lake and Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery, and finally You Forgot it in People by Broken Social Scene. I all love those albums a lot, but I don't think the fact that none of them have occupied a permenant spot on my studying playlist means that they are worse then Tommy, although relatively they probably are. I don't really listen to new albums I've just got when I study, because they are usually distracting and I spend half the time listening to the music instead of studying. That's why I also don't keep my iTunes (You can see the Apple logo on my ass) on shuffle.
