Definitely a Liar...

...but unsure as to how thieving fits into the picture.

Nine days and I will be thirty-two years old.
That'll make eight years past doomsday, so I'm doing awfully well.

So it's not loaded stadiums or ball parks,
and we're not kids on swing-sets on the blacktop
and I thought at fifteen that I'd have it down by sixteen
and twenty four keeps breathing in my face like a mad whore.
and twenty four keeps pounding at my door.

Like a friend, you don't want to see
Oldness comes with a smile...
Oldness comes to youth who dream suicide.

This used to resonate so deep within me.
I think we've all have had deadlines for living.
I'm finally realizing that it's never about next, but now.

Top Ten of 2005

So it took me a little longer that expected to suss out my top ten.
There are plenty to fill in the eleven through twenty-five spots, but I really wanted to grab the ten I think are "best."
It took me a lot less time to figure out which albums I was disappointed by this year, but I'll save those for another update.

Boom Bip - Blue Eyed in a Red Room (Lex)
LCD Soundsystem - Self-Titled (DFA)
Deerhoof - The Runner's Four (5RC/Kill Rock Stars)
The Evens -- Self-Titled (Dischord)
Bloc Party -- Silent Alarm (Vice)
The Decemberists - Picaresque (Kill Rock Stars)
Akron / Family -- Self-Titled (Young God)
(Smog) -- A River Ain't Too Much To Love (Drag City)
The Books -- Lost and Safe (Tomlab)
The Fall -- Fall Heads Roll (Narnack)

These are not in one through ten order.
LCD and Bloc Party probably spent the most time on the iPlayer.
