Pitchfork Predictions
So that music site that no one talks about is doing a list for the aughts (2000-2009) of the top 200 albums.
Tomorrow they list the top 20. I thought we’d have a little predicting fun tonight. Actually, I could probably name everything Pitchfork will select. These are more selections that I would like to see.
New Year's Eve 2008
What’s everyone doing? I have no plans. As always, I don’t know what I’m looking for, but I’ll know when I hear it.
Lapsang Souchong: Bacon Tea
Well, more like campfire tea. But it definitely could be described as “bacony” as Beth the Vegan did earlier today. But she’s vegan, so what does she know from bacon? A friend at work hereafter known as Cool Tim (to differentiate from the other Tim) recommended I try this tea and found a pound bag of it on amazon for $15. It was a steal (the 6 pack of 3.5oz Twinings tin was $25). I highly recommend it cause not only does it taste and smell amazingly smokey (and my entire cube reeks of bacon/campfire. Seriously. You can smell it two cubes over.), but it’s gotten me far more wired than a cup of coffee, to the point where my face feels a bit funny from being so tense.
I give this product four out of five stars. It loses a star because it’s so pungent, I really can’t see myself drinking this several times a day like I do green tea. It’s really kind of overwhelming.
Once I’m done with this tea, it’s on to monkey tea which Justin just showed me. Because I trust monkeys. And Justin. But mostly monkeys.
