favorite albums released in 2011
seems everyone is doing a best of 2011, so I thought I’d share my two cents on the albums I particularly liked that saw release this year. I was going to do a 11 from 11, but couldn’t whittle it down, so I was going to do a 22 from 11, but it turned into a 30 from 11. Alphabetically sorted and such.

2. a winged victory for the sullen -...

Clash Battle Guilt Pride
The new Polar Bear Club is the rock album for our time. It feels as if it was written for me, it sounds that personal, but really, it was written for all of us. Get your hands on it and make the world a better place.

This Morning by Raymond Carver →
disicio:
This morning was something. A little snow lay on the ground. The sun floated in a clear blue sky. The sea was blue, and blue-green, as far as the eye could see. Scarcely a ripple. Calm. I dressed and went for a walk — determined not to return until I took in what Nature had to offer. I passed…

Blue Collar
drunkordying:
Calloused hands
and sweat stung brows,
set from tempered cycles
held down
by languished time.
For family and pay,
the value of one man,
weighs heavy
on the hearts of babes.
Continuous time spent
busting knuckles in
sun blisterd days,
falling on ones knees
from a tidal strong path.
Hardship and worries,
Fade from mind
and plastered over
by self-drive and...

world-shaker:
Are you sick of high paid teachers? Teachers’ hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or 10 months a year! It’s time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do - baby sit! We can get that for less than minimum wage.
That’s right. Let’s give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked; not any of that silly planning time, or any time they...
