The kicker to the U2 singles is I'm 99% certain that you own all of them at this point in your life so I was just ahead of the game. Buying singles of music that I certainly don't want to listen to an entire album still makes sense. I love that on the intrawebz I can change my name a million times in one comment thread.

Radiohead sucks. I can't believe all the time I've wasted on them. What's the name of the new Britney Spears track? I wanna go steal it from the intraweb. Art is dead. On a serious tip, Joe thinks music should be disposable like the newspaper. Anyone who thinks that shouldn't be commenting on music. Joe bought more singles than anyone I know back in the day. That kind of makes sense now that I think about it. And we're not talking about buying U2 singles for the B-Side but Right Said Fred type singles. Baha Men Rules!!!! You’re right. Radiohead sucks.

When I was vacationing in Trinidad for the Carnival season of 1998 I first heard Anslem Douglas' original version of this song. To my delight in 2000 while watching Rug Rats in Paris : The movie not to be confused with Rug Rats in Paris : The TV show. I heard this interesting tune that very clearly reminded me of those Trinadian nights spent having a good time and listening to great music. So all can decide to judge me for my poor taste in music. But please appreciate the experiences that add up to what can be considered a beautiful search for a enjoyable time in someone's life. At least just appreciate the fact that "Who let the dogs out" is a question we can all understand and does have some curious answers.

It makes it so much easier to just pick and choose a song or two here, a song or two there, which eliminates the experience of an album as a whole. It's not likely that someone would choose to put "Sun King" in a mix, but in the context of Abbey Road it fits beautifully. However the flip side of this is it makes it much easier to appreciate music from artists that only have a few good songs. For example, Joe can listen to "Who Let the Dogs Out" without having to wade through the rest of the classic tracks on the album... Radiohead still sucks though. I Radiohead-

What I meant to say is that depending on my mood or frame of mind, any one or more of these records could be on such a list. Just to give you a sense of where my tastes are right now here are my five DID's: OK Computer Abbey Road Siamese Dream The Chronic Achtung Baby I like too much to limit it to five. What's the Story Morning Glory could easily replace any of those on a given day. Coming up with that list, it occurs to me that there may be some concert recordings I like better than any of these but in the interest of simplicity I stuck to released LPs. What's interesting to me is that, in the age of iPod, I rarely listen to records the way the artists intended anymore. Probably only when I get something brand new. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Radiohead have clearly come out against this (witness their refusal to be on iTunes) but as a consumer I like having that choice. I just feel like I'm diluting the artistic value of an album in some way. Abbey Road is a perfect example. The album as a whole is definitely more than the sum of its parts.
