Top Five Favorite Albums Ever?
I skipped posting some albums the first time because I really thought it's impossible to narrow it down to five. However, giving some more thought to it and being honest, there're five albums (cheating a little bit) that will be the favourites ever because they became a part of my memories from when I was young. the order is just orientative. 1.- The Beatles: Abbey Road (yes, I love Revolver, Rubber Soul, Let it Be and Help! too, and like all the others, however this one is my recurring goto). I never got it in vinyl, I "stole" an original cassette from my godmother aunt. 2.- Toto: Hydra 2.- Supertramp: Crisis, What Crisis? It's not a mistake, there are two #2. As a teenager I was poor. I had spent my savings of about 3 years in a stereo system, so I was broke and had little money to buy records. These two albums were recorded from friends LPs into a 90' cassette, one each side of the tape. I can't say how many times I listened to that tape with headphones in my bedroom. Later I bought the Supertramp's in vinyl. 3.- Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon This one I got directly in vinyl with Atom Heart Mother. Later came Wish You Were Here. I never got to really dig The Wall with the same devotion. 4.- Sting: The Dream of the Blue Turtles I love most of Police albums and a couple of them would have made a larger than 5 favourites list. I think Sting is a unique, gifted, tune composer. He got better albums than this, I know, but this one and its "If you love someone set them free" was released the year that my father died. A lot of reasons made it getting stuck in my head forever. 5.- Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong: Ella & Louis I made acquaintance with this one a few years later, but soon got into that cloud of favourite albums. It was a tie with Grover Washington Jr's "Winelight" though, which got there earlier in my life.

Unsure most of you are going to like it, but perhaps it's a glimpse into what's wrong with humankind and our future.

No it didn't. I'm glad Carlos won, it was about time that nothing broke in his car. Things keep getting more interesting. A miracle that Zhou was unhurt.

What TV show are you watching now?
I'm two episodes into Beforeigners season 1 The initial idea seems great, but the development isn't as good as the expectations it generates. It's becoming as any other detective/police/crime series. Maybe #3 introduces an interesting twist.

Why would they use a balanced expensive pot if almost none of their wealthy moronic customers is going to notice?
