Suck on it, haters: Pitchfork declares Kid A the #1 album of the first half of the '00s.
I know it's somewhat ridiculous to get excited about a pointless exercise in masturbatory indie list-making, and I know that my enthusiasm here only reconfirms my place squarely in the crosshairs of Ms. Petrusich's observation that "in certain circles, you were only as credible as your relationship to this album," but, damn, if I ain't going to go listen to it with my headphones right now and proceed to weep shimmering robotic tears onto my pillow of intergalactic ice.

". . . Keys yearn to mix with change. Mandolins strive to get out of tune. Every order has within it the germ of destruction. All order is doomed, yet the battle is worth while." --Nathanael West
About Me
- allison
- Chicago
- This is an online corral for the knee-jerk reactions, musings, rants, reviews, logorrhea, missives, revelations, and other passionate silliness from Allison Felus. She's shorter than you think she is; when left to her own devices, she is an unrepentant night owl; she smiles at babies and dogs when she sees them on the street; she loves you just the way you are, except for when you're kind of being a jackass.

While I would agree (and have said myself) that Kid A is the greatest album of the last 5-10 years, I still enjoy Amnesiac more. Of course, I tend to prefer the brilliant but flawed over the undisputedly brilliant.
