2005 Year End Album List

Today I started making a list of all the albums that I got this year. Right now, I have listed 34 albums, I'm waiting on one in the mail, and I still have yet to listen to five others. I also started to try and order them, which is a real beast to try and determine which was better, Spoon or Bloc Party? I think I have finally come to the conclusion of what will be the best album of the year. I know it's a little premature since I have to listen to six albums but I think I finally found an album to fall in the same category as album of the decade with Modest Mouse's The Moon and Antarctica.

Currently Listening To:
Rogue Wave - Descended Like Vultures - Salesman at the Day of the Parade

Home Site

Ok, well I finally got my home site backup, the main word there is home site. Because I supposedly have http://deadbeef.dynalias.com linked/aliased to my home site but I have not been able to visit this site from work. I even have a script that updates my ip to the dynamic dns alias, still haven't been able to get it to work. The only thing I can think of is that for some reason work is blocking it. Nope TCT just verified that it's my router. Good to know. Well, I better get back to painting...
