*Incompetent Badgers.*

undulating seas of eternal despair - my internet connection.

there is something beautiful in insomnia.

albums of the decade.

so, spurred on by a friend who did a similar list not so long ago, i thought i’d give my own a try, and damn, it was harder than i’d first envisaged. the problem wasn’t so much *thinking* of the albums, just moreso putting them in order. i don’t keep my room in order, let alone a LIST! anyway, waffling aside, here is the list, in all its flawed glory. i know it’s not perfect, and it very much is an indication of my own PERSONAL likes, so bear that in mind when you read it. for your own personal benefit i’ve also included the youtube links to (what i think are) good songs from said albums, so just click the band, and hey presto.
