There Really Is More To Life: A List

After reading what people put on these here blogs, I was inspired to write a list of my top favorites and least favorites. Unemployment seems to make me more prolific toward writing, anyway. Here goes:

Top Fifteen Albums To Listen To (Or Not Listen To) While Cooking, Cleaning or Doing Other Remedial Kitchen Chores:
Alternate title-Top Fifteen Albums To Dance To or Sing at Karaoke

15. A Tribe Called Quest-The Low End Theory I love "Butter" on my tortillas, which I eat like most people eat bread.

14. The Replacements-Let It Be It is my dream to sing "I Will Dare" in front of people...if I did that sort of thing, and if any karaoke bar had this on the karaoke list.

13. Public Enemy-It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back
No one fires up my anger like Chuck D. Plus, Flavor Flav wears a clock, so he always knows what time it is. That really helps when you're cooking something.

12. Beat Happening-Self-Titled
It's good to throw out ba-ad, bad bad seeds.

11. Beck-Guero
I love this one. He may be a Scientologist, but Beck still rocks. Plus, he was animated in "Futurama."

10. Bjork-Debut
Although some say Post is a better album, this one has "Big Time Sensuality" and "There's More to Life Than This," which make washing dishes fun! Okay, not really.

9. Deee-Lite-World Clique
This is just an excuse to put this album on one of my lists. "Try Me On, I'm Very You" actually seems more like a shopping song, and "World Clique" speaks more toward peace in the Middle East, but it is good enough to be on all of my lists.

8. The Rolling Stones-(tie)Sticky Fingers and Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers is for those pesky dishes that have been sitting in the sink for a few days. It was also the soundtrack to my high school years. Let It Bleed is for the knife washing. Ouch!

7. The Roots-Things Fall Apart
This is what would happen if I had nice plates or crystal glasses.

6. The B-52s-self-titled
Sarah Vowell said that she cuts celery and carrots to "Rock Lobster." Due to my current financial situation, all I can do is "Rock Tuna In A Can."

5. Talking Heads-More Songs About Buildings and Food
I couldn't resist this one. I am partial to "Remain in Light" because the content is better, but the title of "MSABAF" wins this round.

4. Sleater-Kinney-The Hot Rock
"Burn Don't Freeze" is terrible advice, especially for me, since I usually live on microwave dinners.

3. Le Tigre-This Island
"Don't Eat Poison" is really the best advice from the queens of feminist electronica.

2. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion-Now I Got Worry.
Even though "Fuck Shit Up" is only good if liquor is involved, this is one of my favorites for everything!

1. Ol Dirty Bastard-Shimmy Shimmy Ya (single) This is because I don't like it raw.
