47. Too young. At least he changed the world.

The end of the innocence.

College ended, and the horrors of adult life began. It’s possible all the time since then has been a Jacob’s Ladder-style fade out, or has taken place in an alternate reality. These were the albums that defined that transition:

  1. Radiohead – OK Computer
  2. Beck – Odelay
  3. Weezer – Pinkerton
  4. Garbage – Version 2.0
  5. Oasis – Be Here Now
  6. Catherine Wheel – Happy Days
  7. Afghan Whigs – Black Love
  8. Foo Fighters – self-titled
  9. Luna – Pup Tent
  10. Air – Moon Safari
  11. American Music Club – Engine
  12. Roni Size / Reprazent – New Forms
  13. Wu-Tang Clan – Wu-Tang Forever

Of those, Moon Safari and that Foo Fighters album are the only ones I can listen now to without looking back in anger.

And we’re back.

Hi.

Yeah, we had some issues with Bluehost, and we fired each other simultaneously. I’m sure we’re both happier and more well-adjusted for it.

Unfortunately while I have a database backup of the old blog before I nuked it from orbit, I didn’t have the presence of mind to do an actual WordPress export.

So right now I can’t say if the old rickshangle.com/blog content will ever return.

There’s something to be said for new beginnings.
