TITLE A humanoid's guide to essential music albums. Which came about during an Emirates flight. There I read an article that contained an album track list that some authors claimed to be the essential music albums that one should know of ... THE ARTICLE The article was labelled something like "Essential Albums" and contained a narrated list of about 100 allegedly essential music albums. The list featured only artists/albums of the so-called " western world ". Primarily representing the music genres of popular music. Unfortunately I cannot find the article on the Internet any longer. However, I did notice that Emirates still upholds its label of "Essential Albums" from their entertainment system (see snippet below). THE STIMULI I recall that I both knew and even owned a couple of the albums from the article. So I challenged myself to first try out the suggested album list, then perhaps building an even "better" essenti

Excerpt from fictionous character regarding kids and humans as a whole

"Think we're something worth prolonging, do you? We are NOT children of celestial fuckin' light, walkin' arm in arm into the age of aquarius. We are wankers who wreck the planet an' piss on each other, 'til half the world's starvin' an' the other half's busy findin' new ways to keep from noticin' it! Anyway.
