INTRO  A humanoid's guide to essential music albums. Which came about during a flight trip, long time ago. There I read an article listing an album track list that claimed to be the essential music albums set that one should know of ...   I found out that Emirates mentioned the "Essential Albums" article as part of their their entertainment system (see snippet below), but I did not find the narrated albums list. THE STIMULI As I both knew and even owned a couple of the albums from the article, I decided to first try out the suggested album list. Afterwards trying to build my own an even "better" essential album list:-) Which is below work product. CRITERIA First thing first. What defines an essential album? And what makes an album truely great? How much is influenced by context of the album? I believe one should trust one's own instincts, emotions and subjective impressions (feelings, moods, energy) of one's experience of listening to a pa...

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. Havin' now established meself as a right miserable bastard, I'm off home to drink me carry-out an' read me trashy novel. See you." Guess which character?
