I used to blog about music a lot more than I do now. I'm not sure what happened in the last couple years but I guess somewhere along the way I got too caught up in wrestling and football and politics. Well that ends now. It's long past time I introduce the Vundaverse© to the very foundation of my deeply religious love of music: my TOP 50 ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. This is, of course, a very fluid list--always changing and evolving. So, just think of this as a time capsule and know that while the pieces may shift around a bit and a few new ones may appear from time to time, for the most part, this list represents the music I love more than anything in the whole world and probably always will. I'll start at the bottom, of course, because otherwise where's the suspense?! This week I have 13 honorable mentions to... mention ...and then I'll do the list in increments of ten--50-41, 40-31, 30-21, 20-11--until I get to the top ten. The top ten will be given the royal treat...

So at the very last minute an old friend of mine who works at the BB&T Center was able to snag me an extra ticket to see the almighty NIИ live in concert. It was my first time ever seeing NIИ live and it definitely did not disappoint. I'll have a full review up soon but for now, I was inspired to craft this sweet mix CD of 20th century NIИ songs (their 21st century material doesn't really do it for me). Enjoy! 1. Pinion 2. Wish 3. Mr. Self Destruct 4. Somewhat Damaged 5. The Day the World Went Away 6. Heresy 7. March of the Pigs 8. Something I Can Never Have (Still) 9. The Frail 10. The Wretched 11. We're In This Together 12. The Fragile 13. Just Like You Imagined 14. Dead Souls 15. Head Like a Hole 16. Terrible Lie 17. Hurt
