Organized confusion. LA resident. Connoisseur of burritos. Lazily satisfying all of your music/sports/fitness/pop culture needs.  var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-25024901-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

Top 10 Albums of 2014. In no particular order, except for Royal Blood. #1 in a landslide.

RANDOM START: NOFX 'Champs Elysees'

Just in case you didn't think these were random.

I remember going with a buddy to Music Trader in San Diego to buy this the day it came out in '97. Also the last NOFX record I bought.

(Not So) RANDOM START - I'll be listening to this non-stop for the indeterminable future.

RANDOM START: Russian Circles 'Ethel'

A band that manages to be heavy, yet soothing at the same time. No small feat.

[letter26]

RANDOM START: Closure In Moscow 'Mauerbauertraurigkeit'

So very underrated. If you're unfamiliar with these guys, please give them a shot.

RANDOM START: Doomriders 'Gone to Hell'

Welcome to Monday morning. Love, Doomriders

RANDOM START: Weather Report "Birdland"

Man, Jaco's bass harmonics FTW.

[letter26]

RANDOM START: Balance and Composure 'Separation'

I'm bad at music-ing. I definitely don't listen to this band enough.

RANDOM START: Mastodon 'The Motherload'

The heavy riffs. The vocal melodies. What a combination. What a record.

[letter26]

RANDOM START: Lagwagon 'Duh'

My intro to punk was repeated listenings of this and Propagandhi's "How To Clean Everything."

[letter26]

RANDOM START: Wayne Shorter 'Footprints'

From '100 Best of Blue Note.' Worth picking up.

[letter26]

RANDOM START: '68 'Track 10 .'

Such a great record. So raw and intense. No production tricks here, folks.

[letter26]

RANDOM START: Shy Girls 'Without'

If you're trying to set the mood at your desk, here you go.

[letter26]

RANDOM START: Nothing 'Hymn to the Pillory'

RS with a nice reminder that I need to listen to this album more.

[letter26]

RANDOM START: MR LITTLE JEANS 'THE SUBURBS'

You can't do better than the original, but nonetheless, a really great cover.

[letter26]

RANDOM START: Thrice 'In Exile'

Best song Thrice ever wrote, IMO. Near perfection.
