this particular entry into the audio-biography got me thinking about the sum and it's parts. in certain instances the sum is greater than the parts. take 'the hazards of love' by the decemberists as an example. i have to set aside an hour to listen to that album. it's one where i can't pick just a few of my favorites songs because they lose something solo. there are also instances where the parts are so independently great the sum is muddied up. take a listen to the 'day & age' album by the killers. great songs, but it lacks that unifying quality (and the song 'human' sucks big time).
i think this is why i'm so enamored by the church. when christ is exalted in his bride there is nothing that rivals the sum or parts of her beauty. as for my wife...a beautiful woman, and because of what christ has done in both of our lives i can say that "[she] is altogether beautiful...there is no spot or blemish in [her]."
the following list came together nicely.
1. duke of earl - gene chandler
2. the right - lou barlow
3. pink - boris
4. boogie - black joe lewis & the honeybears
5. why i am - dave matthews band (how about that tim reynolds)
6. feelingpulledapartbyhorses - thom yorke
7. a postcard to nina - jens lekman
8. inni mer syngur vitleysingur - sigur ros
9. sweet disposition - the temper trap
10. fresh blood - eels
11. don't take me to space (man) - brakesbrakesbrakes
12. sister kate - the ditty bops
13. place your hands - reef
14. eagle rock - daddy cool
15. warm heart of africa - the very best
16. spaceman - the killers
17. crown him - red mountain church
