THE 5IVE

1) Alive 2007 -- Daft Punk

2) "Chunder" -- Say what you will, but when I fart, I chunder big time -- chunder, chunder, chunder, chunder. Chunder sauce, chunder struck, Chunder Mountain String Band, Chunder Bra, Chunder, chunder, chunder. It's a real nice word to use often and with gusto.

3) Still: Animal Collective. Enjoying Feels a lot, most guitar driven of their albums (maybe Strawberry Jam?), but Sung Tongs has been awesome lately. "Who Could Win a Rabbit?" is an infectious masterpiece. Sometimes I wish more of AC's stuff was like that.

4) A HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS by DAVE EGGERS -- Not his best book (WHAT IS THE WHAT) but it's damned good. Manic. The title is fairly accurate.

5) LOVE
