That's part of the syndrome actually: politeness, respect, eclecticism, all discourse part of the PR industry, everything goes. People don't get heated enough about this sort of thing. When I'm short of inspiration, I can also post about one of the hot 100. In future, I hope to build up something on every one of the albums. In the first instance, I've hyperlinked to pieces I've already written on particular albums at k-punk. I've decided to treat is as working document at least then it won't be a purely reactive blast against the Observer's list. The eagle-eyed amongst you might have noticed that I've put the top 100 up on the sidebar. I simply thought about which records I've bought (and some which I've, not to my credit, gotten rid of) over the years, and tried to decide which ones had most impact on me. Well, I can say honestly that there was nothing contrived on my list. Incidentally, Matt commented the other day (25.06 - no permalinx on the hyper-minimalist Woebotnik, natch) that top 100 lists are 'almost constructed to shore off the sniping remarks of one's peers'. "A master of the ulcerated torrent" eh? Like that - it's going on the cv.
