Biggest Waste of Time and A Forty Thousand Peso DSLR Camera Ever: Urban Wrestling With Coco’s Favorite CDs (Nos. 6 to 1)
May 2, 2008The digital debauchery continues with my six most beloved albums of all time. (Previously: Nos. 12-7)
Also, in case you’re wondering, and you probably aren’t, but I’ll say it anyway, a lot of these albums are from the early to mid-2000s. My interest in music peaked when I was in college, hence the abundance of titles on this list which were released in that period, and my lack of a sex life.
#6: Andrew W.K. "I Get Wet"
And here he is getting a big boot from Lance Hoyt. I first heard material from Mr. W.K. on the soundtrack of Jackass: The Movie, and from "We Want Fun" alone, I knew that I needed to hear more. I don’t generally enjoy going to places where loud music is played, as it hinders my concentration on getting stone-drunk. But if there’s one album that should be played in its entirety at any party, it’s this one. Also, the intro to "Ready to Die" was my message alert tone for at least two years.
It’s Time to Party (Andrew W.K.)
#5: Tenacious D "Tenacious D"
Back in late 2001, I was going through a really tough breakup, and I distinctly remember conveying the news to my Mom on the phone while she and my Dad were in the States. She did the typical Mom stuff like saying that it was going to be alright, that I was young, that there’s plenty of other fish in the sea, etc. I got all choked up but the next 29 words to come out of her mouth immediately brought a smile to my face:
Oo nga pala, I bought you that Planet of the Apes DVD na. Pati yung CD na may dalawang naka-hubad na mama at demonyo sa cover anubato (By the way, I bought you that Planet of the Apes DVD already. And that CD with the two naked guys and a devil man on the cover whatisthisshit) -Coco’s Mom, October 2001
Of course, I still tumbled towards unparalleled depression for the next 18 months, but the one CD that helped me get through the sad times would have to be the debut from Tenacious Fucking D. Also, that’s Samoa Joe creeping up for the Coquina Clutch.
