31 Favorite Albums of the Decade 2000-2009

A friend of mine came up with his list of the top 11 albums of the past decade, which inspired me to do this. I've never been much for creating 'best of' lists, but it was an interesting exercise to review what I've been into for the past ten years. No way could I limit my favorites to just 10 or so albums, though. So I made it 31, in keeping with the spirit of my friend's odd-numbered list. So here they are, in chronological order:

My Morning Commute - Door to Door

I started commuting to work by bike in May, 2003. It's a pretty nice ride and I've never photographed it until now. Dig it:

My Morning Commute - Door to Door

A clearing of the throat.
