The Best Albums of 2010, in the Form of Haiku
SLEIGH BELLS – TREATS
Blow out your speakers
Speak in tongues and playground chants
God’s own beat moves feet
JANELLE MONAE – THE ARCHANDROID
Future saviour brings
Swirl of sounds and mighty voice
Stands astride genres
LOS CAMPESINOS! – ROMANCE IS BORING
Strings, horns, distortion
Regret is our seaside town
New lows our new heights
TRENT REZNOR & ATTICUS ROSS – THE SOCIAL NETWORK SOUNDTRACK
Wintry obsession
Quiet hum of minds at work
Fear burns slow and long
GIRL TALK – ALL DAY
Mash-up makes meaning
Ten thousand parties find voice
Get your damn hands up
About the author:
Tim Maytom is a twisted genius of the type
this website can only respect and celebrate.
Society at large, meanwhile, shuns his dark
briliance. And so Tim pulls down his mask,
applies his goggles, and is forced into hiding
along with his genetically-engineered pet cat
and loyal workforce of faceless clones.
Regardless, he keeps up regular broadcast
from his volcano lair at trivia-lad.tumblr.com
