read the thread title
kthxbi

I wasnt arguing that, just stating my opinion, which was off topic in a faulkton thread, which is natural

Yeah, PTW had the best album of 2007..... I don't think they were even the best in their genre, much less best overall.

Possibly new Of Montreal and new LCD Soundsystem.

I vote 'Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna Are You the Destroyer?'
Sample track:

Ok, my votes for the best of '07 (taken mostly from my playlist).

LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver

Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?

Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga

Feist - The Reminder

Deerhunter - Cryptograms

Iron and Wine - The Shepherd's Dog

Beirut - The Flying Club Cup

Paramore - Riot!

Say Anything - In Defense of the Genre

Scary Kids Scaring Kids - Scary Kids Scaring Kids

Dinosaur Jr - Beyond

Coheed and Cambria - Dear Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow (preferred Volume 1 but I'm a CoCa fan...what can I say)

PJ Harvey - White Chalk

Tegan and Sara - The Con

It was a bad year for a lot of alt rock (punk, emo, post-hardcore, prog metal, etc.) in my opinion. Maybe give an honourary mention to Between the Buried and Me - Colors.

Indie ruled the world in 2007.

Lupe Fiasco - The Cool

Basically, he's pretty amazing. His first CD (food and liquor) and His 3 or so mixtapes were also amazing.

What is it about utopia that leads to genocide? Why do many attempts to build utopian societies end with state sponsored mass murders? It's a strange connection when you consider the definition of utopia: an ideal and perfect place or state where everyone lives in harmony and everything is for the best.

The Nazis dreamed of a utopian 1000 year reign and the Soviet Union slaughtered millions in their quest for a communist utopia . Many Cambodians have Pol Pot's attempt to build a peasant utopia to thank for their death. Armenia, Darfur, Rwanda, and the Balkans, are all examples of genocides perpetrated in an attempt to build a better and more utopian society.

The problem with building utopia is that a lot of people just simply don't fit into the new system. Their existence is at odds with the given vision of utopian nationalism. Elimination is required for the realization of the utopian society and genocide fills this need nicely. The diversity found in the conceptualization of utopia is ultimately responsible for mass murder and genocide.

So what can we take from all this? Don't trust hippies involved in politics. Their journey to a utopian society just might end in your death. We must also fight diversity because it is the catalyst of so many atrocities.

Who knows, if we all do our part we just might succeed.
