So we're having a work team-building planning day/bollocks whatsit next week and we've been given a list of things they want us to do in advance.
We have to come up with three factoids about ourselves - one of which has to be untrue and people have to work out which is made up - hilarity ensues. I'm thinking of throwing in either pedo, general sex offender or amateur abortionist - you know, just to liven it up a bit.
We also have to take the album that we think best represents us. Naturally, I'm taking this far too seriously - working through all the options and thinking about the ramifications of any choice. Do you go for one of the top 5? or a classic album? Wacky? Offensive? Inappropriate?? Political? It's a tightrope!
The top 5 is currently (alphabetically by artist) - The White album, Nevermind, Definitely Maybe and OK Computer (the fifth spot is currently vacant). But like Voltron, the four permanent members of the top 5 can't really work alone - that could be perceived as picking 'a' favourite album... who knows what could happen if that were to occur??
But going classic is risky - is it something like The Doors self titled album? ACDC's Back in Black? REM? Or should I go 'worthy' with Marvin Gaye's What's Going On or Sgt Peppers? Maybe all cool and alternative with some Sufjan Stevens, Sonic Youth or Flaming Lips? Mysterious and moody with some Ryan Adams or Johnny Cash - the man comes around? Zany with Tenacious D? Just plain odd with John and Yoko's Two Virgins? Would people get the irony if I took some Phil Collins or NWA??
Argh who knows?? I have a week or so to work it out. Ideas appreciated.

You need something very new and hip, so they'll all think you're an enigmatic dark horse. Don't ask me what though, I'm not enigmatic or darkhorse-ish enough.
Maybe I should pick up an NME and break out something isnt even here yet??? hmmm that could work!?
The way i see it it comes down to the point raised in Pulp Fiction. There are two type of people in this world. Beatles people and Elvis people. Which are you? Beatles.
Take their best album (no not the white album) Abbey Road.
Failing that, step up and take Definitely Maybe, you know you love it. It is you through and through. Your era, your style, your heroes! You know you feel the connection everytime you play supersonic!
Plus - oasis are cool again, who'd have thought?! Bonus.
PS - you hear Noel's latest solo live album? Fantastic stuff! 5 stars.
