Once upon a time, I interned as a page designer for a newspaper. That meant I was essentially a creature of the night. I didn’t have anything resembling “normal” work hours, and pretty much the only people I interacted with were the people I lived with and the people I worked with. My roommate from that summer recommended this Wu-Tang Clan album. (Hi Greg!) I chose it because this is probably the farthest thing from the numerous Paul Simon albums that make up my “most played” list on my iPod.
The other album, Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago was recommended by multiple people, so I’m going to trust your collective judgement and try it out. It’s also probably more appropriate for just how incredibly white I am.
