I once read somewhere that the three things Steve Albini endorses are: Nutter Butters, Abbey Road Studios, and All Tomorrow's Parties.

I was roasting a pork loin last night in my Le Creuset Dutch Oven and thought to myself "this is a product I truly endorse." Then I laughed because while i was doing some electrical work the other weekend i filled one of the pockets of my tool belt with Good & Plenty candy and I thought "you know, I can truly endorse this candy." That left me with a third slot to fill, which came to me right away: rear engine automobiles. However, three endorsements are not enough to fill those that I truly endorse, so I'm gonna go with five.

In no particular order:

1. Good & Plenty Candy
2. Le Creuset Cookware
3. Vinyl Records
4. Rear-Engine Automobiles
5. Making stuff with your hands

What five things do you endorse? For brevity's sake please limit yourselves to five.

while that is all well and good, my post isn't for products, it could be anything.

but thanks, i'll add to that post now.

1. This old book from the 60s I stumbled across called ADVENTURES OF THE MIND. It's incredible how spot-on it is, like it was written today.

2. BULLEIT BOURBON.

3. The documentary WHY WE FIGHT, which summed up my feelings on a mountain of issues.

4. COLLARD GREENS, hot and garlicky.

5. JB WELD, which for over two years has aided me in the hopeless pursuit of keeping my broken glasses.
