Black Sabbath's Master of Reality
Black Sabbath's Master of Reality | John Darnielle
2 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Black Sabbath's Master of Reality has maintained remarkable historical status over several generations; it's a touchstone for the directionless, and common coin for young men and women who've felt excluded from the broader cultural economy. John Darnielle hears it through the ears of Roger Painter, a young adult locked in a southern California adolescent psychiatric center in 1985; deprived of his Walkman and hungry for comfort, he explains Black Sabbath as one might describe air to a fish, or love to an android, hoping to convince his captors to give him back his tapes.

1. I think John Darnielle‘s 33 1/3 about Black Sabbath‘s Master of Reality might be the best book about music I‘ve ever read. Runners up: Touching From A Distance, Please Kill Me, Hairstyles Of The Damned, Heart-Shaped Box, etc
2. Ramones.
3. Too many, but maybe Sufjan Stevens‘ Christmas Spectacular, Sigur Ros in the rain, or a handful of my favorite European indiepop bands in a Richmond basement.
4. Currently: I Am Here (I Am Alive) by Bonny Doon
