Last weekend, I had the opportunity to just walk around in Prague and take pictures and take in the scenery.  It was great.  What I found even better was that the albums I had chosen to listen to while wandering around seemed to fit exactly with the places and people I was observing.  Thus, here's the list I have made of the top 5 albums to wander around in Prague to.

1. The Format - Dog Problems - The day was sunny, and people were happy, and as I stood in the square that only a week before had been the scene of a large public viewing of the 2010 World Cup, I was amazed that people were walking to the beat in my earphones.  People were kissing each other in time with the songs.  I must mention that the Snails EP might have also gotten mixed in here somehow, because I remember hearing that acoustic version of Tune Out.
2. fun. - Aim and Ignite - This rode the coattails of the Format, but it brought a bigger happiness to my overall feeling as I walked toward the castle in Prague.  It put a spring in my step, and as I stopped to take pictures over the river, it just seemed to fit.
3. Keane - Perfect Symmetry - I never actually made it to the castle.  A combination of Keane's new album and the amazing architecture on the way had me stopping to take pictures and thinking about art and writing songs and getting lost and hoping I wouldn't find my way back home.  This album actually repeated twice, and much of at least one run was consumed while I sat in a small garden and watched people walk through.
4. The Postal Service - Give Up - The fact that this album was on my phone was probably fated specifically for my walk home.  I stopped on the way home to eat some sort of meat hanging on a stick (I thought it was a pork knuckle, but after actually having a pork knuckle, I have no idea what it was; probably horse).  I watched the exodus of a wedding leave a gorgeous church building and head out to wherever the party was going to start.  As I listened to "I have to speculate that God Himself would make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces," I couldn't but think "that's surreal."
5. Lydia - Illuminate - The next day, I got out and walked around a bit more.  The rain slowed me down and kept me from wandering too far.  Lydia's music gave me this haunted feeling as I walked around Wenceslas Square in the rain.  This album actually played through twice as well, since I walked around the museum at the same time, looking at statues that were older than my country.

Alright, a close runner up here is Boys Night Out's "Trainwreck."  I was feeling a bit ill on the first day, but it seemed to have a good balance of energy for me.  I was actually reading in the litlle garden previously mentioned as I listened to this album.  It's usually a bit emo for me, but is also a really strong album.
