    I'd say right now my favourate album would be 'Fields - Everything Last Winter' but I'm really enojoying the new Band of Horses album so that may in the running after i've listened to it some more.

    Not been a great year for albums for me, alot of stuff been a letdown in various degrees like NIN, Pumpkins, New Pornographers, Silverchair, Arcade Fire, Powderfinger, Modest Mouse.

    "A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
