As is, really. Just albums that I've acquired this year.
Hopefully new and exciting things but I'm also aking an effort to pick up albums I've missed out on in the past and those that I have downloaded and not bought - both for monetary reasons at the time and which will be rectified slowly!
Mid-year report (15/7): going slowly! Not includng any singles on this list and I've bought some random things here and there. Also partially given in to some cheesy emo metal because it's entertaining.
Any opinions on DFA1979? I, uh, acquired it on an evaluation basis and still don't know whether I like it or not.
R.I.P. Mclusky. ::sniff::
What what what? Don't tell me Mclusky broke up... I'll weep for days.
I'm afraid it is true :(
Very delayed reply for I am a fool who didn't realise there were comments here.
I bought the DFA1979 album a little while back and I'm still not hugely enamoured of it. I think I want to like it more than I do but listens just make me think "ok" rather than something special.
How does Want Two compare to the first installment (assuming you've heard it)?
I love goldfrapp.
