Another off Topic/Your Favorite Albums
Yes, Kenji. Another favorite is Amalia Live At The Olympia, Paris.
I guess I’m bored enough to do this now.
…I don’t want to do this anymore. I keep thinking of albums and albums. This was a bad idea.
Shotzi I had the same problem, I started looking through my collection of albums picking out favs, and just stopped after it became apparent my list was going to be 50+ or so.
…Then I just decided to screw it, and post the first few that came to mind.
no particular order:
thats all for now
The Midnight Organ Fight – Frightened Rabbit
Left & Leaving – The Weakerthans

Oh, and Susan M will you marry me? Anyone that has BRUCE GILBERT’s Insiding on their list is someone I’d leave my wife for.
Strawdawg, I return the sentiment. Would say “I do” to you just for knowing of and appreciating Bruce Gilbert – and also for hating cell phones and noisy cineplexes as much a I do.
Susan:
I don’t know if you’ve seen this on youtube, but anyone who knows who Bruce Gilbert or Wire is has got to see this:
