ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love "Hello Exile" & "The Drew Thomson Foundation". I don't know how you manage to listen to 50 albums each year though!
ReplyDeleteFavourite albums of the decade include "Schmaltz", "On the Impossible Past" & the Self Titled from the Front Bottoms
As always thanks for your blog. It has been (and still is) my favourite source to discover new music. Cheers!
Great list. I admit i don’t know them all but i know and like a lot of them. Especially like that you (like myself) love different kinds of music
ReplyDeleteI love and have loved this blog since I was the 16-year-old in my Blogger icon. (I didn't even realize I had a Blogger icon.)
ReplyDeletethanks for keeping this blog up, always checking in man, your a legend
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon this blog a few years ago and I have kept coming back to find albums from obscure bands (some of these are favorites of mine now) which aren't available anywhere else on the internet.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the work that you do. And hope you keep this blog up for years to come! <3
Tnx for the great music.
ReplyDeleteFor this noise corner
Hugs from Mexico!
