3 Comments:
It's funny-when you have a newfound interest in a particular artist, and happen to add a couple to your queue, it gives this wildly inaccurrate representation of one's musical tastes, or fixation of a particular artist.
People could look at how my collection over the past few months has changed and say, "What's with you & Paul Simon," when in fact I'm just using the great YourMusic deal to accumulate a few of his older albums for which I am long overdue.
As for you: "What's with you & Elvis Costello!"
On a side note: if you like country music, and you like Elvis Costello, you REALLY NEED to get Almost Blue.
Good stuff through and through.
Pressure Chief continues Cake's string of very listenable albums, and is perhaps a bit better than the last one.
This will be my first Adderly.
SNC-- Own it.
Blakey-- Bought a cut-out The Freedom Rider for two bucks. Love it, and it was some of the first music that Elsa really responded to.
Thanks for the recommendations.
