If you haven't listened to these yet (Alex, I think you're the only one even sporadically reading this), do yourself a favor and get to it.
I check back on a fairly regular basis. If other people don't it's because they've got no taste. I'm loving everything you've posted.
ReplyDeleteI was pleased at how very few of these are missing from my collection (only two from the top 10) and I can't wait to sink my ears into the rest over the next week or so. :)
