wow. i just learned a shit load from your post.
i only knew, like, 25% of what you wrote.
also, thanks for rubbing it in about dos equis! ;)
epic! also, thanks for the two picture links to TPS!
Blakroc all day and night since I got it. Clearly you know your shit. Awesome post.
<3
thanks guys!!!
You know, i have to say that out of any of the lists i have read this year, Im personally digging yours the most. Usually when you come across a top 10, it reads like condescending list of indie bands 75% of the general population has never heard of... And while your lists is in no way shape or form mainstream, it could at least be deemed accessible. And for that i say thank you :)
Ps i was actually combing through some albums I have and i as about to ask you if you had heard the Caspa and Rusko Fabric Album. It appears that you have, so there.
Pss. Your local events list is fuckin spot on. Cheers friend!
g.
yeah! i made your list!
