Shame on me for forgetting Yo La Tengo's Painful. Another fave of mine that gets many repeated listens.
There's a bunch of newer albums that may make this list soon enough for me. Adele's 19 may actually get better every time I listen to… -
@mommio - Really good choice with Graceland. I would probably put that in my top 10 all time. Although as a big McLachlan fan, I found Mirrorball incredibly disappointing. Did not…

Already trimmed about 50 albums. A tad more manageable.
-
@thirstyear - It's been working better lately. And it's weird because I know that people with larger collections have no problem. My library is 240GB at this point, but foobar…

Whoa, mommio's making this thread look all professional and whatnot. Two can play at that game... assuming I can remember the BBCode for underline.

Mine is coming from gravatar, too. It'll probably change soon since the current pic is from my wedding. Then again, it might be nice to keep using that one as my "global mug".

@ Cumpulsive - Sorry to hear that. Data loss sucks. But you're starting back up with an awesome band!
@qwynwyn - I just started to dip my toes into Quantic over at Ami… -
@elwoodicious - SSSSSHHHHIIIIILLLLL!!!
And I now have the Alan Wilkis and Lizzy Parks albums in my collection. Excellent recs, and you shall be rewarded in Simon… -
With the width of my browser your face is cut off directly below the nose. It comes off as a brilliant self-portrait that way. You should turn it into an avatar.
Speaking of which - you people need to get with the avi making. I'm not big… -
MrV won last month with 60 points. Congratulations! Now get on with your reign!
-
I gave you a bump Katrina, seeing as the boosters dropped. Used 12 of my 15 to pick up the At Folsom Legacy Edition befor…

I had no clue he had co-founded kickstarter. Good for him. It's funny, I was going to suggest that maybe he wasn't around because he figured now would be a good time to get the hell out of over yonder...
-
I better like this, or somebody owes me a beer...
-
It was a close race to the end, however unless some points have failed to be posted we have a winner. The top three:
MrV - 60
kez - 56
Wesley - 51
Congrats MrV. May God have mercy on your thread... -
Long weekend with the little 'un. I'll whip out my abacus this morning and figure the totals...

While I disagree with the somewhat harsh notion that more than a few listens in a year is bad, I think the good doctor does have a point about exercising some self-restraint. Cut Copy's In Ghost Colors was playing nonstop for a couple months in my c…

It takes a while to build (or rebuild) a community. There's probably only a dozen active users over here so far. And yet there's still a number of music-based threads that have 30+ responses. Not bad for a board that was almost forgotten about until…

"You are correct, Raymond, I agree with all points.
(But, be prepared for disappointing results.) "
Funny that he's agreeing to a truce, but feels the need to "snipe at the other side" at the same time.
I have no … -
Those interested in October Project, at least grab "Bury My Love" and "Return to Me" off their s/t debut. The latter, in particular, brings back bittersweet high school memories... They make very haunting alternarock music. Think a cross between Sar…

I was already getting bored when the two of them felt the need to stir it up. The music discussions over here have been occupying my time, so they were easy to ignore. Ray's victim complex regarding Sony is just... I don't even know what. No matter …
-
@Daniel - I've played those discs several times each, but am terrible with naming the tracks. Popped that particular one on - that is one sexy groove!
And please post … -
@elwoodicious - Definitely the kind of music to drive obsession. I particularly love Litany of Echoes. Wish I had grabbed The Glass Bead Game before it more than doubled in …
-
Delorean is like a trashy version of Cut Copy or Friendly Fires. If you got "As Time Breaks Off" when it was a freebie, you could probably put it on repeat for 50 minutes and get the same effect as listening to the whole album. And yet I still love …
-
Just a warning, I absolutely love Twin Cinema, but have never been able to get into any of their other albums.
I'll definitely check out the Cass McCombs and the Trampled by Turtles sounds interesting. -
Since I've already posted my personal blog, there's no reason for me to hold anything back.
I'm in my 30s. About to celebrate… -
As always, I'll pimp my personal blog (which I plan to include more talk regarding music in the future):
THOMnottom.com
As well as my friend and his pop culture blog which regularly… -

"Taking it seriously" might be a little too strong. There was a time when I had hoped to turn it into a blog that would garner some real attention. But that faded quickly and I've learned to focus on just having fun and giving my friends and family …

The two threads over there in response to this one are hysterical...
