We're more than halfway through - so which 5 have stood out the most to you so far?

Fantomas - Suspended Animation
Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw
Red Sparowes - At The Soundless Dawn
Clutch - Robot Hive/Exodus
Death From Above 1979 - You're A Woman I'm A Machine

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.

I'd go with:

Frank Black - Honeycomb
Laura Cantrell - Humming by the Flowered Vine
Tori Amos - The Beekeeper
Decemberists - Picaresque
Carolyn Mark - Just Married: An Album of Duets



I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied.

Bob Mould - Body of Song

50 Foot Wave - Golden Ocean
Bruce Springsteen - Devils and Dust



But we didn't buy the same CDs. If we lived together we'd had 10 new records! How cool would that be?

There is something wrong with this line of thinking, Denis. Think about it. (No offense,Steve.)



I don't see what's wrong. He lives in a beautiful place, he bought the records I've been meaning to get... And he could take care of the kids.

No I remember dancing around to The Futureheads album in a hotel room in Nottingham at New Year, dressed in women's underwear, off my head on drugs.

Wheeeheeeeee!

Offerw - the Fantomas album is truly something as always - it's their children's album featuring noises from cartoons (and the standard genius Patton nimble larynx work) - recorded at the same time as Delirium Cordia (their death album) and each track is a tribute to the month of April.
