what about the fling??????
The Fling album will be (re-) released on Dangerbird in 2011, and it will be on my 2011 list — guarantee it. Couldn’t decide whether to include it in this year’s list, finally opted to save it for ’11.
No SEASONS??? Winter had some great tunes!
My bad. 40 lashes. Should have included “…Of Our Discontent” — now I owe those boys beers.
Agree on Seasons, and what about Regrets & Brunettes? You turned me on to them Kevin, “Tough Love” is the jam.
You know what? I screwed up there too — I thought that album was from 2009 because that’s the way it’s listed in my iTunes. I absolutely should have included “Tough Love” in the countdown. My bad. Should have checked my 2009 list.
