Hello dear,

 

Just a quickie:

 

Our album Welcome Home, Loser was included in The Guardian's 1000 Albums You Should Hear Before You Die, thus making it a good candidate for a durable Christmas present, perhaps for your racist uncle. More on Christmas presents soon.

 

Right, we're off to Toe Rag.

Take care,

The Broken Family Band

'Frazzled Krautrock'...? YHF...?

[DueReflection]

even if they give backhanded praise to 2112, this list is still suspect... Spice Girls but not anything from The Specials?

 

i think i can die comfortably without listening to the spice girls.

I have plenty of music on my horizon, I don't need 1000 more suggestions to sift through.

The list's write-up of March 16-20 by Uncle Tupelo includes this:

This, their folkiest record, was the third of four albums they made before they split and Tweedy became cult rock royalty with Wilco.

 

...and Jay Farrar went on to form Son Volt? Maybe about 9 more words could have been squeezed in?

 

Also, why is UT put into bands that begin with T?

[LouieB]

This is just way too much trouble.....

this is a ridiculous list. the fact that every band can only have one album included as part of the list basically makes the entire thing pointless.
