I am realizing that I am always one album (or more) behind, even if it’s some of my favourite bands.
Death Cab: still stuck on Plans, have given Narrow Stairs maybe 3-4 times run through only.
Radiohead: stuck on every album before In Rainbows, basically.
Coldplay: have pretty much never gone through that seemingly crap new album.
The Killers: same story, just listened to some of the singles on that new album.
Franz Ferdinand: still stuck on their debut album, actually.
U2: have yet to get my hands on their latest album, for the fear that it sucks (it probably does?).
Bright Eyes: still stuck on I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning, because I still think it has some of the best written songs in the past decade!
Manic Street Preachers: stuck in the 90’s when it comes to their music.
The Verve: can any new album live up to Urban Hymns? Seriously?
And I could probably go on and on……
Wow, that’s a fair number of bands that you have to keep up with
A big reason is because I have been listening to TEAM1040 (sports radio station) for the past 2-3 months, which means I seldom listen to music.
