oh, that's why I need this binary mind // ⌘I'm just gonna take my overall top 10 artists on last.fm and post my favorite album by each:
- David Bowie - Low *
- The Spinto Band - Nice And Nicely Done
- Weezer - The Blue Album *
- They Might Be Giants - Lincoln
- Ween - The Mollusk
- Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!
- Shudder To Think - Pony Express Record
- Eels - Electroshock Blues
- Tom Waits - Rain Dogs *
- Beck - Odelay
Asterisks denote bands I haven't heard everything by.
I don't think I listen to The Spinto Band quite as much as the charts reflect - I think it's just because I have a bunch of their self-released albums on my computer, and those have a lot of tracks to them.
