I can't default to wrath without knowing how much music is informing that opinion. What have you listened to, MD?

His radio stuff and his top 20 or so on Spotify. I just can't get past the voice and the music isn't interesting enough to keep me listening. I don't mind two or three tracks however.Kevin Davis wrote:I can't default to wrath without knowing how much music is informing that opinion. What have you listened to, MD?

Goodbye Cruel World is really not that bad. I listened to Trust recently and it was very deserving of all the accolades it has gotten.

Considering plat mocked me on tinychat bc I couldn't get the mic to work properly on the mobile app, I'm going to stay mum on the Costello conversation.

I prefer Wilco with Ken Coomer even though technically Glenn is the better drummer.

And the YHF demos have Ken on them (iirc). There's some lovely feels there.
