Get struth'd!

Now you added a Justine Clarke so I'm interested

 

[CiG]

I decided to chuck out all the EPs from my list. Albums only.

 

[Bloopy]

Out of EPs included and people not using list tags as Grumbles requested, the thing that makes me itch is @Slammed not using a consistent artist - title order. The band Flowers doing well with their album Icehouse.

This is actually from 1979.

Ahhh fuck, then RYM is lame.

Or not. Probably just be another case of Discogs taking the printed copyright year as release year, much like the Crass one. Harder to find info, but seems like Jan 1980 was its official release date. Sub Pop website agrees with 1980. Maybe some people got their hands on it early but eh.

ooo, game-changer.

I love to trigger people by not doing things 'their' way.

Looks like you're right! Fuck, going to have to edit my list again.

You're fucking Frank Sinatra?

 

[CiG]

You know me, I...

At least you swing, some people are too stiff to swing.

Like you in the presence of another man's arsehole.

 

[Slammed]

Dammit, I thought we agreed not to discuss our private life in public?

Nah, I'm not willing to go that far because of your indiscretion

Spoiler

order probably isn't perfect but i'm pretty sure this is my 10. i take back what i said, this year is pretty good. cheating a bit with brats as i listed them in the metal thread, but if i'd known we'd do a non-metal list at the time i wouldn't have included it there, more of a rock album to me.
