Black Eyes - Black Eyes
The Blood Brothers - Crimes
Ten Kens - Ten Kens
The Mae Shi - Terror Bird
Point Line Plane - Point Line Plane
Les Georges Leningrad - Sur Les Traces de Black Eskimo
Overall I really like these right now:
Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone
Greg Ashley - Medicine Fuck Dream
Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham) - I See a Darkness...
Woods - Songs of Shame
Delta Spirit - Ode to Sunshine
Electric President - Sleep Well
Kent - Du och Jag Döden
Tough Alliance - The New School
Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther

I enjoy DeVotchKa and Tom Waits (check out Chocolate Jesus) Both, I think use very distinct styles, especially Tom Waits.  He uses a darn megaphone! (His song (Little Drop of Poison) was also featured in Shrek 2). |

I'm moving my album reviews to Blogger. Here: palaeceofdreams.blogspot.comIt probably wouldn't be nice to keep posting on someone else's forum if I'm making it a regular thing! |

Is this forum still up? Jesus Christ.
It's been so long. If you actually go to that blog now you can see how far that reviewing thing got...
I'd like to thank you all for being interesting company. I remember the first time I posted here joined this forum I was, what, 15 years old? Now, being 18, I look back with bile fascination on my older writings and interests. At least I can always rely on the good old "I was just a confused little child" excuse.
Thanks Cactus, for your games. You might not know it but you're a source of some really quite alternate nostalgia for me. Your games are still absolutely fascinating and brilliantly put together. One question though: Are you alive? You just like, disappeared.
Oh yeah, an Madamluna? If you're reading this.. You were the strangest thing to a 15 year old Finnish boy. Now that I understand people like you a little better you're no issue, but still. Thank you for desensitizing me to the whole "deviantart subculture". I have a feeling I might have had a much bigger issue with it if it wasn't for people like you and Momodriller.
And all the rest: Thanks for stuff, I guess.
I'll go and download all his games again.
