Considering how long you've been away, this is a bloody amazing entry! One man's developing musical tastes in a single entry! Amazing stuff. If you have no objection I'd like to use this as this weekend's Showcase on the Journals Update Thread. Totally bravo, man! Totally! I pretty much hate/have no interest in ninety percent of the music you wrote about here, but that doesn't matter: a good entry is a good entry regardless of the content. Excellent stuff.
Welcome back!
