Well good choice with the headphones (I'm going to assume you'll be listening to it on your iPod or something). Um other than that have fun and enjoy the ride. I really hope the hype doesn't kill it for you though, I know I really enjoyed that album, but there are plenty of albums out there that are widely praised by everyone and I'm left thinking that a bowl of mushy peas would have been better.

Another question... how did you find that post? Seriously I got that album like 9 or 10 months ago!

Fela Kuti - Expensive Shit

I know, I should have had this a long time ago. I'm listening right at the moment and it sounds pretty great so far.

Yeah, I listened to it with good headphones and I did really enjoy the album. I'll need to hear it again though because I was a little inebriated on the walk. In fact, my dog tried to bolt after another dog and we both went tumbling - that probably wouldn't have happened if I was sober. This also explains how I found your post - the idea of listening to Cobalt popped into my head because I often get a craving for black metal on hot nights for some reason. Then I remembered your rave reviews/mentions of the album from way back (and your Gin avatar) so I did a search just so I could reference one of your posts about it - another thing that I probably wouldn't have bothered with if I was completely sober.:p:

Lately I'm really digging the way Americans are bending and stretching the definition of Black Metal and Gin is another example of this I guess. I don't think I've heard any metal album that sounds like it - and I can see why it's well loved. I definitely see more Cobalt in my future

this is what it is....seriously

^ f*cking lol.

Teflon Don- Rick Ross...great album, wish he had more songs though

Laughed so damn hard I nearly pi$$ed myself... :rofl::rofl:
