Also, I don't know why I always seem surprised by Unknown Pleasures so high up on your chart. Though that's a good thing 😁 _________________ I'll be your plastic toy.
Sublime, from beginning to end. Only a man as effortlessly cool as Norman could craft a chart that so delicately balances the heart-stirring with the head-tingling. I know that I could put on any one of these albums now and it would suit my mood. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
Thanks ever so much, you're so kind (including Mercury who left an adorable comment a while back and to whom, in the whole hectic agitaion of late '15, I didn't even answer). Love y'all.
