Anyone here a fan of The Books namely, the Lemon of Pink?
When I first got the album in 2002 I thought it was about a trip to Japan, and I had never been here, but I thought it would enhance the experience so I promised myself I'd be listening to The Lemon of Pink the first time I land in Japan. Since I first got here I haven't had the courage to actually listen to it because I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my expectations and that it'd sour my memory of an album I love with all my heart.
Anyway today I mustered up the courage, rebought it on iTunes and put it on. For 40 minutes I was nearly breathless. It's so brilliant, and a perfect fit for the Japanese atmosphere.
Anyway, /livejournal done here. Go listen if you never have (the whole album not just one or two songs, it's one cohesive whole moreso than the average record).
Bale to Real would be shitty. Hope he stays at Spurs through his prime.
