Also, a task for everyone who reads this: Tell me an album that you consider one of your top ten favs of all time, and I will put it on my list of things to listen to. When I get around to listening to it I'll tell you my thoughts. And I'll try to be kinder than I am in FE Playlist.

Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine

Listening through it now. While it's not my cup of tea, it's not bad. Look at Yourself was probably my favorite on the album, well, at least it was until it sounded like the record got stuck with about 30 seconds left.

I guess I favor the ones with more of a punk/grunge/jazzy type sound to them compared to the slower, more melodic ones.

Congrats on recording an entire album. That takes some serious talent and work.

Really like the Pink Floyd cover.

Also clicked to watch each video on youtube, as I'm not sure if you get credit for the views if I watch the embedded versions.

Oh and here's a strange story: I got a call from a withheld number yesterday from someone who described himself as a filmmaker and photographer, who said he wanted to work with us. He then proceeded to reel off some ideas he had for a music video. Here are the highlights: - His first video idea was to have me underwater playing Chess. Good start. - A video of me standing in a field with explosions going on all around me. "Using a green screen obviously?" I asked. "No," he replied, "I can get some real explosions. You might get a bit messy so let me know if you're okay with that, I don't want to work with anyone who is boring." Ah yes, because as we all know only a total bore would not want to stand in a field while a stranger detonates explosives all around you. - A much calmer idea he had was to have me standing in the sea with all my clothes on, or in a wet suit. This was the closest he came to making a sane suggestion, prompted by me saying I'd like to do something at the beach maybe. - Me getting custard dripped on my head. Sanity didn't stick around for too long... - Me slowly sinking in a paddling pool full of slime (why does this guy keep trying to drown me?) - Him throwing things at me (he wouldn't say what, but he still asked if I'd be okay with that) He kept saying "I bet you're glad I called you aren't you?" "No," I thought. "I'm trying to figure out if you're a prank caller or a serial killer." Never a dull moment in this town...the music bizness attracts so many weirdos.

Do not physically challenge them!
