I'm fascinated by the idea of Speed Limit. Where can I hear this ?

I posted Youtubes for all of the tracks on Speed Limit 3 on the ITR music thread (except for one); it's a glorious album

CONFESSIONS OF A KNIFE

he carried yellow flowers (DJP), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 20:09 (thirteen years ago) link

ride the dronosaur (jjjusten), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 20:10 (thirteen years ago) link

maybe you could ask a mod to fix it for you

ride the dronosaur (jjjusten), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link

I like to revel in my folly

i was trying to come up with my list of 15 favorite albums but its
impossible

ride the dronosaur (jjjusten), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 20:12 (thirteen years ago) link

oh there were all sorts of arbitrary rules that went into that list (1 album per artist, no overthinking or vetoing) and I basically just stopped when I hit 15 and STILL left some albums off (hi dere Portishead - Dummy, Big Black - Atomizer/Rich Man's Eight Track, Walt Mink - Miss Happiness, Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole, Pet Shop Boys - Actually)

you know i am lazy right

ride the dronosaur (jjjusten), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link

i already hate that list

ride the dronosaur (jjjusten), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 20:40 (thirteen years ago) link

tbf the problem is making a 15 thats non-genre specific - like it weirds me out to have barely any hip hop in there, and basically skip all classic rock

ride the dronosaur (jjjusten), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link

oh also my list is in no order at all, that would be a whole other nightmare

ride the dronosaur (jjjusten), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link

mine was in no order either aside from "order albums came to mind"

he carried yellow flowers (DJP), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 20:46 (thirteen years ago) link

ok the fact that Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables isnt on my list means i am stupid and rong

ride the dronosaur (jjjusten), Thursday, 3 November 2011 19:15 (thirteen years ago) link
