So, normally I don’t look at other lists of people’s favorite records because I don’t want to be influenced, but inevitably I glance at some afterward and notice that I left shit off my list. Oh well. Ian told me about that Agalloch album, Marrow Of The Spirit and I thought it was good. The great, high-energy Milwaukee band Call Me Lightning put out a really good album this year too, When I Am Gone My Blood Will Be Free. Red Sparowes’ The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer, Neil Young’s Le Noise and Samsara Blues Experiment’s Long Distance Trip were also good. So, take that. I came up with 105 good records from 2010.
Congratulations Holly on winning Swan Fungus’ Rookie of the Year Award for 2010. You, Hornet Montana, Joe/IcyBlue86, Sue and Amelia should all contact me so I can send you prizes. Good luck in 2011, newbies.

Prize for quadruple runner-up? I’m all in.

Thank GOD for Holly.
Thou knowest where I live…which is a rather dangerous state of affairs.

You like me, you really, really like me ….
or is this a nefarious scheme ending in my public humiliation?
Either way I’m excited. Thanks, guys!
Hornet – I do not know where you live, but if I ever find out & if I’m ever in the area, I’ll buy you a drink & make you a nice dinner. I just taught myself how to shuck oysters and I have almost 2 whole hands left!
Lucky Blogmeister Evan – you have my e-mail.

Holly, as far as knowledge of my geographic propinquity, I was referring to Evan.
For this grievous misunderstanding, I now owe you a drink and shucked oysters, as is the custom in my homeland. I shuck oysters all day, and often dwell fondly on the memory of my second hand.
You do not know where I live. But a part of me can be found very easily, but you are not easy to locate.

By the way…you’re all 21 years old, right? I don’t want to get arrested for giving alcohol to any minors.

I divulge nothing about myself, I am 31.

Usually people with incredible shrinking tits are of legal age. Women, anyway. Men are more prone to incredible growing tits… I’ll stop now before my scary mental images really take shape. Has anyone else every been TOTALLY freaked out by George R.R. Martin’s “The Pear-Shaped Man” ?
Hornet! Oysters!

And Le Noise is spectacular! I don’t see Neil feeling compelled to perform any of his “classic” albums in its entirety anytime soon. Yes, Iggy, that’s a dig at you. And Keith, where are you?
‘?’ is the new ‘:-)’

Tried reading the first Martin book in that fantasy series of his, but found him to be too naughty for one so big titted.
