Nos. 5 and 10 -- 11, at least, aren't overrated. They're that good.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 10 March 2008 00:51 (eighteen years ago)
I am passing no judgement here, there's probably tunes I like on all those labels. It's just that I've always noticed every year or six months the meeja gets excited by the idea of a cool label, they're like little ready made scenes, innit.
