The Verve
2 - Urban Hymns and Forth.i don’t usually do this shit.. but it involves talking about my music taste soooo, yes.
Word. But I don’t listen to Last.fm enough to trust the rankings, yet. I had to clear the history because I left a work computer logged in to last.fm and the staff hearted things that I can’t stand.
Wow, that is a variety of music. Now, I need to stop procrastinating and pack so I can go home for the weekend. Computer training for the new job next week.
