So many returns from silence and so much to take in…. Thanks for this thread TMR…………………………….http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2014_albums
Excited to check out these recommendations!
fair play Mr Swank, your next challenge is to get Sleaford Mods to record a live record at TMR.
Back from the Grave compilations are so good.
Mr Swank, as a Nottingham chap (AND originally from Grantham), it is great to see you have noticed Sleaford Mods! Under The Skin s/t, with you all the way..
Any possibility of a list from Jack?
KLUDGE!
RUN THE JEWELS 2 FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR
