Listing Stuff Part One

Well, I have not been a really active blogger for a while, but with the end of the school year upon me, time has been lacking. I have acquired quite a few new albums, the most recent of which, being, of course, Ray Davies's Return To Waterloo and his Kinks Choral Collections (which I ordered especially from England because I did not feel like waiting for the August North-American release), but I promise I have also bought a few different things, from John Martyn to Tom Waits. Wait... that's not that far off, now is it?

In any case, with the summer holiday creeping up on me, and the recent news that I will be rellocated at work closer to home, I should be able to blog quite a lot more.

So I thought I should directly to the good old lists with the moment I have now. Everybody loves a list, making them, reading them, then bitching about them, so here's some of mine, starting with my current top 30 artists.

1. The Kinks (+ Ray Davies solo)
