Belated Birthday
So it was my Birthday a couple of days ago (21). As a somewhat belated celebration, the following is a list of albums from each year I've been around, picking my favourite per year (stealing Ashcrash's idea, my apologies mate). Also, got an electric guitar, so that's pretty damn cool. |
| 1 |  | Mount Eerie

Feels weird to call this a 'favourite', as its hard to enjoy in the normal sense of the word. Regardless, its still a low key masterpiece and absolutely harrowing. |
