Hey thanks for the Royal Deluxe recommendation! I love it! Just out of curiosity, how did you discover it? I'm a big Tyrone Wells fan and new absolutely nothing about that project!
I think I'm not #1 on yours just because a)I haven't rated nearly as many releases as the top people on your list, and b)I haven't rated much of the RYM canon that everyone else seems to rate. The fact that I'm on your compatibility list at all really says something because I haven't found ANYONE else on RYM besides you that has me on their compatibility list.
I'm also loving the Kills record. I think you should also check out an album by Zachary Kibbee called Songs From the Mud. I just discovered it recently. He seems to be very under the radar and not very well known, but I am loving this record. Has got kind of a Black Keys vibe to it.
It's crazy to me how often I listen to an album and when I go to rate it, you've already rated it. Even crazier when you and I are the only two people that have rated it on this site, lol. Musically I think you and I are pretty much the exact same person, haha.
I remember turntable looking like that, 1st time i met vodka. nice.
