Wow. I blogged every day for 30 days. I don’t think I’ve done that since 2004, if I’ve ever done it. I need another challenge to keep this up. And maybe something that will excite my non pop music obsessed readers, like my mom. The 30 Photo Challenge is a possibility…

Anyway, around this time last year I was listening to Lightspeed Champion’s Life Is Sweet! Nice to Meet You, which my brother and sister-in-law gave me for my birthday. If I remember correctly, I was listening to it over and over by this point. It’s so. Fucking. Good. “Marlene” is one of the best tracks, which is saying something, since they’re all pretty great. It’s epic, it’s catchy, it’s edgy, it’s awesome.
