At least once a week, maybe more. It'll be easier to make a final year end list when the time comes since I'll be buying a lot more CDs before Jan 1.

Talk about boring. She's OK one song at a time but a whole album would put my in a coma.

from boomkat:

Quote:

For the seventh time, Hiroshi Watanabe aka Kaito and sometimes Tread, sends a friendly smile across the pacific. “Color of feel“ is a wide-wall, less trancey and functional than the previous releases, but more emotional, and certainly much more intense. Comparisons with Manuel Göttschings e2 e4 and respectively Sueno Latino are out of place, and yet there’s a balearic lightness that pervades kaito´s music, which makes it seem unbelievable his music originates in Tokyo’s huge metropolis. If you don´t have a beach in front of the house, then you have to imagine it I guess. The young man on the front cover is the real Kaito, the son of hiroshi. First seen on “everlasting“ as a baby, you can see him growing as his father’s sound builds in stature. Kids, the time is passing so fast...Mighty.

Granted...its at the top of your list. However, that does not make it not boring. (Read: what I say, goes)

You know, I don't know. To me, they sound like any brit-pop band out there right now. Their latest album anyway. It's nothing too exciting.
