I'm gonna buck the trend, but I think the second album by the New Commenters surpassed their first.

@ParUbi: Well, it's been all over the local/state news, but have only seen mention of it in the Guardian otherwise. Not that I was specifically looking for that story though. But 10 in one incident is unusual even for here.

@Dean: don't know him, sorry. I'm always astounded by how little I know, after years of obsessing over music and listening to FMU.

Check him out, @mariano. Here's a good place to start (https://www.discogs.com/Tony-McManus-Ceol-More/master/1343812), but even now I see he has a new album of which I've been unaware.

I don't measure how much I know. It will always be a little.

Mariano, Isn't something? I have spent my life listening to music and I am still woefully deficient of any kind true knowledge of the subject. I will die ignorant and happy, singing a happy song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:52pm
mariano:

Yeah, same here - the bright side is that it's pretty much impossible to run out of music to discover. I don't think that in 20 some-odd years of listening to FMU that I've ever tuned into a show where I haven't discovered something I had no idea existed.
