Rain, rain, go away. Don't come back until the summer.

I need to mow my lawn, dammit.

Post Ninety-Four: The Wildhearts

I am completely fascinated by The Wildhearts. I have liked everything I've ever heard from them, and it is compelling me to chase down their albums via eBay and Amazon. Most recently, I picked up Riff After Riff. A truer description has rarely been uttered. Highlights include "Return to Zero" and "Let's Go," but the whole album is just balls-out rock. Great, great stuff. I'm about to pick up a copy of Earth vs. The Wildhearts, which I've heard nothing but great things about.

But, geez, is it a pain in the ass to find their stuff. They're a British band, and just haven't broken over here. God only knows why, but if I had to guess I'd have to say it's because most people's taste in music sucks. Just a hunch. Anyway, their albums aren't found in the local Best Buy. Therefore, I have to pay import prices for all of their stuff.

It's worth it.

Next up: their most recent album, the self-titled Wildhearts. "The Sweetest Song" absolutely kicks ass. Released in April of 2007, I'm behind the curve on this one. It was only released in the U.K., so it looks like this one will be a bit more pricey. But what the hell: I'm hooked.
