I know, it's only been a week, but since I don't have any excuses for my laziness anymore, I feel guilty. Which means, this is going to be a ridiculously long post with lots of music. I don't have much time, so a few sentences about each albums/songs/whatever should be doing it. Here we go: New Goldfrapp album Seventh Tree - old news, I know. Still, it is awesome. It's nothing like Supernature,

Yesterday was just another day at the office, at least for the most part. Feeling frisky, the desire for new music lingered around in my head.
