I stumbled on your blog when I was looking for lyrics to “Cameras in the Sky” and enjoyed your review of the whole album. Then I clicked on your fave albums of 2012 (so far) and decided to look up and listen to “Black Radio” on itunes. Oh, sweet world, what an album. Love it, bought it, thank-you. – op.
