I also submitted a proposal for the Minutemen's "Double Nickles" last time around. The album was indeed chosen, but Michael Fournier's proposal was chosen over mine. While I do not know the exact reasons for the choice, but for whatever reasons, they liked his submission better.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-33465726947248831432008-11-26T06:24:00.000-05:002008-11-26T06:24:00.000-05:00where can i buy these books, if i live in brazil? ...where can i buy these books, if i live in brazil? not all of them are at amazon.com... is there an online store u recommend?

The two albums have developed cult status and widespread success, but have achieved different levels of that success in their own unique way. The two albums which I worship at their altar are none other than Chicago's Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I believe a through analysis of these major works would be a great addition to the 33 1/3 collection.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912672169081802608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-78529429770338966302008-11-23T22:34:00.000-05:002008-11-23T22:34:00.000-05:00Here's a question.
