Spring albums

2/27/2007 7:27:00 AM

Probably due to my end-of-winter birthday, my year begins in March. It's my favourite time of the year, full of promise and bluster. I always return to the same albums at this time of the year:

The Cult: Love

If I had to find a guitar sound to describe the beginning of spring, it would be Bill Duffy's White Falcon in the beginning of "Big Neon Glitter". All over the place.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood: Pleasuredome

What Trevor Horn does during the first two minutes of this album is still unsurpassed in the intro category.

Pet Shop Boys: Please

"West End Girls" still gives me a longing for London, a long lost friend.
