sweet cannon flowers
a Hollywood set
on a comet

and the great drops
i too in the pallor

let the smell duel
if a rat's hair stands

our team would win in
witness ur-lawn walrussen, Tiw

i too in the pallor

150 albums by women. Great list, i guess i might quibble which album for some (Homogenic by Bjork, Ray of Light by Madonna, Lion & the Cobra by Sinead, Boys for Pele by Tori Amos); i do miss Melanie Safka, Brandi Carlile, Case/Lang/Veirs, Mazzy Star, & Loreena McKennitt.
