Yesterday I bought the Lemon of Pink album by The Books. Today I took it with me on my daily bike-ride going downtown. I was blown away. This is like nothing I've heard before. I am amazed by the amount of work these guys must have put into this. Eveything is so perfect and the sound is as warm as today's weather. I hear so much joy and love of life in these songs. I am extremely happy right no...
When I first got the album "Lost and Safe" by The Books several months ago, I didn't really care for it. It just didn't click with me.But in the past month or so I picked it back up and have been enjoying it quite a lot.

For the past year I've done my best to tell everyone how great The Books are. My first album by them was "Lemon of Pink". I didn't know what hit me. I could not resist. One of my favorite albums. It makes me so happy whenever I give it a spin.I moved on to "Lost and Safe". An equally great album. Last week I went back to an older album. "Thought For Food". So so so good as well. A bit more stra...
