Any reason to buy some Lizzy is a good one, but ain't ye sweet for giving a home to lonely orphaned cd's!
(hopes "orphan" reference in relation to Liz was not lost on ye, Ms. SMART )

I love DALIT! I featured them over at XDA some time ago - good schtuff!

I don't even bother to post my acquisitions anymore...I buy SO MUCH and it's been SO LONG since I kept track. You know it's sad when you find stuff in your collection and have NO memory of buying it.

I feel the same way...they're even from my home state! The first time I heard them was when I saw them in concert last summer. I went to the show for the opening acts (Graveyard & The Sword). They put on a GREAT performance...their drummer (who plays on the new Wino solo album) is a MONSTER!

No shit, eh? Geez...I remember them being mentioned at various times, but it just never clicked for some reason. I guess sometimes it's just being in the right place and hearing them at the right time. Glad I finally got em though, because they are rockin' my world reeeeeeeeeeeeeeel good right now!
