I was kinda hoping I could vote for the Gillian Welch Boots as one album. Don’t know yet how I’d rank them.

Xp I was hoping too as well. Given that they were all recorded in one session to fulfil their publishing contract it makes sense to keep them as one piece, even if they were released as separate albums.

- Can we nominate commercially released mixes as albums?

Must have missed that Lauren put out a new one! Cool! Miss her.

emil.y, have you heard the album that Lauren made to terrorize her friend Jason, "The Tank"? https://musicbrainz.org/artist/e1c29960-14a6-47c3-90b6-1178c1002291

It is the most unbelievable, funny story I've ever heard.

Haha, no, I'd not heard about that! The song titles are something else, though I'm hoping it was all in good fun and not actually too much terrorising.
