What does VPN mean, other than Virtual Private Network?
Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 - Round 2.4
Precisely that- can't you use a VPN to change your IP location and thus access Bleu Pétrole on YouTube or Spotify? It's available on all UK streaming services for instance. Turbo VPN's been useful for me in the past but there's plenty of others.

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 - Round 2.4
I see a lot of support around here for Basket of Light, against expected tournament winner El Camino. Is it a conscious attempt to get that one out of the running? In a way I kind of want to contribute to that, as I feel El Camino would be the third obvious and uninteresting tournament winner in a row, plus Basket of Light is great. Still, my heart tells me that I love El Camino, so I stick with it regardless.
It's not the best album of the week, though. Post Pop Depression has really grown on me. What possessed Iggy Pop to make such a cool sounding record at that age? Sadly, it looks like it isn't going to make round three here.

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 - Round 2.4
And a lot of poll predictions died today.
Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 - Round 2.4
lol, in the grand scheme of things the bracket prediction is fairly worthless. Though I'm always amazed at how much effort is spent by members on these forums predicting results of polls conducted by... forum members!

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 - Round 2.4
The poll is just a bit of fun on the side for me, but not one I attach any importance to. I mean, I fill it in while I haven't heard many of them.
Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 - Round 2.4
Bravo Bashung, voix préférée à Nantes ! Moi, je préfère Industrial Silence, mais Bleu Pétrole a mérité sa réussite quand même.
