My Top 5 Favorite Albums of All Time, Circa 2001
JESUS this was supposed to be a brief posting, I’m beginning to think that is an impossible task for me. Anyway, this list is really in no particular order, but I’ll rank them for the sake of hierarchy.

#musicmonday Orgy - "Stitches"
wow.
I don’t know what made me think of this song today, but wow. I’m speechless revisiting it again. Since its #MusicMonday and since Orgy (indirectly) played a big role in getting me into the music business, I think its only fair that I spend some time talking about this band, song, and video.
In 1998, Orgy hit the scene with their cover of the classic & seminal New...
