.:Gotta Drop a Blog in The Corner:.

i was wonding this afternoon while i was listening to some sloan as i was riding the T, "if i were to play all my sloan songs... how many hours would that take?" after starting up my itunes i found that it was a little less than 12 hours. my collection consists of all their full releases, their live albums, "party album", demos, some b-sides, but i don't have all of their "greatest hits" because really... how can you make a "greatest hits" while the band is still going?

anyways... it's just so rare that bands can stay together for so long these days with the same line-up. their first full length release came out in 1993! the peppermint ep came out in 1992, and was recorded in 1991! it's only 2 more years until the 20 year mark. they've been around for almost 2/3rds of my life. so i was thinking about other bands who've also been around awhile and are still going. there are a few that continue to release studio albums fairly consistently, and though some have changed line-ups... some have also been steady. the ones i could think of off the top of my head: 1) rem 2) radiohead 3) the cure 4) u2
