32) "The Mid-Morning Recording"       Klaxons-'Myths of the Near Future'
Orlando's favorite album of 2007. I do like it as well, but not as much as he does. It's certainly a good album with lots of layers and sounds, and Orly played the hell out of this album throughout 2007. Eventually, the songs crept into my mind and body. Strangely enough though, the first I ever heard of this band was from the Inspiral Carpets. I didn't really like them that much until I saw video of them performing live. Then I realized why the Inspirals dug them so much. I hope 2008 brings Klaxons down to Texas. As of now, they have never played here, and that needs to change. "Light touched my hands in a dream of golden skans. From now on, you can forget all future plans".
