Item No. 142

Continuing on with my 2009 in review, a couple of albums I really loved, neither of which was actually released in 2008.

A Good Day, Priscilla Ahn
Priscilla has an amazing voice, and I listened to this album countless times. Call it chick music, I don’t care, I love it. “Red Cape,” “Dream,” and “I Don’t Think So” are all wonderful tracks from her. Make sure to check out her blogotheque session too.

Re-Arrange Us, Mates of State
I was not a fan of their 2003 album Team Boo, and so I sort of wrote them off for a while. I came across Re-Arrange Us on Amazon and listened to a few tracks though and instantly loved their new sound. This album is infinitely fun.

About

Eric Lim works as a front-end developer, although he prefers the term "CSS Ninja." But, he also holds a degree in computer science, thus making him a scientist, so "HTML Scientist" may be a better term.

In his spare time he surfs the internets, pirates music and movies, pets strange kitties, and makes a big mess when he eats. He also tends to say things that make no sense because he doesn't really listen to himself when he talks.

He currently resides in Costa Mesa, California and spends his time squandering his potential.
