[Recent Twitter comment: "he dropped a flawless debut album, got 4 grammy noms & then he just disappears for 9 years. I think we'd just like an answer"]

[Edit. A better comment, this one from the Globe & Mail:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/music/crystal-ball-gazing-which-musicians-will-be-noteworthy-in-2012/article2287409/?from=sec434

"What we need: signs of life from Remy Shand. 2012 will mark the 10th anniversary of Shand’s debut album, The Way I Feel, which sold like crazy, got four Grammy nominations and made Winnipeg a new home of sweet-and-steamy soul music. Within a year, Shand had dropped from sight, with a wave of the hand and a promise for a new album soon. Ten years later, it’s time we sent a search party after this dude, with dogs."]

Nice post, Listyguy. A few I already have, a few new ones to add to my calendar!

A couple discrepancies on my end, namely:

October 6 for Automatic for the People
June 16 for OK Computer (I go with the domestic release date)

And I've never been able to find the date for VU & Nico. What is your source? I only ask because the info. in Wikipedia is, in my travels, not something to be trusted solely. I cross-reference with Discogs, MusicBrainz, AllMusic, Rolling Stone, liner notes, official artist/band sites, among others.

Yeah, I was just going with the initial relaese for OK Computer, but either work.

As for Automatic for the People, yeah, it's Oct. 6. My bad.

And with VU & Nico, I got the date from Wikipedia and cross-checked with RYM. Both have it as March 12.
