A big risk because I was worried I&#8217;ll end up with some boy band album that might drive me crazy. Luck was on my side when I picked Blue October&#8217;s &#8220;Foiled&#8221; album and minutes into the first track &#8230; I knew I did (probably) the most correct choice! The album cover didn&#8217;t show the band at all, so I had no idea if it was an album by some young pretty faces who sing corny love songs. Phew. They are a rock band originally from <span class=\"mw-redirect\">Houston,  Texas and there is also a Blue October <\/span>who is a Synthpop\/Pop\/Dance band from the UK. Glad I picked the one from the right country. Hahaha!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I proceeded to pick up their earlier albums and also a double CD live album &#8216;Argue with a tree&#8217;. What&#8217;s my favourite track? I don&#8217;t know. Too many to mention but I love the song &#8216;James&#8217; lots.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"300\" height=\"350\" data=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctoberfan.com\/widget\/widget.swf\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctoberfan.com\/widget\/widget.swf\" \/><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=gOGQm9EKiVw&amp;offerid=146261.299932804&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctoberfan.com\/widget\/images\/linksroll_01.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctober\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctoberfan.com\/widget\/images\/freesong.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctoberfan.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctoberfan.com\/widget\/images\/links_02.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/budurl.com\/r7el\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctoberfan.com\/widget\/images\/links_03.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/blueoctober\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctoberfan.com\/widget\/images\/links_04.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=gOGQm9EKiVw&amp;offerid=146261.299932804&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blueoctoberfan.com\/widget\/images\/links_05.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For now &#8230; I&#8217;ll just have to wait patiently before making a dash to the CD store.
