In an attempt to broaden my horizons I will be listening to an album I have never heard before every day for the next 100 days. I thought it would be fun to post some information about the album alongside my personal thoughts on it each day as well. Maybe you can use these threads to discover new music, too. Or if you’re familiar with a day’s album, maybe you can share your thoughts and recommendations.
