End Of The Year Lists
Since I’ve been unemployed and poor this year I haven’t had a chance to hear or purchase as much music as usual. I used to spend so much time in record stores, either working or shopping, that I heard or was aware of tons of albums released every year. I used to make a top twenty list with mix-tapes for my friends for Christmas, but alas, I wasn’t on top of the new releases all year. So, here you have it, very limited lists of the music that I was aware of this year (all are in alphabetical order).
