900 Album Update
Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2025 9:47 am
If you've been following along, I'm listening to al the albums in the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before you Die book. I'm now 900 albums and post updates every 100 albums. I think I did MAY have done one of these before thelounj shut down. The website, 1001albumsgenerator.com will generate one new album each weekday by default, so it's taken a few years to get here!
