I'm issuing myself with a personal challenge of listening to 250 brand new albums during 2009. I want to hit 250 new musical experiences before the bomb drops and 2010 rolls around!
Back in the day this wouldn't have been much of a challenge, but my finger fell firmly off of the musical pulse in 2008, so I want to sort that out and reacquire my pretentiousness again.
Items will appear with newest albums at the top, oldest at the bottom. If you've seen my collections and want to recommend an item, go ahead, I'll give it a whirl.
If I could I recommend you Ladytron - Velocifero: one of my favourites of last year
It's always in the media player after that too, I'm not adverse to going back and changing them.
I'll give you some lesser known recommendations for the 'challenge' but I don't mind if you won't accept these.
