I am a huge music fan; a cd junkie that spends over $250 a month on various e-sites & my local record stores (Waterloo/End of an Ear). I always have thought it'd be cool to do album reviews but how to start? or keep up? so I had an idea after reading a review of the Spiritualized's 1997 masterpiece Ladies & gentleman We are floating in space. I thought it would be cool to go back over some of my favorite all-time albums & review not only the music but how it came into my life, what it meant at the time, how the music has aged & any other associations that might come thorough years later. Worthwhile project? We'll see...
Below is an initial list of possible reviews:
