this "30 albums in 30 days" challenge was seriously quite a challenge, if you can believe it. after all, i had to dedicate at least one hour per day to sit in front of a computer and be consciously paying attention to listening to music and reading lyrics. this was in addition to the time i already spent working, sleeping, eating, running (or not running, fuck me!), watching the office (yes, seriously), and other leisurlely activities like drinking and making out (or not making out, fuck me!)

however, the purpose of this challenge was to get me familiar with different albums from a variety of artists and i 110% succeeded in that aspect. i personally couldn't ask for anything more than that! this challenge will certainly happen again, i'm just not sure when. i will certainly be asking for more of your recommendations and would, once again, welcome any and all albums of any and all genres.

i will be unveiling a new challenge in the upcoming weeks; one that i am super excited about and one that is very uncharacteristic of me.

ladies and gentleman, i once again thank you for your time and encourage you to continue to follow and support my ridiculousness... :)
