kelly's enlightening year-end lists: fave albums
i don’t listen to nearly as many different albums and artists as other folks. when i like something, i go all in. i’m ALL over it. so in the case of albums… i will listen to the same album ad nauseum. and then keep listening. so, it leaves very little time to try something new. it’s gotta grab me very quickly. or someone has to shove it in my face. : )
