Showing posts with the label album of the week

AOTW - Week 26; Slipknot - Slipknot

Image
Something I said I would not  listen to....  

AOTW - Week 25; Taylor Swift - Fearless

Image
Running behind again - sorry

AOTW - Week 24; Dolly Parton - Love Is Like A Butterfly

Image
Finally back up-to-date, and back on to some Country music.  

AOTW - Week 23; Florence and the Machine - Lungs

Image
A blast from the past. I remember Dog Days Are Over coming on on the radio on the way home from work one evening, and I was nodding away to it. So time to see what a full album is like.  

AOTW - Week 22; Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D City

Image
Another album from the joys of playing GTA V. There seems to be a couple of songs either his or him featuring whenever I'm the Franklin character.  

AOTW - Week 21; Janet Jackson - Design of a Decade

Image
Another album picked by the other half. Janet Jackson  

AOTW - Week 20; Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Image
Apologies, I've gotten behind on these recently. Week 20 was another Jazz inspired album in the form of Miles Davis  

AOTW - Week 19; Marlena Shaw - The Spice Of Life

Image
Moving from last week's Country & Western music, onto another big genre in 60s America - Soul/Jazz music.

AOTW - Week 18; Tammy Wynette - D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Image
Another late write up, sorry. Well this is another album I've chosen to listen to thanks to playing GTA V again recently :D

AOTW - Week 16; Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Image
We're getting well into my AOTW "project" now, already on Week 16! This week is Lauryn Hill.

AOTW - Week 15; Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Image
This week's album was a suggestion from another one of the lads I play pool with.

AOTW - Week 14; Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire The Best Of Johnny Cash

Image
This is an album I've been meaning to listen to for a few years, but only just got around to it.

AOTW - Week 11; Peter Gabriel - So

Image
Another album based on a suggestion by a forum member. Didn't have a clue what to expect - I have never heard of the guy (AFAIK) and didn't even know what genre he was/is.

AOTW - Week 10; Adam Follett - FAWM 2016

Image
Something different for Week 10 - nothing mainstream. For those who don't know, FAWM stands for February Album Writing Month ( http://fawm.org/ ). Adam is the boyfriend of a friend/ex-colleague of mine, and I've used a track of his in a video I created last year.

AOTW - Week 9; Metallica - Black Album

Image
This weeks album comes as a suggestion from one of my best mates. After a conversation last week whilst playing pool, he suggested this album may be "suitable" for me. So here we are.

AOTW - Week 8; Aurora - All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend

Image
This weeks album comes as a suggestion from DampDog. After my AOTW listening to First Aid Kit, he thought I may enjoy this.

AOTW - Week 7; Britney Spears - Femme Fatale

Image
This weeks album comes as a suggestion from the other half. She loves Britney spears. So I decided I'd give some of her "newer" stuff a try.

AOTW - Week 6; First Aid Kit - Stay Gold

Image
I keep hearing their song "Silver Lining" on the Renault Kajar advert, so that's what made me decide to listen to this is my Album of the Week.

AOTW - Week 5; Adele - 21

Image
Someone I've heard on the radio, and an artist the other half listens too. I thought it was time to see why people go mad for her.

AOTW - Week 4; Ryan Adams - Gold

Image
A late posting for week 4, this time, a Ryan Adams album.
