I’ve been pretty strict with myself on this list. Pushing myself to listen to all of everything even if it’s really not my thing. I got five tracks through this and, seeing how many more there were to go, realised that ultimately life was too short. I listened to it while stuck in a traffic jam on the M6, which at least afforded me time to daydream about other things I could be doing. Like having my wisdom tooth removed or being kicked repeatedly in the knackers.
