Well, hello again everybody. Welcome to another edition of Album Collage Monthly!
That's right, folks, it's the first of May already and guess what? It fucking snowed today. I love you, Minnesota, but does it have to be like this? It's May! Come on!
Anyway, it's time for a little bit of instant nostalgia. Before I get to it though, just a quick thanks to everybody who checked out the last couple of shows. If you didn't notice, I got back behind the microphone for Ep. #94 and, while it probably did not improve the show for you, it felt great to add what little personality I have back to the show. Thanks for sticking with it.
Alright, let's get to it. I listened to a tremendous amount of music this month. Here are the 25 albums that got the most spins around Planet New Basset.
(As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, that new Chinchees album has 11 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as eleven "plays." As usual, all stats come from my Last.FM page. Give it a follow if you really want to stay up on what's getting the most plays.)
01. The Chinchees - The Chinchees (79 plays)
02. Craig Finn - We All Want The Same Things (70 plays)
