Well hello again, everybody! Welcome another installment of Album Collage Monthly!
You know what they say about April - in like a frozen tundra of depression, out like a sweaty mess of depression! Nah, I kid. I hope April was good to you. It was pretty good to me. Very big thanks to everybody who stopped by the blog or checked out the show this month. I was able to crank out for new episodes of the podcast and crank out Flatbasset's first ever interview.
(Special Paragraph Break - Exceptionally big thanks to Jeremy Warden of Double Grave for working with me on that interview. Like an idiot I'd been debating reaching out for an interview for a month but my nerves got the best of me. When I finally did reach out we had to work it out on a super tight deadline and Jeremy definitely went above and beyond in finding time to answer my questions. Definitely appreciated. Go get their new EP. It's flame emoji.)
Alright, back to this thing.
As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, the new Niiice. album has 10 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as ten "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. Mitchell Adam Johnson - Marigold (70 plays)
02. Niiice. - Try To Stay Positive (70 plays)
