So I have decided to relaunch this blog. A while ago in a self obsessive moment of weakness, I compiled a list of important records for each year going back to 1985. Each record for some reason or another is associated with a certain year. Like moving from Amherst to Cambridge and obsessively listening to Tullycraft for about two weeks straight or practicing my Michael Jackson moves in my room with a one ski glove liner on my left hand.
love and records,
david
