Back in the early days of Backseat Ballads & Movie (Favourites) Night, @lawthority set himself a musical challenge. Each week he would ask one of us to suggest him an album from our favourite artists and write a review on his Tumblr account. I think as you get older it becomes much easier to get stuck within your musical taste or simply listen to the same playlists on Spotify and find yourself getting bored with it. Last year I began doing deep dive into the discography of some artists that I’ve been meaning to check out but never got around to (or so I tell myself). This time round I decided to set myself a new challenge: 1 album per day for a whole month. Although I tried to focus on new artists/albums that I’ve never listened to, I also thought it was worthwhile re-listening to some albums that I had mixed feelings about to see if my opinion has changed. There’s so much music out there and I feel it’s a disservice to myself to not broaden my musical taste. Even if I didn’t enjoy the album or the genre is not too my taste, I’ve generally found there’ll be at least one track on each album that I’ll end up liking. My rationale these days is simple: if I’m willing to buy this on vinyl then chances are I like it. #backseatballads (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqhlom7vshv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
