Forgive the chain-lettery nature of this, but I wanted to post it here because it actually means something to me. My best friend Doug and I have known each other for most of our childhoods and a BIG part of our friendship has always been going to shows, listening to music, and talking about super nerdy things in a level of depth that is usually reserved only for the people you're related to. So, when talking on the phone during this world on fire pandemic we're currently living through, something clicked in me that this idea he presented was something really important to me and him beyond just a stupid viral meme. So here's the start of my 10 days, 10 albums list:
