so you might have noticed some new formatting of my album of the day posts.

i just want to say first off that im surprised ive been doing this gimmick for just about three years now. i never expected to be doing this for this long. i started doing so as a means to actually sit down and listen to new music. i also primarily listen to full albums, hence why i do "album of the day" over song of the day

honestly ive done a beyond poor job of keeping track of what has becone aotd. with nosearch put on my pfp im unsure what has or hasnt made aotd. at best i make a mental note of it, but memories are hazy. i also definately had a few albums become aotd twice because of this (discovery was probably one of these)

@erin gave me some constructive feedback saying i should do something to keep track and i started using the #aotd hashtag as a stopgap. also a couple ppl on mastodon seemed to convergently come up with this same gimmick, but ive been doing it longer.

i really should use something like lastfm but i only really listen to full albums

also it's about the 3 year anniversary of me doing this gimmick. i've used it primarily to try and venture into diversifying my taste in music. shoutout to anyone who regularly posts their music taste on the TL, i often bookmark said posts for later.

A late day post for a late discovered band. Not sure how I’ve missed Fair to Midland all this time but they’ve been on heavy rotation since I found them last week.

Revisiting this album from last year. Was originally on the fence with it but today it’s kind of exactly what I was looking for.

Album Of The Day: Stevie Wonder *Innervisions* US Tamla 1973

https://www.discogs.com/release/9168672-Stevie-Wonder-Innervisions

Stevie Wonder is one artist that weaved through many of things I picked up this year, from Melissa Manchester to Young Gun Silver Fox. (Michael MacDonald being the other one.) Found in the wild in great condition for a reasonable price.

This is the final AotD for this year. Thank you for coming along.
