Every day I post a variety of Album Anniversaries, albums that came out on a given day in history. It's kind of like celebrating the birthday of a close friend. Twitter doesn't always give you enough space to talk about the albums. Instead I come here and take a more in-depth look at some of my favorites from the week. I tend to focus on ska, punk, and alternative rock, and a variety of Christian (CCM) music albums. Chickadee painting by my daughter.
