2022.March.Albums
I changed the source playlist I'm using to look for albums to listen to, to Rolling Stone's 100 Best Albums of All-Time. After I run thru anything that seems interesting, I'll continue to branch out some more. It's been a fun thing to do as I engym.
I had Covid so I went nearly two weeks without listening to anything, which should give some sense of how quickly I'm moving thru these albums – spending a lot of time at the gym.
The last couple days, post-Covid, I just listened to podcasts as I returned to the gym – this is really just a couple weeks. I didn't have the energy or the oomph to listen to music, so I refrained.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is by far the year's MVP so far. It's just a tremendous album. Dude may be having a years-long, very-public mental-health crisis, and he may be a Class-A Asshole, but he's also a brilliant musician.
