Yeah that was totally a play on Kanye West’s new album “808’s and Heartbreaks” which sadly did not make this years list. I had somewhat of a hard time making this list, as I went through my iTunes and started compiling the “entire list” which I whittled down to the list below I realized that there weren’t too terribly many great albums this year, The first 6 albums or so were a breeze and I easily ranked, but when it came down to the last few they were all pretty mediocre to me. This is my first year with Jiingo, I used to post this list on my personal blog, and in the past I haven’t normally made it a habit to write much about the top 10 albums as they should speak for themselves, but I’ll try to say something brief about each, so here we go… Read more »

Although I rock my iPod in the car with a radio transmitter, when I originally bought the car I was stoked it had a 6 disc in dash changer and a Mach audio system factory installed. Since the iPod boomed soon after I pretty much abandoned the cd player, but I do keep cds in it for when I’m just running a small errand or forget my iPod so I still have some jams.

“My debut is coming soon but you already know what I’m gonna do”
About six months ago I came across an artist named Jon McLaughlin. His album wouldn’t have caught my eye except that it was titled “Indiana” which is my home state. I was curious and just figured it was some artist trying to be cool by singing about a state that he’s probably been to twice in his life. I decided I needed to listen, and to my surprise it was an amazing album, I decided to look this… Read more »
