- Post subject: Shoopadoowop's ULL
|
Hey guys, going to give this ULL thing my best shot. I'm not particularly good at forming long written out opinions on things, and following up some of the excellent ULL's is going to be tough, but I hope this is of some interest anyway to you. One thing I am going to do (in my poor attempt to make this somewhat interesting) is follow a theme for each day. Tonight and tomorrow I'm going to be listening to folk, on Tuesday I'm going to be listening to jazz, Wednesday is for electronic, Thursday for indie, Friday for shoegaze and psychedelic, and Saturday for rock. I've done this so that if you're particularly interested in shoegaze for example, you can tune in on Friday and check out what I've listened to, how I've rated them, and then see who it's recommended for and you might be able to find something good (let's hope). Feel free to recommend me something for those days/categories and I might get to it. I will also be ranking all the albums I listen to this week.
