This is the 3rd and final part in a series about 15 Albums That Changed My Life. This list originally came from a Facebook post where one of your friends would tag you and you’d have to chime in. Here was the original “question” that was posed: “Think of 15 albums that had such a profound effect on you that they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in … Continue reading
I don’t buy much music these days, and the instances of me buying a full album are even fewer and further between. However, when Jackopierce comes out with a new album I make an exception every time. This album – Everywhere All The Time – was long delayed and highly anticipated and I’m happy to say that it didn’t disappoint.

They recorded 6 albums including my favorite Live From The Americas before going their separate ways in 1998. Pip … Continue reading
