On the Road Again

The September Playlist. Almost on schedule. This playlist showcases exactly how I feel about my favourite month- The beginning is hot and sunny, perfect weather to cruise and go on road trips as most of the tourists have headed back to the real world. Then suddenly the leaves begin to change, the sun sets earlier and I continue to seek nature. The end of the month really is the last day of magic. You know they are the final days of true bliss, before the dreaded winter appears. I genuinely love September.

Thyme Warp's Top Albums

This is a list of my top album picks of all time. All of these albums I believe can stand the test of time and I would stand behind either one of them. Every single track on these albums, are a work of art on their own and collectively they create a masterpiece.

Yes there are some odd choices for albums from certain artists like Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles. I could have chosen Rumours, as most people would for Fleetwood Mac's greatest contribution to music, but that album means shit to me as an album. Of course "Dreams" and "Go your own way" can stand on their own, but I don't appreciate the ENTIRE album.

All of the albums I have chosen mean something to me, whether it is sentimental or a reflection of a certain time. They are my picks. Enjoy!
