There are 365 days in 2009. By 11:59 PM on December 31st, I will have listened to 365 albums as part of this project (Obviously I’ll have listened to more than that, but 365 will count for this). If you missed a day or are coming late and want to see what I’ve done so far, check below. This page will be updated definitely weekly (daily if I feel ambitious) with links to each post.
