EXT SRC 29 / Rent Free / 12.11.24

Today I’m doing a bit of an origin story, reflecting on albums that live rent-free in my brain. That’s a weird way of saying I’m making a playlist of my favorite albums, excluding anything before 1997 because if we dig into vinyl this playlist would be 10+ hours long. These are albums that set standards for me and introduced me to new genres and styles. Maybe we share some favorites?
