2021 Spins

As I’ve done for the past two years, I’m gonna use this page to chronicle every new release I listen to in 2021 – complete with a handy rating from 1 to 10. I’ll update this page every other week or so. If you think there’s a release missing from the list that I should check out, give me a yell and I’ll smack it on the backburner!

Last update: Tuesday June 29th, 2021.
