*Drumroll, please*...the final album I chose for my 10x19-inspired challenge is "I'm Wide Awake It's Morning" by Bright Eyes. No, this album is not even close to being 'new'. Yes, I've been listening to it since I was in middle school. B...

Ugh, I love #08 so much. “Bar Chords” by Bahamas is so different from every other album in my 10x19-inspired challenge! This album is lighter in tone and material than many of the others on my list (I guess I tend to prefer moody music?)...
