Following in the footsteps of 1,001 Books You Must Read Before You Die and posts like this, this and this from my friend over @ Don’stuff (to whom I still owe a meme response, to which I hope to get by the end of the week), I bring you 1,000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die.
More accurately, NPR reviewer and music journalist Tom Moon (M-O-O-N) brings you 1,000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die, which I discovered this morning from an article I received through an NPR e-mail. I then found Moon’s website, where you also can buy the book (only if you want, no strong-arm tactics here, I’m just letting you know where you can find it).
I’ll be honest that I haven’t had time to explore yet, but I look forward to doing so– probably this weekend. He not only has the “typical” American artists, but also in true NPR style branches out to all parts of the globe with music from all over the world.
Thanks for the link. It’s interesting.
