And yes, April 8th will be a special day for me next year. As it is 30 years since Kurt Cobain was found dead. It might be strange, but it’s one of those moments I always remember where I was when I heard it. In my regular bar, drinking beers and not believing what a friend told me what he just had seen on MTV. I quickly sobered up the next morning when I turned on MTV News myself…
Nonetheless, have a great and music-filled 2024 all! See this list on Albumwhale
PS: I love how I can use AI tools to quickly make a list like this! See how I did this in Perplexity.
