As some of you may know I’ve been running a music blog with a few of my good friends who live all over the country for about 2 years now. We recently came together to countdown our Top 50 Albums of 2011. The list is of course exfm compatible so if you have a profile then go ahead and get hearting so you can keep all these great tunes in one place.
Enjoy and happy new year!
