i must apologise for dropping the ball on Mid Week Distraction this week, it pained me to do it – but things have been too crazy round here. there are only 7 working days left of the year in my personal calendar, and of course EVERYONE wants their projects finished before people go on leave. not to mention social commitments like seeing family and friends and attending christmas parties (and buying gifts!) and the whole toot. so needless to say i haven’t even glanced over the internet this past week, so there are actually no distractions to be had…
but i have been listening to a lot of music while working away at my desk, especially making an effort to wrap my head around what my personal favourite albums of 2014 were. so, here’s my list!
if you felt like i really missed out on some pearlers, please voice them in the comments. some albums i know got a lot of great press but perhaps i missed out – or just, well, didn’t like ’em. i’ll keep an open mind.
click on the albums to buy them in iTunes or wherever they might be available.
