Psst, do you need some cool music to listen to? Or perhaps want to share your thoughts on an album you love?
Dig if you will the 1001 Other Albums project, a collective effort of over 130 Fedizens to create "The List" of over 1001 recommended and often over-looked albums from all genres and more than 115 different places/peoples (https://
1001otheralbums.com/the-list/)! Think "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die", but, like, NOT just Western pop. We chose these albums not because of popularity or influencers or algorithms, but rather because they’re important to us personally as Certified Major Music Nerds™️ and/or represent bands/genres/peoples not given enough love in 'official' lists.
As part of the project, for the last 2.5+ years we've featured an album from The List every few days on the 1001 Other Albums blog (https://
1001otheralbums.com/). These spotlights are written by either guest Fedizen contributors or project steward
@buffyleigh@mas.to, and are automatically cross-posted in full to the Fediverse at
@1001otheralbums.com. New spotlights are also hand-summarized and linked here on linernotes.club. The plan is to eventually look at every album on The List, and so far we’ve spotlit 270 albums! Sometimes we also do some extra fun things like Fedi-wide AOTY lists, fake festivals, and Fedi-sourced oral history posts.
Everything in the 1001 OA project - The List, the spotlights, the summaries, the header images, etc. - is conceived, developed, and constructed using human intelligence only.
Give us a follow here and/or the blog, I bet you'll hear something you dig. And, if you want to share your thoughts on one of the albums not yet featured via guest post, OR want to add your favourite albums that aren't yet on The List, hmu!
