I've worked through a fair bit of my earlier memories in terms of music in earlier posts. These "memories" posts are piling up now so I won't back-reference every one, but the “Memories” tab in Categories on the sidebar will direct you to any older ones you may wish to peruse.

Album Of The Week – September 27, 2021
Sometimes I don't get to things right away in music. Ok, sometimes I don't get to things right away at all. But hey, this is about the music so let's keep on topic. I've often been very guilty of not checking things out in a timely fashion. It is easier than ever to explore unheard …
The Importance Of Being Idle – Will Oasis Ever Reunite?
It's time to wrap up Oasis week here on The Crooked Wanderer. I've enjoyed going through what I have so far, remembering Definitely Maybe and gifting S-Tier status to Don't Look Back In Anger.
