Decided I'm going to start playing albums from my favourite and not so favourite artists in chronological order. Won't necessarily be the same artists each day. Here's the day 1 playlist

This year I listened to Bruce more than any other artist by an order of magnitude. This obviously doesn't include the "unofficial" releases I played.

I missed just about every Grand Prix from mid 2005 to mid 2008 due to #F1 going behind a paywall here. Now going to start watching all four seasons.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.
I see it was released on my 10th birthday. The only movie I have ever watched twice on the big screen (both on it's original release).

Let's see you at 21.
I may have still been 20 here but it was taken in 1991, the year of my 21st.

Always remember this picture from the year end Autocar review of the 1981 season (which 11 year old me read cover to cover 18,000 times before the start of the 82 season). You never see pictures like this any longer. Everyone's too guarded.

I had a 1989 Toyota Conquest 16 Valve Sport from 1994-99. I loved that car. I'd wash and polish it multiple times a week. It was such a fun car to drive and I think looked cool too. Nowadays Toyotas are pretty uninspiring and here they seem way overpriced.

I disagree. I once had a t-shirt very similar to this. Many years ago.
