Project 366 Summary

Blog

I learned about Project 365 from this post by Joe Hribar. By the end of 2019 I decided to give it a shot myself for 2020 – little did I know how difficult of a year it’s going to be. It was also a leap year, so my Project 365

Apparently it’s a thing to create Beatles after Beatles albums. I guess the most famous one must be The Black Album from the Boyhood movie. Recently my brother passed me a link to this video: The Lost Beatles Album of 1971 | Vinyl Rewind. And it’s just wonderful. I
