It's part two of our first installment of the new monthly music-based program on the eduPUNX Podcast - In Between Spins! When we first came to you this week, I was joined by my friends Jaclyn O'Connell, the web marketing director for 6131 Records and a marketing guru for The Brixton Agency , as well as my buddy, Chris Rosonina, a concert photographer and vinyl collector in the Boston-Providence area. We discussed our top ten albums of 2017 - and it was a rip-roaring good time.
We've already shared our 10-4 picks for 2017, and in this episode, you get our top 3! And you'll get to hear tunes from all 9 of those albums!
