The 31 Days Of Rocktober (2011 List)
I started Rocktober because October is my favorite month and because my bTunes posts are how I practice writing with brevity. There was no plan when it began, but I soon decided to roll 31 straight days. It’s been a useful writing exercise, and while I realize it’s off The Basis Point’s mortgage and housing theme, I hope it was entertaining.
Below are all 31 picks for your listening pleasure. I’ll keep rolling with regular bTunes picks from here out, and half my Rocktober series is already built for next year! Stay tuned.
