Default A Quest for Diversity
Although I try to get a bunch of new music all the time, I find the music I'm getting is always from English speaking countries. So I realize that I'm limiting myself and I'm prepared to change that. This project will list most of the countries of the world (if not all, I haven't checked the list really), and I will chronicle my attempt to listen to at least one album from every country on the list and review an album for every country (which might get unrealistic when I try the really small countries). I am even going to do one for countries I've heard music from already.

This will take a while

If you need any help with South Africa (English, Afrikaans or any of the other local languages, give me a shout) and possibly Lesotho/Swaziland/Botswana.

I don't think finding an album by a South African atist would be hard, but for other African artists I might need your help.

I can help out with almost every Asian country if necessary. This will be very interesting.
