It was a lovely sunny day for the Black Caps vs Australia at Eden Park for the first ODI. NZ won by a whisker in one of the closest finishes of all time.
No time for any listening today, so instead, as we near the end of our first month here we thought we'd share what our Top 50 (Maire) and Top 100 (Golf) albums from the 1031 are in January 2017. We'll do this again at the end of the challenge and see what's different...
There are plenty (100s!!) of albums in the list neither of us have heard and some of the new ones will be making their way onto these by the end of the year, we're sure.
