I love music. I’m talking LOVE here. Like “L” is for the way … so when I found out Dolores O’Riordan was coming out with a solo album, I was stoked. I immediately jumped on Amazon to pre-order and await the arrival of my new disc. And then I started this challenge. I couldn’t very well purchase something that was going to require an Amazon box to ship it in plus the packaging. And then of course there’s the CD’s packaging and the CD is made of plastic.
