On the second Friday of each month, Sarah and I select a theme for our weekly playlist. For March's theme, we listened to solo albums, side projects and offshoot bands of various artists that we enjoy. We each featured 12 albums that we played in full - the first batch are mine, the second are hers. You'll also notice a Spotify player at the bottom, which features a song from each album. This is an ongoing playlist that you can follow directly on Spotify. Please put your own lists in the comments below, or interact at the Life On This Planet Facebook or Twitter.
