It really seemed like 2016 wanted nothing better than to kill off many of my musical heros. It was brutal. With that in mind, I decided to make a New Year's resolution for the first time in just about forever. My resolution was to write more and to listen to more music. Coincidently, I was listening to a playlist I had made, thinking I should listen to this whole album or that whole album. That's when I decided to combine the two: I will listen to an album that I've neglected for a while and then write down my thoughts and memories about it. (Ablum covers depicted may or may not show up in the reviews).

Once upon a time I would listen to a whole album with no impatience whatsoever. Usually hidden in the album somewhere beyond the single(s) I would find my favorite song. Now with the advent of MP3 players and iPods I find myself listening to playlists on shuffle. No longer full albums but favorite tracks jumping from one to another. It's not altogether bad, I make the playlists full of good songs after all. It's just like a mixtape. But it's hard to go back from that, to regain the patience to sit through every song and not skip to a track I know that I like. That's part of what this blog is intended for me to do: get back to listening to the whole album (in order).
