Okay, without any further ado, the moment you’ve all been waiting for… I’m starting a blog! There are several reasons that I have recently decided to begin this venture. For one, anybody who knows me knows I love music. The more I can listen to, interpret, talk, think, and write about it, the better. Also, it’s the start of a new year so why not try something new that I haven’t done before? All right, so here’s the challenge: for the next year I will attempt to listen, evaluate, and review a new album every single day. That’s 365 recordings in any genre, time period, or format. The only requirement is that I have not heard it yet! I know this may seem like a daunting task but I feel that I’m up for the challenge. I considered doing one recording a week, or even two a week for a total of about 100 over the course of the year. After deliberating however, I feel that that just didn’t impose enough of a challenge.* So here goes… 365 days. 365 albums. To the start of a new year and a new adventure!…
* I know, I know, laugh it up! Here I am on the second day of the year to posting the first three entries, already (in the words of Bill Lumbergh) “having to play a little catch-up”…
P.S. This entry was posted while on a plane, somewhere over Colorado.
I'm definitely looking forward to this. Hopefully it'll introduce me to some things I haven't heard as well. Also, I love writing and reading about music, so this'll satisfy the nerd in me.
