I sure hope so, because after organizing books, photos, documents, files, videos, and musical recordings -- and other "stuff" -- at home during the holidays, I had a flash idea last night to start this blog.
It occurs to me that I own around 300-some recordings, mostly music, mostly on CD but also a few on vinyl and cassette tape, plus several digital versions. I don't know if I own exactly 365 recorded albums, but I'll find out after this project is complete.
I decided since I listen to music anyway, 2015 will be the year I listen to one album a day and report on it daily. The report will include a basic description of the recording (e.g. title, artist, songs/compositions, year, label, etc.) along with my random and not-so-random observations with any lessons learned, plus any context such as history and culture, and maybe a few other random comments about the technology or quality of the recording.
Not unrelated, this project also dovetails with my goal of striving to be a better listener.
With that, here goes! And as they say...stay tuned.
