New Years Resolution .......


For the next month I am only going to listen to a full album before I move to the next artist / group . I have literally not listened to a full album in over ten years . Pretty much just hit shuffle on my Sony HapZ1es.

I find that 99% of the time with vinyl I listen to the whole album....with streaming, not so much.  

     Uh-oh!  I've been living every day as if it's my first.

    Woops. I don't want to stop now just because I got it a tiny bit wrong!

    It's really been a lot of fun thus far because there are none of those pesky, party pooping qualifiers like "as long as it's legal", "as long as nobody gets hurt", "as long as it's consensual" and "as long as All the zoo animals aren't let loose", etc.
     Shoot, now that I'm thinking about all the fun things I've been doing, maybe a few qualifiers wouldn't hurt, they might somewhat moderate the downside of living by this motto.

The biggest change the CD made to music listening was the elimination of the two sides of an LP. The songs on one side of an LP were programmed to flow independently of the other side. The CD of course has only one (playing) side, and for that reason a lot of CD's sound too long to me. The exception is the albums by artists good enough to have all grade-A songs, no filler.
