New Years Resolution .......

I feel lucky that I always, well, 99.9% of the time, listen to the whole album (lp)

+1  Even streaming I listen to the whole album.  My take on it has always been, that the artist made and sequenced the album that way and I should listen that way...

mofimadness: "My take on it has always been, that the artist made and sequenced the album that way and I should listen that way..."

     As far as I'm concerned, it should be a felony offense to listen to an artist's album out of exact sequential order!  I mean really now, people, these artist types are very sensitive souls and it's just down right rude and thoughtlessly catty not to behold any artists work in the order they created it.

     C'mon now everybody! Have we as a society degenerated to the point that we no longer have the proverbial and collective stick up our backsides? 
     That's right, shove it back up there and THINK!!    
     Would anyone even contemplate for a moment to gaze upon a fine painting in any manner other than the exact order the artist painted it?
     How about beholding a sculpture out of the order the artist sculpted it?
     A book out of the order the artist wrote it?  ooh, uh-oh, hmm, well, let's just scratch this last book one, bad example.

     Really now, let's get real!  How can a society go wrong being excessively anal retentive and repressed, right?

About twenty years ago I thought it would be funny to press a CD such that it would play halfway through and stop, at which time the listener would have to instruct the player to play the second half. An imitation of getting up to flip an LP over. And at the end of the "first side" of the CD, the sound of a stylus scraping on a paper LP label would be heard ;-) .

Nobody gets up to flip the record at the symphony 

my resolutions in no particular order:

surf more, where the waves and sharks ain’t virtual 
read more
do more for the local food bank
argue less on Agon in particular
cellar more, drink the same
add another pro bono consulting client
breathe
love
immerse myself in music
