Well, in all honesty I really wanted to write this on a Saturday night, but oh well Tuesday will do. This album was really fun. Not a whole ton of substance behind it, and it was a compilation, so obviously I don't think it should be on this list (This album won the grammy for album of the year, ahhh to live in the 70s). Anyway, listening to the soundtrack got me thinking about all these "greatest" lists. Well actually listening to the album and having a long drawn out argument with Adam over the state of music today. So, i decided i should make a list of my own. I'm actually more intrigued about looking over music from the past decade than I'm interested in proving him wrong. But, whatever the motive, expect that from me in the next few days.
I should explain why I haven't written in a month. A few reasons actually, and the first one is something I talked about in an earlier post. I listen to podcasts now when I run. I used to listen to music, but the problem is that music is not distracting enough for me. It's too easy to notice the end of a track, and well I need all the help I can get excercising without stopping. So, because of that, I don't have the daily time to listen to albums that I had before. Which brings me to my second reason, I want to devote an appropriate amount of time to think about each album. I'd rather not just bang through these, which I'm prone to do on occasion.
So this blog of mine has come to a crossroads. Do I want to update and give up on doing an album with each post, or take the time to really dissect albums? For now I think I'm going to try and do both, that's why they makes this posts with labels on them, right? Anway, it's now 4AM, and my disc of One Tree Hill is finished. Go winter break!
