i have been neglecting this blog for a good amount of time because i really did not feel that it was that useful, but i have decided to revisit it for a new purpose. last year (2006) i became a bit more serious in my music listening and created an end of the year list which exhausted most of my december. you see, i hadn't heard nearly as many records as i felt i should have heard to compile a list of such magnitude. so i spent most of my waking hours absorbing the sounds from oh six. altough the list is far from comprehensive it was good enough for me. this year i planned on getting a head start, which i have already been busy at and i plan on using this site to keep track of my listening. i am planning on listening to at least 120 records this year (10 a month) and rating them on a scale of 1.0 to 10.0 in hopes of creating a well rounded end of the year list. expect the first few reviews within the next few days.
