In the first four months of the year I had listened to 360 albums and wrote about most of them. It was fun and also kind of draining. So, I decided to take May off to recharge the batteries. I had also hoped to write up some of the albums that I didn't have time to, but that didn't happen. I got super lazy. I did write up Douche Bag Day and neatly folded a touching tale of young forbidden love into an Orb album review, but that was about it.
I have decided to switch up the format for 2013 - The Year Of Music for June. Instead of listening to three albums a day, two "classic" albums and a new release, I've cut it to just two a day and weekends off. Each weekday in June will feature one "classic" and one new album.
I think back in April before I decided to shitcan May, I was going to make it "Anything Goes" month, but I've rethought that dumb notion and will not be doing it.
In June, we'll catch up with where we left off in the discography of some of the greats; Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Van Halen, and The Replacements, check out some records I've been meaning to listen to for years; Elton John, The Tubes, Captain Beefheart, and Throbbing Gristle, and there's a lot of new stuff I'm looking forward to hearing. I actually believe that most of the new music isn't going to piss me off as much.
On the subject of me letting music piss me off. I'm going to try and listen to less shit I know I'll hate. For instance, I'm not going to bother with The Mowgli's because I know that if I listen to their album I'll probably die of an embolism or suffer a stroke. Fucking hippies with their pile on choruses sung by a pack of goobers! I'm in love with you shutting up!
PUKE! But, enough about that crap. Please join me for June's Playlist!!!!!
