August Playlist!!!

What are you listening to?

And we're back...

Holy Shit! Is it August already? When did that happen?

I finally got the full Playlist up and we're only six days into the month! Same format as June, only two albums a day and weekends off. Pffffft!

August will focus in on Classic Rock and new shit. 

2013 is really turning into another pathetic year of crap on top of crap, in terms of the new stuff. I blame the Millennials and the fact that they are stupid jerks, who think they're a lot cooler than they actually are. Posting Gifs you didn't make from dumb TV shows on your Cumblr page all day doesn't make you a taste maker. Or maybe it does, I don't know anymore. 

OK! Here it is!

2013 - The Year Of Music Fun Fact - After I listen to Revolver to wrap up August, I'll have listened to 443 albums this year... so far! 

June Playlist!

After a month off from 2013 - The Year Of Music, I'm back with an all new playlist for June!

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!!!!!
