As 2014 comes to a close, I have been thinking about the past year of music I have picked up and the idea of "The 52 Project" began taking shape. As many of my friends and family know, I am a huge music fanatic and I am always looking for records to add to my collection whether it is vinyl, CD, or even the occasional digital download.
My self-proposition for 2015 and "The 52 Project" is to limit myself to one new album per week. I will spend the week soaking the album in and throw out a review when the week is done.
I have not quite made my mind up on how to handle a multiple disc release, the occasional digital song, or finding a treasure trove of vinyl on a particular visit to the record shop. I am also not sure I can stick to one album per week. I suppose it depends on the release schedule of the bands I follow as well.
As this 52 week project goes on, I am sure I will figure out how to address these special cases in an effort to stick to the 52 premise. I am up for the challenge and experience.
Please feel free to follow me and read...or ignore and laugh at me.
January 1st is around the corner.
