"the thin man" appreciation post.
The Thin Man (1934) is the film adaption of a novel by Dashiell Hammett. I haven't read the book (shame, I know) but absolutely love the film.
it has been a very long time.
I can't believe I let 3 months pass by without posting anything. I had initially decided I'd wait til I was ready to do the next album recap post before posting anything else, but it just fell by the wayside after a couple of weeks.
top 50 albums recap: 40 through 31.
Another 10 down, and nearly halfway through the list! This round was a bit like the last; some very good, some not very good.
top 50 albums recap: 50 through 41.
I finished the first 10 albums today so it's time to recap how it went.
a new album listening challenge.
A few months back I had tried to listen to the top 500 albums according to Rolling Stone magazine back in 2005. I started off strong but as soon as I hit country records, it all fell apart and I called it quits.
time flies whether you're having fun or not.
It's already nearing mid-July and I have no idea where the first couple of weeks of the summer have gone.
a listening challenge.
Last.FM's reporting started fresh today for the next week, so I decided that instead of just listening to playlists or stations tied to songs, I am only going to listen to complete albums for the next week.
satellite radio changed me.
I recently got a new car and have a free trial of Sirius XM for a couple months. I hadn't had it since May and in the 3 months without it I forgot how integral it has been to me discovering music.
