I love music, and I listen to a lot of it every day.  However, I realized that last year I didn’t really devote much time to finding new music.  I spent a lot of time listening to old releases or focusing specifically on a narrow range of sounds.  In order to fix this in 2019, I’ve issued myself a challenge:  listen to 800 albums before the end of the year.  These can be new releases or old releases that I’ve never heard.  There are also a lot of records that I listened to when I was younger that I either don’t remember very well or might appreciate more now.  Those are fine, too.  800 sounds like a lot of albums to listen to in one year, but I’m ready for the task and very motivated.  I got a bit of a late start, due to the busy holiday, but officially got started on January 8th.  I will be tracking all of my progress via Instagram.  Wish me luck!
