Hey y'all. I know it hasn't quite been a week, but I've got a pocket of time, and I figured I'd write a bit about how the music project has been going. Since last post, I've listened to 26 albums (including several that I only have one song on) and am working on my 27th right now. I'm averaging solidly under 4 hours a day, which is concerning because it means that this whole project is going to take over a month to complete. But that's fine, because I've actually been finding it a lot easier than I had expected I would. When I like the album that's on the docket, I have a lot of fun listening to it. When I don't love it, I usually am able to put it on the background enough that I can absorb it without getting too bored. Walking from my apartment to campus has been a blessing in this regard.
What it hasn't quite been, though, is as meaningful as that first bit was. I haven't had a moment quite like the moment that I had with "Ambient 1." There have been some fun moments: "Antics" by Vundabar is a really fun album that I always forget about, so it was nice to have a reminder. "I Got Mine," the only track I have off of the Black Keys' "Attack and Release" is a really quality single. "Brother, Sister" by mewithoutYou is one of my favorite albums, and coming back to it in this context made it more meaningful, somehow. But on the whole, I've spent a lot more time not quite focusing on the music than I'd like. It's somewhat of a necessary evil, as I mention above, but I do wish I had more patience.
Overall, not a hugely informative chunk of time, but I am still enjoying myself. And this is also the longest I've ever held myself to a challenge like this, so that's pretty cool.
