Howdy,
Leslie’s post about listening to albums all the way through got me thinking about the experience of albums. I like to consider myself quite a music buff but the experience of an album is something I haven’t thought too much about before. I’ve always been more focused on the experience of a playlist and curating the perfect mix. But an album is pretty much just a mix that the artist themself curated. So I decided to make a list of albums that I know a few songs off of but haven’t listened to the entire thing all the way through in order and I’m working my way through them. So far I’ve done Heard It In A Past Life by Maggie Rogers, Wasteland, Baby! by Hozier, Hive Mind by The Internet, Assume Form by James Blake, and Vampire Weekend by Vampire Weekend. There are, of course, a bunch of albums that I have already listened to all the way through but those are the ones that I’ve completed since beginning this mission. My list includes some classics, like the White Album by the Beatles, and some more contemporary ones that I’ve been meaning to listen to but just haven’t gotten a chance, like Be The Cowboy by Mitski. I’m excited to have so much music to listen to because I find myself getting stuck in ruts occasionally but this will tide me over for quite a while. If anyone has suggestions of what to add to the list, send them my way!
Respectfully,
Maya
