Project 2010

OK, so things have been busy. Not sure how great my updating will be for the next week or three. Here goes nothing:

One of the really interesting things about this project is that some bands just sound a little bit better when you're not listening to an entire 50 minutes of them at a stretch. I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business / The Early November totally fits into this category for me. Every time one of their songs pop up I really like it, yet I seem to be loath to just listen to one of their albums straight though, and as much as I really love The Decembrists, I think I like them more when they just pop up randomly for 3-6 minutes and then go away for a little bit. Today I heard "The Engine Driver" from The Decembrists.



One of the really great things about this project is finding songs that I may have overlooked. For example some songs might be on a Say Anything double album that at some times might be a little bit grating. On the other hand, apparently "Every Man Has A Molly" is somewhere in there. and yes, we all do.

Project 2010: Day 1

I decided to start Project 2010 on the first of the year and I made it through exactly six out of 6,571 songs while laying on my couch cursing New York's horribly late last call. At this rate I should be done around never. Here's what I listened to:

A - Barenaked Ladis
A-OK - Motion City Soundtrack
A-Punk- Vampire Weekend
A0001 - Thursday
The Abduction Of Margaret - The Decemberists
About An Hour Ago - O.A.R

In some of the other posts I'll highlight an artist or a song, but that will be for later. Today, I will just say that it was incredibly weird listening to just one song off of "The Hazards of Love" and then going directly into an O.A.R. song, especially because The Abduction of Margaret goes directly into another song. It was never meant to stand alone. With that I'm off to listen to some more music.
