Since I kind of enjoy checking out albums and giving my thoughts on them, like with the album club and the metal album and Bowie album offshoots, I thought it would be nice to give myself some more to do in a similar way.
I use Spotify a lot to explore music these days and I find it super useful, so I've come up an idea that takes advantage of the discoverability on that platform.
I'm simply going to pick random albums by clicking around until I find something with a cool cover/name. Then I'm going to listen to it and write whatever much or little I feel like and give a score out of 10.
Pretty simple.
Sometimes, I might decide to do some classic albums from artists that I'm not really a fan of. God knows there's a ton of albums that I "should" care about, but don't.
Suggestions are fine as well. It's not really the method for album selection that matters.
Taking a cue from Trollheart, I chose to not do make this a journal, so that others can more easily post and tell me what a clueless plebian I am if they feel like it
First album choice
Using the automatically generated "your daily mix" feature on Spotify, I have picked the St. Vincent album
Masseduction as the first album I'll go through. Spotify seems to think that I would appreciate it, so I'll give it a go. I happen to know that it's her latest album, but I can't actually remember what St. Vincent's music sounds like at all. Allthough I strongly suspect she's an electric guitar player. Maybe a bit PJ Harvey-ish? Hmm... no, I guess I'll find out.
