Oh well

Ok. Here's what's going on.

Last time I posted I had somewhat ambitiously decided to post my 50 favorite albums. It turns out that that's a bit harder than I first imagined. I have the first ten or so pretty solidly set. After that it gets kind of mushy. I have anywhere from 60-80 albums that could probably slot in after them. And I have no idea what to choose.

To make things a bit worse, I also started listening through some other blogger's 50 favorite albums. I'm on the last 14. God has that been an undertaking. Its been fun though. I'm enjoying it. It's kind of crazy but I've sort of fallen out of a pretty bad musical rut. I haven't been listening to this much new music since I posted on here about my 10 Life Soundtrack songs. That was almost exactly five years ago. On March 31st 2011. So then I was going to do another one of those.

Just to see how much its changed you know? And I have the list. It just feels like missing an opportunity to post it before March 31st. Its too close. And its too cool to have accidentally made a five-year update.

Especially because I thought it would be fun to redo my 50 favorite album list in five years. I can even do the ten song one too.

I've been watching some reviews of albums too lately. And reading some stuff. And I feel totally out of my depth. My opinions on movies are backed up by a pretty hardcore obsession over the last 2-3 years. My music has been kind of haphazard and stagnant for my whole life. And yes, there have been major shifts in that time period, like branching outside of Christian music, and almost exclusively listening to Pop Punk, only to go away from most music completely and now settling on a mixture of indie/alt/punk/rap.

I still know nothing. I like certain albums. I dislike other ones. I don't know why. So when I see people arguing over music and having very strong opinions, I get a little antsy.

Still I'm enjoying this discovery phase. Its weird but I think this is the first time in my life I've returned to an obsession before. Actually that's not true. I did go back to comic books for a bit.

I don't know why I do this to myself. I'm still pretty caught up in the movie thing. Even if I have backed down from the 50-60 movies I month I was doing last year at this time. Thats 100% work schedule though. I'm still watching 15-20 movies a month. I'll take what I can get.

Tonight for instance, I am going to see VVITCH. I'm super excited. This has been on my radar for a good sixish months. I hope it scares the shit out of me. And then I have to write about it on my other blog which is actually my very own website. Which I would link to but I realized I stopped paying Squarespace to host it. Which I'm going to have to do. FUCK.

Ok so now what I meant to explain. The 50 favorite albums post will happen as soon as I can figure it the fuck out. Could be three days or three weeks. The 10 Songs post will probably happen on March 31st. Unless I forget which is a super real possibility.

I still don't know why I'm doing this again. Or if I'm going to keep doing it, but who the fuck cares. No one's reading it anyway amiright?
