Happy Wednesday everyone.
I hope your day has been good.
I'd like to share some of my favorite music from 2010.
My musical tastes are not too far off the mainstream, and I'm old enough not to care if my list is "eclectic enough."
I like what I like. This isn't comprehensive or in any order of importance, either.
I reserve the right to amend, add or subtract stuff as time passes and I grow more deaf adept and worse versed.
There are so many new things every year, it becomes increasingly harder for someone (i.e. me) to digest everything. I'm still reliving living my youth, thank you very much.
I've definitely trended towards dance/club recently partly because of the global appeal, and partly because it tends to be high energy, let's get moving, music.
And I've recently begun collecting and listening to Blue Note and the Rudy Van Gelder reissues. Horace Silver. Dexter Gordon. wow. mmmm :)
I attended no live events last year, because that's what sort of year it was for me. It's hard to go to events alone and also maintain sobriety There's also a smoking aspect. Many of the venues in St. Louis still allowed smoking last year in some capacity. I'm doing well in both endeavors, though. I feel confident I won't light up ever again, but the drinking thing definitely could still be tempting. And it's the same "just one" kind of thinking that we all discuss and deal with so frequently here. I used to drink and listen to music non stop, loud, on my days off.
Anyway...2011 and brighter futures and positive changes and positive thinking...
Please don't disparage the list.
This is my list.
You can make your own list.
Please don't disparage anyone else's list or picks.
You can make your own list.
I generally buy my music on CD.
Hence, my list is going to reflect that.
You might only download your music.
You can make your own list.
You might be into LP's. There's been a wonderful resurgence in recent years.
You can make your own list.
You might only watch new music videos.
You can make your own list.
Satellite radio, podcasts, online feeds and streams?
You can make your own list.
I encourage you to share your own picks, however those picks manifest themselves.
All I ask is that it be music from 2010.
