“Oh, We’re Halfway There!”

It’s been over a year. 

This gem of an idea has transformed into a monolith.

Some weeks, the albums fly by, and there’s a frequent tinge of excitement the moment a new album starts.

Some weeks, I cannot listen to the albums fast enough. I surround myself with housework or dive down the rabbit hole of Facebook and just let the music coast in the background.

There are weeks when the blog comes naturally and an album or a story jumps out at me and compels me to write. Other weeks, I slug about, penning cynical paragraphs that never end up making the final cut; finding myself all too objective in a purely subjective world.

I like the framework of the project and my self-imposed, dictatorial adherence to the rules brings comfort and stability. But then Brand New puts out a new (and potentially final) album and I know I won’t be able to listen to it for at least a couple of months because it begins with the letter “S.”

And if I hit a letter with an excessive amount of albums, my podcast queue grows to a seemingly unconquerable size and my anxiety about not having enough time doubles.  

Despite all this, I know that, when all the letters are completed, and the final album spills into my earbuds, my immediate thought will be, “Okay. What next?”

So let’s see what I’ve accomplished so far. Here are the Top 100 contenders for the letters “A-M.”
