The other day I was reading Jake's blog and posting some comments. By the way, it's pretty amusing to see the web of musical influence spreading outward. Maybe it's just my egotism manifesting itself, but it gives me satisfaction when someone I know expands their musical tastes because of my own direct or, in this case, indirect efforts to share the music I love. It's cool to see Jake writing about bands like Built to Spill, Cursive, the Decemberists, etc. Bands we've been listening to since back in the day.
Anyway, I bring this up because I've decided to do something similar to what Jake is doing with his blog. Where he highlights a band's entire discography, I am going to do something different. I've decided to choose anywhere between 1-3 albums by my favorite bands that start with each letter of the alphabet. For example, for the letter 'D' I could choose an album by the Dismemberment Plan, the Decemberists, and Death Cab for Cutie. I'll go through the entire alphabet in however long it might take me. It should be fun and, hopefully, interesting to read. I need to come up with a catchy name for this, but I can't think of anything right now. Lost is on, and I must focus all my energies on the infinite mystery of the show.
