Year of music books

12 in 12. Easy enough - one book, each month.

Last year, a bunch covered music. Not sure, found a groove and kept spinning.

Feeling should get more variety. Aiming for banned books, more women and even fiction or perhaps poetry. Bare minimum - going back to home base is a win.

Letterboxd Effect

Enjoyable for movie fans. However, like all digital platforms - it will always feel incomplete. The intention is there but that connection you get chatting with others, hearing, seeing someone agree/disagree…

Alas, trying to break habit of watching movies and immediately, thinking this one will likely get a (*****) star. Old me would say some movies should get a low rating. Yet, after hearing even bad movies creates jobs, all movies to me deserves at least three out of five.

2025 Jams

Friend shared his top ten songs for 2025. “Not critical, just those songs that connect with us.”

First and second place, almost tied for me. Both instant replay upon first listening. Catchy chorus - some were anthems in last year.

Other songs, jams I enjoyed. Tempted to include two more tracks however they were on deluxe editions, so almost gray area for release date.

Would love to see acts in concert, some went to past shows. Two on the list would be difficult, miss the boat.

Don’t really stream music. No shade, algo, heck even shuffle is disappointing. Word of mouth, DJs on radio, clubs - need your curation.
