First Post

This is my little music blog. Unlike my sketch blog here, this is for the music I listen to on my wonderful commute to and from work. Two solid hours of music. I'm going to add a new album daily if I can, maybe two. I'll also add some little commentary here and there about each one.

The whole point of this is to track what albums I listen to as a whole. And to rediscover some long lost gems that i've forgotten about. Seeing that I have over 250 gigs of music and over 3,000 albums to go through I should have enough material. So with that. I start this little journey through the magical world of great music!
