Tomorrow is the start of Albumay! What is Albumay, you ask? 

ALBUMS + MAY = ALBUMAY

I will be participating in Albumay and y'all should join me. I'm dusting off my CD binders, my cassette tapes, and my old mp3 hard drives.

Love this. Definitely participating Locked In Mode.

Happy Albumay! Probably starting with a CD today. 

I'm excited about this. I feel like my brain needs some rewiring from how much I will passively listen to music now. This will also be some good cadence for posting in here.

Those photos from the year 2000 are pretty good quality.

To my great shame I haven't listened to a full album every day, but I have been able to sit down with some records I own and gave them a full front to back listen. This is something I try to do often anyways, but appreciate the extra encouragement to do it this month.

So far:
La Dispute, 'Wildlife'
Dayglow, 'Dayglow'
The Japanese House, 'In the End It Always Does'
Sigur Ros, 'ÁTTA'

I like keeping track like that. Added a log thread just to post albumay listens.

Curious how you are listening to each. Always the same medium or platform?

Love that, thanks. 

Trying to vary it, as of right now that's 3 vinyl records and 1 purchased WAV play. My cassette player is so awesomely warbly that it makes everything sound like it's run through a Chase Bliss pedal, so planning on listening to that as I usually do soon. I just need a CD player so I can break out my binder and properly relive the glory days.

I do about 90% of my listening as full albums, and the format varies between my vinyl collection and digital collection.
I had to start a google sheet to suggest what I should listen to next, since that digital collection is just too big.

When yall listen to WAV/MP3, how do you listen?
