@Marth: Dude!! Have you been spying on me again? Except I'd replace "Supertramp" with "The Alan Parsons Project." Awesome list.

@Michaelangelo Matos: HOLY CRAP SOMEONE TOOK MY IDEA, DOWN TO THE ... NAME AND EVERYTHING.

Maura can vouch that I thought of this sometime in like, early/mid 2007, but never did anything with the idea. Crap!

As for me? I think I want to try and pare down/digitize my CD collection, put the discs in a box in the closet and start using my CD rack as a ... shoe rack.

Additionally, this post reminded me that I'd already forgotten a resolution -- which is to find some way to start performing again. (Yes, it's true -- your friend Cindy Hotpoint is a classically-trained singer.) I've been sidelined too long.

@NeverEnough: "So mom, who was it again who was calling on their way back from the fire?"

@17Vargas17: No one really talks about how to let music go. Thanks to ned for brining this up.

Too kind. Right now I'm thinking of donating it to a spot I used to work at that could make use of it all...

Not sure if this counts as a resolution but I’m trying to make the perfect birth mix. I’m somehow convinced that whatever the first song my kid hears when he/she is born in June will somehow profoundly effect her/his life.

I’m gonna sue Coldplay and Joe Satriani.

Maura what you’re really saying with that “make a music video of my own” resolution is that you want to get into trib vids. Am I reading that correctly?

* Further weeding of my CD & vinyl collections. I cut them in half in '08 and will continue in '09. 11 years in commercial radio and a semi-unhealthy obsession with collecting leads to a lot of shit.

* Echoing others: more quality, less quantity. Finances and space are becoming issues.

* Revisit some genres I was into 4-5 years ago to see how they've evolved, if at all.

@DocStrange: Blur are probably going to play at Coachella. I have the opposite dilemma, although I love all the Graham Coxon era Blur stuff, I also really love "Think Tank". I'm thinking they're probably not going to play "Think Tank" songs though. Although, I'll take anything as long as Graham's there. If they play "Oily Water" I'll be a happy camper.
As for my resolution? Hmm I might try to learn how to correctly pronounce Bon Iver. Or then again...I might continue to not care how I say things.
Also try to cajole Working For A Nuclear Free City to come back to the US this year through flattery.
