2009 music review

The blog is back in action.  I started with 2009 review….

Here are the facts on 2009 in music:

  • Currently my 13th favorite year in music (out of 49 years of which I own music)
  • I bought 118 albums (most ever).
  • Average album rating is 3.21 (currently ranks 5th in 2000s) – although higher than 00s average of 3.20
  • I have 1674 songs released in 2009 (again most ever) and have rated 1497 of them (89%)
  • I listened to each song released in 2009 on average 21 minutes – lower than average of the 2000s (25 minutes), but higher than my overall average of 19 minutes
  • I listened to each song on average 6 times.

Purpose and Beginning

With a few hours of free time this holiday season, I am going to play around with a wordpress blog.    If it is easy to do and I enjoy it, I may do more posts.   Content will be mostly music, may also post some theater and film stuff here.

I think the principle purpose is to document my current thoughts on the arts I follow.   Art appreciation is a point in time perspective, and I have found it interesting to look back in time and review my thoughts and tastes at that time.

If a few of you also find it interesting that is definite plus.
