I'm up to to G now in my alphabetical listening. I'm enjoying it. It does seem to be making me pay attention to music I own but haven't listened to that actively before.
In week one I bathed in nostalgia remembering the loveliness of Roddy Frame's Aztec Camera.
Week two was all about Bing and Biosphere. A surprisingly coherent combination.
Week three combined Carbon Based Lifeforms, Cassetteboy and Chas N Dave. But I loved plunging into the world of Chas Smith.
Week four was all about the D Train.
Week five was more nostalgia - for the gentle times before Everything But The Girl discovered dancing.
And in week six I discovered that Fats Waller was perfect, perfect working music. Forget all that ambient stuff you usually use as a concentration aid. Get Fats in. The organic bounce, simple tunes, happy mood get you powering through the powerpoint.
And now, just now, I've just finished 8 straight hours of Genesis. Awesome.
Anyway.
