Reluctant Ambition

You may be astonished to learn that I am not always the straightlaced, button down wearing go-getter whose image I certainly project.*  Sometimes I get distracted from homework because of the toys (ex:  Yo Gabba Gabba) in my room, and sometimes, very occasionally, I watch television.  How could I stay away from a show titled "Killing for a Living?"**

In order to better sustain this beloved blog and protect its vitality from my lapses in productivity, I hereby assign myself a sort-of-project.  In addition to weekly posts on whatever musical thing strikes my fancy, I'll be posting regularly about two or three listening experiences.  These expeditions into music history will be randomly selected from my new book, 1,000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die.  If all goes well and dilligence prevails, this should be a fun way to, sigh, better myself. 

Wish me luck, or do me one better and cut my cable connection.

* I hope this is correctly interpreted as somewhat sarcastic.
**Don't get too excited; it's about lizards and tigers and other bitey creatures.
