- Post subject: Your New Year's music resolutions!
|
Hey BEAers,
I hope you are all enjoying your holidays! 🥳
Have any of you set any music goals/resolutions starting next year?
For example, "get into metal" or "listen to 250 albums" or "listen to more modern music".
If so, please share them below. 😉
You could also use this thread for updates on your progress throughout the year.

For example, I've decided that starting 2013 I will be listening to more recent highly-acclaimed music according to the following criteria:
> ALL 2013 Pitchfork "Best New Albums"
> ALL 2013 Pitchfork "Best New Tracks"
> ALL 2013 Sputnikmusic 4.5-5/5s
> BEA & RYM: 2013 Albums Chart
> Triple J: Weekly "Unearthed 5"
> Triple J: Radio Programs
I also plan to write more, and better, album reviews.

Get into some more modern music is definitely on my list of things to do. I'm not necessarily looking to become some indie rocker, but I'd like to find a few select bands that I really enjoy. I also want to start listening to some 50s jazz and then some oooooolllldddd-school ragtime.

Thanks for sharing!
For 50s jazz, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus and Duke Ellington will not let you down. If you include Vocal Jazz, then you have great albums from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.
If serious about ragtime: Scott Joplin

Thanks for the recommendations! And believe me Scott Joplin was already on my list for first thing to jump on for 2013.

Start going to the gym again.
Oh, music based resolutions. Well I want to make sure I listen to all the most acclaimed albums from 2012 now that the dust has settled and all the best of 2012 lists are out. I'm sure there's still plenty of great music from 2012 which has so far passed me by.

- Listen to more 2013 albums than 2012 (currently over 150 2012 albums)
- Spend some time away from music (my life has revolved around music too much at times)
- Continue to delve into older music (70s, 60s, 50s)

Well considering I've listened to more 2012 albums (over 150) than I have for the entire decade of the 60s - I want to start listening to more 50s, 60s and 70s music and go way past the obvious favourites (of which I've listened to most anyway).
