Reboot: Album Of The Week Feature

In the spirit of renewing this blog, I'd like to update one the features that I haven't touch in a LONG time… the Album Of The Week.

I initially started this feature as a way to share what I was listening to and what I thought was good out in the world of the music. I did try to stay current and relevant by only featuring new(ish) albums, but as time wears on I'm finding it harder and harder to find new music that I enjoy. Call that a symptom of age or a symptom of a failing music industry, either one is probably applicable.

I'd like to at least try to re-boot the Album of the Week feature. However, I'll be focusing more on what I'm actually listening to that week whether that be new or old music. I might feature a new rock album one week and the next could be an Mariah Carey's Music Box. Whatever strikes my fancy will be fair game!

You'll be able to join in the fun by listening to the sample clips in the upper left of the main page (or if you're an RSS reader, simply click on through to the blog) helpfully provided by Amazon. If you're feeling the music (or nostalgia) and want to buy it, just click through to Amazon MP3 and if you buy the tracks, I'll get some tiny percentage of a penny added to a pathetically small pile somewhere on my Amazon account that will never actually be used. But it'd be nice of you anyway!

I'll also give my full write up of the album and why I picked it for Album of the Week. Most likely you'll see the post on the weekends or by Monday at the latest, if only so I have time to actually digest any new albums I might throw into the fray. That said, expect a new Album of the Week to be up soon!
