What Are Your Musical Resolutions For 2009?

The question’s simple; the answers, not so much. Five of mine after the jump.

Pull out my dusty seven-inch collection and try to re-listen to every one over the course of the year. I will probably need to get a Swiffer before I do this, though.

Buy more albums without hearing them first. Because we’re all too fucking jaded by the Internet era.

More dedicated listening. Lucas and I were talking yesterday about how, for the first time in a long time, he just laid on his couch and listened to albums. No typing to friends on IM, no reading a book, no cooking a big, hearty meal—he just listened. I kind of miss doing that!

Try and make a music video of my own with that iMovie program, if only to see how I interact with music when I’m trying to sync it to images and concepts. Eh, it’s worth a shot, right? At the very least it’s fun on a budget (as long as I don’t upload it to YouTube and get sued)!

Listen to the Animal Collective album… eventually. Even though friends of mine have said that they’re haunted by “brothersportbrothersportbrothersport” being endlessly repeated in their dreams. Hey, wait a second, maybe that‘s how they make all the kids crazy!

I guess they’re all about discovery and going outside my comfort zone, eh? That’s so… pre-Internet era of me. Anyway, post yours!
