The idea is for a journal for every month listing new albums I listen to and what I think so that when I review the year's music in December, I will have a handy reminder. I will add to this as the month goes on. Suggestions welcome.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51gCEn5jVBL._SL160_AA115_.jpg The Morning Benders - Big Echo
Released months ago in the States, I had to wait for the UK release before I could hear it. Incredible buzz around this album. Couldn't wait to hear it. And when I did, my first reaction was that of disappointment. Stayed with it and after a few songs, really got into it. Look forward to getting to know it better. My favourite - Pleasure Sighs - for its Cocteau Twins dreaminess and shimmering guitars.

How Varied Is Your Music Taste?
First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall (I skipped over Hans Zimmer cause he's not really a band). Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.

I went ahead an omitted any repeats
