So I was recently looking up new music and discussing with my bestfriend Kelly (who lives in Arizona) that I really need to change up what I listen to more often, I mean I have TONS of music, we are talking well over 25,000 items just on my ipod alone. That does not include music I never added to my computer from cd's (which i know I need to finish.) Anywho I was saying how there are tons of artist/bands I have their whole discography but never sat and like properly gave them a listen. Where I listen to them for like a week if even that. Example: Oasis, I absolutely love their Album What's the Story Morning Glory. It is easily one of my top 5 favorite Albums ever, however I have never listened to a single other Album of theirs, yet I own them all. So I thought, why not me and her suggest artists/bands to listen to...
So we decided every two weeks we will tell the other person an artist to listen to, and we can pick from anything whether new or old. I am super excited to do this. We have been friends since 8th grade (1998) and we have always had similar taste in music, but since we have not lived in the same state in about 4 years, I am sure we both have music the other one has never listened to, or has not given a proper listen to. I think this will be an awesome experiment. We one will talk more often :D Which makes me happy. We have one of those can go several months without talking and just call and pick up where we left off kind of friendships which I love. Also we will both get into new music.
I also thought it would be fun to make it a Livejournal activity in a way. I will keep a list of the Artists/Bands we both suggest, and I will atleast review the ones she tells me to listen to and pick my favorite Songs/Albums of theirs... Obviously if they only have one album I will have to go with songs.
With all the Music programs to get free music, this should be easy even if we can't get a download or buy the discography. So If you would like to join in the fun, I will be making bi weekly posts with the lists of Artist/Bands and my reviews of the previous one. I will be tagging this post with the tag !MusicBFFExchange if you want to follow it :D
