Music updates

So it's been almost exactly 5 days since I started my challenge (still not sure if "challenge" is the right word for it) to listen to my whole music library in order from A-numbered starts, etc.  I have only listened to 16 hours, 36 minutes, 51 seconds, and counting of music.  And I just added a lot to my library tonight (thanks to my good friend Ms. Caitlin Cullen).  So that means I have to backtrack and listen to Amy Winehouse, but I figure I'll wait until a CD break (post-Avril?) to do that so I know exactly where to pick up.  Anyway, this has been a slow moving project to say the least, and I still have no real ideas of anything interesting to do with it.  But I have taken some preliminary notes (when I remember to) and I figure at the very least I'll share them.
Things I've learned:
- Amos Lee is a male singer, and a pretty good one at that (John Legend-y?)
- Andre 3000 of Outkast actually sings, and not badly either (unless the Love Below singer is not him)
- Apples in Stereo are annoying.  Can you feel it? I don't know and I don't care. 
    - Energy sounds like Jenny Lewis

So.. rereading those here makes me realize they're not really all that interesting, but that is why I need YOU to give me ideas.  Because I am all dried out of them, it seems.  So please, to all my adoring fans, give me a project that I HAVE to stick to so that I can expand on this rather pointless assignment I've given myself. 

That's all for now.  I have been in the process of reading James Joyce's Ulysses for over two months now and have not made any real progress since coming home, so I'm going to try to fulfill one of my goals from my September 9th post and READ ULYSSES!!!!

Goodnight to all.
