30 Days of Music
I’m going to try and do the impossible in July (well, impossible for me, at least): I am going to write here every day. Via Matt Sheret (via Sarah Jaffe via Love and Zombies), I present to you:

Of course, this being me, there will be certain rules. One is that, even though some technically fit multiple categories (hell, almost all of the songs I’m going to write about could fit under “songs to which I know all the words”), I am only going to use each song once. For that matter, I’m only going to use each musician or group once. Much like my mixtapes, if someone has a side project, it won’t be automatically disqualified, but I’m going to take a harder look if this is the case.
I hope to surprise and delight with my song selections. Unfortunately, my musical taste has become largely homogenized by years of crushing disappointment in the music industry and my own pseudo-hipster ennui. So most likely no one will be surprised at all.
Luckily, I don’t care about any of that!
Good luck sir!
Eat a dick, you hipster faggot.
excited!
