Last 20 albums I listened to in their entirety
This is partly for my own benefit to see what I now listen to in its entirety. More often than not these days I find I am listening to compilations of my hand or someone else's.

Metal Machine Music - Lou Reed (and I won't need to hear it again for a while)
Playtime is Over - Wiley
Tant de Belles Choses - Francoise Hardy
God Save the Clientele - The Clientele
If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle and Sebastian
Curtains - Tindersticks
Wincing the Night Away - The Shins
Earth - Hex (or Printing in the Infernal Method)
TNT - Tortoise
Naqoyqatsi soundtrack - Philip Glass

Night Ripper - Girl Talk
Neon Bible - Arcade Fire
6 Shards for Love - Longhorn
Sound of Silver - LCD Soundsystem
The Brave and the Bold - Tortoise and Bonnie "Prince" Billy
On the Beach - Neil Young
Symphony #5 (Describing Planes of an Expanding Hypersphere) - Glenn Branca
Radio Amor - Tim Hecker

I'm stuck!!! The albums listed here have been listened to in around the last 2 weeks, but I can't for the life of me think what another 2 are... I have to go way back. I am sure Jim O'Rourke was played through a while ago, but talk about going from a "3 main meal a day" size music diet to a bite size grazing diet. If my musical appreciation was a body I'd be overweight with all the snacking...

Is this typical? Why is it that I have changed away from my old habits of listening to records and albums the whole way through? Looking at the above, many of the albums have been listened to from computer, where playlist selection means it's too easy to turn away or off something temporarily offensive. Only a few have been listened to on MiniDisc (I have no iPod nor equivalent MP3 player) and I'm more likely to give a full album a go on this medium. Maybe that's why I doggedly stay with it instead of iPlodding along...

Anyway I'd be interested to know if others were the same. I can't believe I'm stuck on 18 albums. Quel dommage. Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
