I set a goal to read at least 10 ‘real’ books in 2013. I don’t have an exact number, but I also want to listen to more albums this year too - between NPR’s free album streams, inter-library loan, BBC shows, and some YouTube listening I should be able to explore quite a bit.

Here’s what I put on hold at the library today:
Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel
Brad Mehldau - Live in Tokyo
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Grizzly Bear - Shields
The Black Keys - El Camino
Chris Thile - How to Grow a Woman from the Ground
Punch Brothers - Who’s Feeling Young Now?
Yo-Yo Ma (and others) - The Goat Rodeo Sessions
TV on the Radio - Nine Types of Light
TV on the Radio - Dear Science

I also have a long list of albums to check out next:
Mogwai - Young Team
Chris Thile - Deceiver
Brad Mehldau - Largo
N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
The Black Keys - El Camino

and other Radiohead and TY releases including Atoms for Peace

…and as I’m typing this I’m listening to A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory. I like it more than I thought I was going to…the bass sounds great. I’m looking forward to being able to turn it up tomorrow morning.
