Greetings and salutations fellow music lovers.

Lately I've been having a problem with myself and the technology geared toward bringing music to the masses. I'll be driving in my car or sitting at work listening to music and I will skip through tracks after putting my ipod on shuffle just to find a song I want to hear. I've become judge, jury, and executioner to songs that come on my ipod without really giving them a chance to play. These artists are on my ipod for a reason, right? What good is having 80 gigs worth of music if you're not going to listen to it?

So tonight after thumbing through a book entitled The Best Music You've Never Heard I decided to delve into my main source for listening to music- my ipod. It certainly doesn't come close to the same experience as listening to an album on vinyl, but it doesn't have to, the ipod is there for convenience; To plug in and have all your favorite albums in the palm of your hand.

Which brings me to the purpose of this blog. It's a way to force myself to listen to something new every day and write about it. Nothing big, just a few sentences about the song, the artist that created it, and how I feel about it. I promise not to do repeats.

Keep checking back. The first installment of 5 Songs In A Row will be posted soon.

Your faithful writer,
Nick
