Here's my list so far. It's not completely current, I still have a handful of releases that I've listened to this week to add, but good enough for now. (I've built a simple Shortcut to help me generate this list on my phone without so much work on my end, and it's really made tracking my album listening a lot easier.) I've been plowing through my pending 2018 release list so I can make a proper EOTY writeup for friends, family, and you fine people, and holy cow, there are a lot of fantastic albums that came out last year. I listened to so many great ones and I still missed a bunch of them. I've got about two dozen left to listen to; hoping to get through those in the next week so I can make the list by the end of the month.

25. Driver Friendly - Bury A Dream (2012)
26. Copeland - Eat, Sleep, Repeat (2006)

January. James Blake was AOTM for me.

 

I honestly don't know what happened this year but I just listened to 59 new albums in January, that's way more than usual for me

 

First month completed.
My goal for this year is to listen to at least 10 new releases a month (For a total of 120), and 50 unique non-2019 releases per month (For a total of 600).

January Goal = Met (12 New, 78 Old) Total: 12 New 78 Old
February = Pending

At the end of every month I will rank all the 2019 releases from favorite to least favorite. I will not be doing that with non-2019 albums because 600+ albums ranked from favorite to least favorite would not be the best for my anxiety.

January (Favorite to Least Favorite as of 2/1/19 *Subject to Change With More Spins*)
1. Deveneror - Kenoma
2. Malibu Ken - Malibu Ken
3. Mo'ynoq - Dreaming In A Dead Language
4. Panopticon - The Crescendo of Dusk
5. Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow
6. Altarage - The Approaching Roar
7. Krallice - Wolf EP
8. Yvette Young - Piano EP
9. Wristmeetrazor - Misery Never Forgets
10. Tallies - Tallies
11. Old Sea Brigade - Ode to a Friend
12. Lantern - Lost Paragraphs EP

 

60. Broods - Don't Feed The Pop Monster (2019)
61. The Frights - The Frights (2013)
62. Rat Boy - Internationally Unknown (2019)
