The Chixie Dicks

In an attempt to switch things up from the norm I am going to try to refrain from writing my typical "current music fixation" post format, and try to go with something a little different.

Recently, in an effort to get the most out of my ipod and music selection, I started to listen to each and every album on my ipod from front to back. This is in no way a huge undertaking as my ipod currently sits at a modest number of full length albums at 230. This is a huge contrast to my old ipod which had in the realm of 1,300 albums. Unfortunately for me (and Murphy who manually loaded each album) it was stolen from a Vodka bar in Leslieville a little over a year ago...but I digress.

Within each letter of the alphabet there will be selected artists/albums that I feel merit a paragraph or two about its importance, its greatness, or its shortcomings. The albums chosen are not a direct reflection of who I deem as a "favourite" or "best" album or artist. There are too many good albums on the ipod and I simply do not want to write about each one. I'm fat and lazy, what can I say.

So, with this being said, the next several entries will be an alphabetical tour of sorts of "some" of the albums I am currently getting through. Stay and read and learn something about an artist you may not have heard of or given a fair shake, or don't and go listen to whatever buzz band Spin or Blender Magazine force feeds you.
