I've been thinking about the records that I will place in my top 10 for the year.

I don't think I'm going to make a list this year.

Not that I don't think that there were too few amazing albums, or even that there are too many to sift through. It's just that the records I listened to the most probably aren't the best, or even my favorite. My listening has been all over the place this year and I love so many discs on so many different levels that it hard to say that one is actually better than another. Maybe I'll just make a huge list of all the stuff I got this year that really stuck with me.

Maybe I will write about a few that I really know I love and put a lot of thought about why I loved them. That will have a lot more writing potential than a sloppy list or 10 mediocre reviews of albums I'm not even that sure about.

Thinking out loud.
