Daily Digressions & Music Musings

I'm decidedly too verbose. So I'll let music speak succinctly for me every once in a while. A post a day - a new song worth sharing (accompanied by sound clip or video), or an old song worth remembering (accompanied by a photo from somewhere in the world.)

Sunrise, Sunset

One year ago, I found myself continuously stumbling into more new music than I knew how to handle. I was overwhelmed with the realization of just how much there is to discover out there. This was my attempt to document some of the discovery and track some new favorite songs and artists. The goal was to post one song each day - a song that was new to me (not necessarily newly released in 2011 or 2012, but just new to me) or a song that I already enjoyed with an accompanying photo. Yesterday was the post that concluded this attempt successfully. 

It's been a long, strange year but I've enjoyed this project. I hope you've enjoyed the journey and some of the findings. I will continue to use this as a tracking source for new music, but I likely won't add something new each day. I may also embark on a new project and share that with you soon. In the interim, feel free to join me at traveldigressions.wordpress.com for travel tips and previously documented, semi-incoherent thoughts about nothing in particular.

Thanks for joining me!
