So it was fun to spend a lot of this month just re-listening to things and seeing how I feel now. I've never been a big repeat listener - usually the first 2 or 3 listens let me know how I feel, and after that it's just a question of revisiting and reminding myself of that feeling every now and again. I heard probably over 200 new albums this year, but I didn't necessarily form deep relationships with many of them.

I stayed pretty busy, and just grabbed music listening time whenever I could. But when life hands you some wins, after years of losses, you gotta take it. 2014 was a great year for me and my family, which feels weird to even say considering what an awful year it seemed to be in a larger sense on the world stage.
