I have a long list of albums I am slowly getting through. They come from all over the place. People tell me suggestions, find suggestions in blog posts, find lists of albums, hear things when I am out and about using Shazam, etc.

I love the list, but sometimes current me and past me get out of phase with what I want to hear. There is stuff from a couple of years ago that is kind of head-scratching to me right now. It's got me ruminating on how to handle the list.

Currently, it's being sorted from oldest to newest. While that is clearing out the albums I added from earlier, there is a lot of "huh" happening. If I reverse the sort to recently added to oldest, then stuff is going to be buried under the sediment of newly added albums. A brainstorm is in order.

Brainstorm

• One new, one old: evenly chips away at both ends of the list
• One new, two old: a little bit of me now and clears out the past quicker
• Two new, one old: a lot of now but slowly moves the old end of the list along
• MWF: listen to recently added on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
• M = old: have one day be the oldest albums
• Sun = recent Moon = old: this one is kind of tidal
• Decade = start with current decade and go backwards with each album

Half of me thinks either "two recent one old" or "MWF" would be fun. The second one is probably less thinking in the long run. The main point of all of this is having fun listening to music your own way.
