Laying Out The Plan.

Well, for those of you who stumbled upon our humble blog, I feel it ought o be explained what exactly we intend to do here. As you can see the blog is titled (500) Days Of Singers, which is an obvious play on the title of the film (500) Days Of Summer, which means the title is not a terribly good example of our originality.

The purpose of this blog is that I, and my partner on this expedition Nick Young, will listen to one album a day off of Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Albums list. If you are unfamiliar with this list, it can be viewed in full here.

We intend to write reviews of each album, whether it be a critical review or just anecdotal factoids, and post it at 9 am on the day scheduled for the album to be listened to (to better facilitate the listening pleasure of those of you playing along). Rather than go from top to bottom or vice-versa (which would result in too much Beatles all at once, and that kind of awesome ought to be spread out) the albums have been scheduled in a random order, with certain albums placed to coincide with significant days (i.e. A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector on Christmas, etc.) The schedule for each month will be posted in picture form at the bottom of the page, and posted as a blog post at the end of every prior month.

Well, we start January 1st, and we hope some of you will follow along as we traverse through 50 years of rock & roll.

-Mike
