time away

My devotion to this kind of thing is a pendulum and apparently that pendulum got stuck in the inactive half for, well, a few months. I generally stopped listening to new music, stopped buying albums, and forgot about this entirely. I spent a bit more time reading (Murakami's Wind-Up Bird Chronicle) and going through the backlog of podcasts (Best Show and WTF) until I was mostly caught up.

So where do I pick back up? There are the five albums in the previous post (from late April) plus these three I never got to:

Michael Rother - Flammende Herzen
Mark Hollis - Mark Hollis
Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor

That makes it eight. I want to get through at least four of those before adding some new wave, lovers' rock, and punk albums I want to listen to.
