I added albums to my list too, because I really want to listen to some new music this year. I am only going to add albums that I listen to for the first time (concert bootlegs do not count, but live compilations OK). Probably mostly from the past 3 years. I made that 75 because I figure I can do more than 1 per week. I also downgraded my "Etc." list to 30 because it doesn't seem as essential to me. I figure in there I will include TV seasons, any performances I go to (which are few and far between), and any other type of creative media that comes my way (long essays? podcast seasons? not sure what else to include).
I am going to include kids' movies on my list, not necessarily to pad it out, but because I do spend a lot of time thinking about these things. I will not keep track of how many times I watch these things, because I will probably just get sad.

What are your thoughts on The 1975 album? Some really great ones on there but some terrible ones. The man who married a robot left me puzzled
I had only heard 2 or 3 songs of theirs at all; this was my fitst time with a full album. I do agree in general--I felt like skipping some but was doing plenty of pen-drums on others. Was at work so I didn't pay much attention to song titles--but I think I'll definitely be listening again.
