From mid-November until a few days before Christmas, I helped a friend of mine by giving him a ride home from work after his car was totaled in a wreck. Since the power supply in my computer had failed (leaving me essentially musicless) I took advantage of this opportunity to listen to many of my favorite albums on the car ride each day.
I realized that the round trip of each ride was approx. the length of an album, give or take five minutes. This gave me a chance to listen to at least two albums each day.
I'd expected the rides to last a week or two, so I set out about grabbing albums that not only I enjoyed but that he may like and that may be new to him too. When two weeks turned to three, four and beyond, I began running out of options and finding something that fit those criteria began to become tougher. Eventually, I threw caution to the wind and by Christmas week, I began throwing indie Christmas compilations into the mix, most of which I listened to when I was in the car alone.
After more than a month of this, the discs began to pile up in the car and though I could have taken them inside and placed them back on the shelf, I did have the idea of taking a photo of the large collection (which numbered about sixty discs) for the project. Finally, I'm able to put these away.
