Music
It's been years since I bought an album. And I'm increasingly bored by the local radio station I listen to and their extremely small playlist. And there are very few audio-only podcasts I listen to now - most I watch on YouTube. So I've been thinking it would be nice to get into music again. Not necessarily new music, but there are a lot of old albums that I would like to add to my collection. In much the same way that I went through a phase of reading classic novels, I think I would like to start a phase of listening to classic albums. Maybe by purchasing one new album every month? Should I ever go on a decent length road trip (hopefully sometime next year), then it would be great to go on the road with some decent tunes on hand. I am kind of old-fashioned - so rather than just play stuff on Spotify or some similar streaming service, I'd actually like to own the music. It's the same mindset I have when it comes to films and books - I much prefer physical media.
