Listen.
I get it.
It can be a fun little game to play. “Pick 5 records or we shoot this dog in the head.”
It can also be useful, a little mental exercise to organize and catalog all the shit you’ve watched, heard or bought (HA!) over some period of time. “What came out in January that I still care about at all?”
