What's up? What's Stendhalling?

Let me begin by saying I have a lot of music. Too much music. Currently, my library has about 180gb, and I haven't listened to a lot of it. Too much of it. In fact, about 173gb of my library hasn't been played once in its entirety. Why would I bother collecting so much music and not listen to it?

Well, I want to listen to it. Really, I do. And so I made this blog. I've set a goal for myself of listening to every single file in my library at least once. I'm going alphabetically by album through them all. This is to avoid getting stuck in some 14 album discography of an artist I'm not terribly excited about. To keep it interesting, I'll post the total size of all unlistened tracks at the end of each day, along with a couple of tracks I found interesting/ cool/ perturbing/ generally noteworthy during my listening sessions.

So...what's Stendhalling? Stendhal was some guy (I didn't do too much reading on him, but have fun). More importantly, Stendhal Syndrome is almost religious ecstasy in the face of exceptionally beautiful art or in the presence of a large quantity of art.

Does 33,000+ count as a lot?

Let's listen to some music.
