I just started something similar about 4 years ago for the same reason. Popular music has gotten too homogenous and it's hard to find new rock bands so I'm traveling back in time. I pulled up the wiki page of all albums released in my birth year ('76) and have listened to every album on that list regardless of genre. I'm currently in 1991, arguably the best year for music in all genres (so far.) I usually listen to 3 to 6 albums while I'm working. It's been an interesting experience and I've found some great albums that I've never heard of. I really got held up in my progress with Turtle Soup by the Mock Turtles. I listened to it on repeat for two days. I can't believe they never made it big. Perhaps it was too close to grunge hitting the airwaves.

I once got to play at a private event at an arcade where everything was set to infinite lives. I spent the entirety of the 2 or 3 hours at one machine (I think Streets of Rage) and we didn't beat it. That was definitely a quarter sucker and I regret not taking the time to explore the other games there. Having stakes definitely changed how you play.

I don't know why it's been that big of a deal that she left... Or why or how anyone leaves. Melissa had 6 seasons... Same as Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, David Spade, etc al. It seems like most of the greats are 6 to 8 years before their career retake takes off (six seasons and a movie!) She may have gotten lost in the shuffle of a giant cast, but she is hilarious and I hope we see her in more projects.
