Music in the Mayhem

One Unprecedented American Year - 366 Music Albums - My Journey Through It All

A lot can happen in 366 days. Especially in the United States. One might even decide to do something crazy. Like listen to a music album every single day. And then journal about it.

That’s exactly what Yellie Hart did. It’s no secret that the year 2020 was a rollercoaster ride for nearly everyone on the planet. But Yellie decided to document her personal spree of ups and downs while listening to music. She chose an album a day, every day, for an entire year.

Little did she know a that a Pandemic would happen. That she’d spend an extraordinary amount of time in her basement. Toilet Paper would be fought for. Riots would break out everywhere. Little pieces of fabric would become as divisive as abortion. The Capitol would be attacked. Schools would be closed. And Texas would freeze over.

What she discovered was: Music in the Mayhem.

In this very personal journey Yellie Hart shares her remarkable experiment of deliberately listening to music daily. She candidly shares her discoveries as she charts her way through an unprecedented time in her own life, and of life on this planet.

• She weaves her way through many wonderful musical genres-- often matching the mood of the moment. 366 albums in all.
• She daringly shares her observations of both the music and American culture; her findings as well as her joys and her sorrows.
• Her devoted human spirit magically pulls it all together through an uplifting documented triumph of musical discovery.

Yellie Hart is a GenX woman, born and raised just outside of Denver, Colorado. Normally, when she isn’t spending time in her basement, she is with her wonderful guy and family. She of course loves music and dancing as well as cooking, traveling, and eating ice cream. Yellie aims to provide mutually beneficial insight by offering perspectives through writing, art, conversation, and gathering. Music in the Mayhem is her first full length book.
