Days Without Facebook: 8 (hardly think about it anymore, though they've sent another 3 emails asking me to check notifications)
Album Download Goal: 100
Albums Downloaded so Far: 13 (bold means downloaded, italics means I've listened to it)
I started off yesterday planning to download these:
Japandroids, Celebration Rock
Mount Eerie, Clear Moon
Kate Bush, 50 Words for Snow
Panda Bear, Tomboy
John Maus, We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves
The Weeknd, House of Balloons
Tim Hecker, Ravedeath, 1972
Sufjan Stevens, The Age of Adz
Matthew Dear, Black City
I picked up the ones in bold. I've listened to four of them--Japandroids, Mount Eerie, Panda Bear, and the Weeknd--and been doubly surprised by the last of them, which is a straight-up R&B record, which I actually like. Very fun.
Before I dropped off to sleep, I did some more searching and downloaded these additional albums:
Panda Bear, Young Prayer (their first album)
Hot Chip, In Our Heads (very fun dance album, I've heard)
Dinosaur Jr., Farm
The Tallest Man on Earth (four albums): Shallow Grave, Sometimes the Blues Is Just a Passing Bird, The Tallest Man on Earth (EP), and The Wild Hunt
With the Tallest Man on Earth, I actually just wanted one album. The one I wanted, however--Wild Hunt--was part of a single downloadable file containing the dude's discography. No real risk, so I figured why not.
I'm playing the Kate Bush album right now. Songs are longer and mellower than anything else she's ever done. It's a pretty good one for chilling out and having breakfast, which I'm about to do right now.

Finished the Kate Bush album. It's pretty freaking dramatic, like most of her other stuff. Hard to handle listen to a whole album of it, despite the dominance of piano, my favorite instrument, in most of her songs.
After that one, I popped in Hot Chip's In Our Heads. True pop dance album. But well made. First listen is a very enjoyable one.
Almost finished downloading Sufjan Steven's Age of Adz and Tim Hecker's Ravedeath, 1972.
I love it when I have the time to do this. Download, burn, play. It's more than a full-time hobby.
