Man, that’s so tremendously sad.

Third Ear Band - Alchemy
Third Ear Band - Raga Live

You have to admire how tenacious the guy was when it came to sticking to his guns. Unwound are definitely one of the great overlooked bands that don't deserve to be. I can't say I am an Unwound freak, but I've bought ''Leaves Turn Inside You'' years ago and over time I came to appreciate them and his work as an artist in general. Sad loss.

John McLaughlin Mahavishnu Orchestra - Love Devotion Surrender

Claire M Singer, live at London's Union Chapel

Coney Island Baby by Lou Reed. Album #360 for the year.

Do you do that Rate Your Music/Album of the Year stuff?

Kids turn music listening into a competitive sport these days, I swear.
I’ve gotta get off twitter. People claiming to have heard like 15,000 albums at age 15. Speed-listening and rating, I assume.

Something weird about it to me.
I’ve gotta get off twitter, man.

This sort of reminds me of post from atsonicpark 10+ years ago regarding the sheer volume of albums he was downloading and listening to......no doubt he knew his stuff!


Regarding twitter, where are you finding speed-listening/rating content?

Gotta agree. Not to sound like an old man but when I were a lad I had to save to buy an album. I'd buy it and that was it for a few more weeks and I'd damn well listen to that album more than once and not make a quick judgement. So many albums where it's grown from "eh" to being one of my favourite albums of all time.

The internet has ruined that. Me included.

MV - What I Became.

Exactly

It’s just something I’ve picked up on in my forays into “music twitter.”
Quite a weird little world. People with RYM accounts are the ones clocking ungodly numbers and speeding through albums so they can put them in a chart thing and advertise them.

Search twitter for “topster” or ”rym” sometime.

I just observe, don’t really participate, but it’s quite weird in my opinion.

I do, haha! And lest you think that I'm just pumping a rating out, I've written a review for everything there, too.

That #360 is just the autistic accountant in me making a list of everything I've done this year - partially for memory services; partially to just show off. But I like to talk about music, and if I've got my tastes on offer, it offers a good starting point.

Not without following me first, I hope. :D

Very interesting, choc-E-choc!

I’m curious, for the dates upcoming later this August, did you select those albums or did some algorithm do it for you?



Your Merzgame is growing strong!!!



Thx, I’ll check it out!

[/url]

That's not what I'm listening to, haha - those are albums that have recently been released, or will be released soon, by artists I've rated stuff from.

Music is the new Pokemon card game. :(:mad:

i do rym as well

Sorry, I didn’t mean that as an insult against you. I’ve seen some people claim they’ve heard ungodly amounts of music, and it’s all about accessorizing music you’ve heard. Weird deal.

Lee Ranaldo - BLIND PERFORMANCE #2 - NO FUN FEST NYC 2008

Beach Boys - Love You

^^^^

lol, I looked at that sleeve and this sprung into my head:

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight


My least favourite R.E.M. song, oh well

I'll check out what music it is

What did you think of the ep?

I should be bludgeoned in my bed ;) for saying this but they are probably my favourite band and are just as good as the Smiths.

It's time to take my life to the next level; I'm thinking der tpk german 1942 era eagle crest tattoo on the auld flesh bag.

And now boy true keeping the tpk action alive

i accidently posted it in last album you bought thread lol

jonnine (standish, htrk) - blue hills




ichiko hashimoto - beauty




beautyon - no02




luciano cilio - dialoghi del presente

One of the most odd and unique sounds I’ve heard in 2020
Cosmic neo-soul from Chicago that switches from 70’s irritating to sheer brilliance

BYZMUTI - Tipota

Their new single, "Legal Ghost"/"Heaven". The official blurb is better than anything I can come up with, so:

most of this week is Good Morning, Captain by Slint. i'm trying to learn that song

From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah
 

Is that like Nirvana Covers Van Morrison or something?

This reminds me for some inexplicable reason of getting busted for drink driving by the Pigs in 04'...or is it this can of brewdog duopolis drinking on the job melancholy effect?! Album is canny, if ultimately a bit shit.

CUNT

And now the undisputedly best in my superior opinion live document of Joy Division: Les Bains Douches (LOL) 18 December 1979
