Very happy to see you are still doing this! I commented before about my fascination with the exercise –– I copied the format and did it myself on FB for the first five months of 2022 before lapsing. Beyond my intrinsic life-long fascination with list-making of records/films, I've found your listening choices an inspiration; having followed the Jandek page since before he 'went live', I feel like your interest are worth following up on –– as I type, I am listening to the 5th disc of Autechre's 'elseq1-5' (I had never even thought about listening to them before seeing your 2021-22 lists) –– more recently, I've gone down the Peter Ivers rabbit hole and am astonished at what I've found there. I assume that we are more or less of the same generation, as there are a number of tell-tale artists/records that I also discovered when I was 12-22 years old, years when enthusiasms are strong and life-changing. It was also a comfort to know that somebody was diving so deeply into Tom Verlaine's discography after his death ... and I was always fascinated to find you listening to Wire's 'Chairs Missing' for months on end last year :) –– I don't remember if the group Souled American has shown up in your index or not: as of yesterday (June 14), all six of their albums have become available for the first time in the 21st century as DLs on the Souled American Bandcamp page (I have no connection with the band other than being a fan since my very late discovery of them a few years back.) Thanks again for the enjoyment this blog gives!
ReplyDeleteHello! I was born in 1971, and yeah, I assume that’s discernible in my listening. I wish I’d followed Souled American back in the day, but I missed out. Now fixing that, as you'll see in recent entries.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Seth
Thanks for the reply --- and for several new to me recording artists you've brought to my attention since this comment. Still completely flummoxed (not in a bad way) by Peter Ivers (reading the biography made him even more inexplicable, although, again, that's not a bad thing!) David B
ReplyDeletePS my listening is probably 70% various kinds of so-called western classical music, as I trained originally as a composer, however before that I was a teen prog fan, and high school jazz band member, but before I could finish college, I became a later-teen post-punk fan/musician --- my ratio of classical listening since I turned 40 has been on the high side due to 'making up for lost time' spent on other genres ...
ReplyDeleteI need to read that Ivers bio. What a crazy story, it sounds like. I didn’t grow up with classical music, so listening to e.g. Schubert is a walk on the wild side for me.
