there's a whole host of (usually older, now broken-up) groups that i just don't have the guts to thoroughly check out because they have such prolific discographies. an apologetic, charming pretention is a not insignificant part of my enjoyment of music -- i won't deny it -- and i'm very fond of cultivating that feeling of posession that comes with knowing a group inside and out -- if not all the eps and singles, at least all the major lps. i've a whole list of prolific bands (coil, current 93, flaming lips, etc.) i've realized i ought to check ages ago and i'm just too daunted. plus, when you finally do, it gives only minor satisfaction -- a feeling of belated fulfillment of something that needed to be done ages ago. it's so much more fun and validating to discover someone newish and relatively obscure to champion (monolake, ovuca). ugh. but meanwhile the list spoils and festers in the dark back-alley of my mind. anyone with similar attitudes? |

As far as flaming lips go, i heard "she don't use jelly" and i was in love. |

no, I listen to whatever I listen to whenever. I don't have any affiliations to certain artist, labels, sounds, genres or stuff. I just listen to what pleases my brain. |

i really do like getting behind something happening now... but there's just too many beautiful artists in the past who are waiting to be "now" when you hear them... stuff made decades ago that is still amazing and relevant today... i've always looked at it like i was uncovering a mystery... |

yeah, absolutely. but then you discover something and go to your friends and breathlessly say something like "whoa is my bloody valentine ever so fucking good" and they all give you bored and dirty looks. the bastards. |

There's a few not-so-diminutive discographies I'm STILL procrastinating on... and some I've been working on for over a year. I've always enjoyed digging deep, though. Although I have to admit, sometimes when I discover a new artist and a look up their discography, I breathe a sigh of relief if they only have a handful of releases! It's when pseudonyms and different monikers and collaborations come in that I REALLY get flustered... Edward Ka Spel, Skinny Puppy, Steven Stapleton, etc. A tangled web of work. It is really disapointing when you get into somebody you probably should have been into a half decade ago, but ignored or just didn't have the chance... Harry Nilsson has quickly become my second favorite artist of all time, and the fact that I've only been listening to him for just under a year is downright depressing... he fits right into my highschool years (still the best years). |
