Chapter 4: I Never Forgot About You
I sat on a bus for hours at a time. It was very boring.
I kind of knew that this was going to result in me properly getting into more music. On a cramped bus there’s not much to do but listen. I made this thread to try and guide it and learn what kind of music I liked and hopefully expand my taste and understanding. It uh. Kind of worked. Not long after I made this thread is when I got obsessed with radiohead for some time. It certainly helped open me up to the art of the Album Listen.
I have time and time again come back here and just. looked. I feel every album I’m given gives me a little piece of the person who reccomended it to me. I like that alot because I want to know people. I want to understand people and I want them to understand me. I hope these ““reviews”” give a little snapshot into how I am too. I mean I do give my life story alongside every review I make even now. I think that’s what the point became, really.
I listen to music with people alot now. That’s kind of where this idea ended up. I love doing it. I love it when they express what one little lyric means to them or the layering or anything. I love it when it means something to them based on completely external factors. I love feeling like I know you because I do know you. I do think something was gained in it being a shared activity but I don’t think this thread would have gotten nearly as large a response if it started out that way. I think this was a neccesary step in between and I thank you all for giving me it. I do wonder what you would’ve submitted if I asked this today.
I have been listening to your albums. Slowly. If you ever want your album to be listened to I’m happy to listen to it with you - this applies even now. Even if it was never submitted.
I think the reason it’s taken so long is that it’s alot bigger jumps from my comfort zone than I’m used to. I like to slowly move from place to place. I find it hard to take a true jump into something unknown. But I do, every once in a while. Enough to keep on growing, at least.
As I’m writing this I’m listening to Microphones in 2020. I’ve listened to it a few times this week and it’s taken on new meaning since the first listen (i think around a year ago now?). I find it wonderful how the past can change according to the future. This little snapshot I already considered beautiful but the experiences I’ve had listening to it make it an entirely new sound. It makes my heart flutter.
I’ve listened to just over half of the original submissions. I planned to finish this before I planned to leave (A plan I now regret and definitely did not come from a rational place) but then I uh. stayed. So I didn’t. I don’t know what it would mean to “finish” this in the first place frankly. At the very least I will continue it. Ever so quietly. And eventually there won’t be any more albums to listen to. And then maybe people will submit more. Just maybe. I’ll let it go wherever it wants to go.
Below is a sample of the albums from best to worst I took earlier this year. Not quite up to date and there are several of these albums I want to relisten to fresh. I just figured I should help the heart beat just this one time.
- Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon
- Camellia - UUFO
- Matt Maltese - Krystal
- The Black Keys - Brothers
- Weezer - Pinkerton Deluxe Edition
- Patricia Taxxon TECHDOG 1-7
- Lil Ugly Mane - Oblivion Access
- Chonny’s Charming Chaos Compendium, Vol. 1
- Alien Weaponry - Tangaroa
- Death Grips - Exmilitary
- 100 gecs - 10,000 gecs
- Hudson Mohawke - Satin Panthers
- AJR - The Maybe Man
I’ll see you guys tomorrow, whenever tomorrow is

There’s definitely some really good tracks on there but I could not fucking tell you where they are because I have not managed to listen through techdog since. Overall I don’t think it earns its more droning aspects with its best moments like the build does not match the payoff. Definitely enjoyed and its definitely meaningful and Good but I think it revels in its own excess a little too much which heavily takes away from what it could be. If youre like a supreme patricia taxxon fan and your brain is wired for Patricia Taxxon i imagine it works alot better but as a mere Patricia Taxxon liker I have to say it was quite enjoyable but absolutely not worth the time

yea i tend not to listen to 5-7 for these reasons (I’m only kind of a patricia taxxon fan) though maybe i should give 5/6 another shot. I think 4 in particular is quite strong & come back to it somewhat often.
this is also reminding me that she got banned from tumblr
