So far there have been roughly 359 acts (musical artists or bands) cited, plus 13 compilation albums/soundtracks. "Roughly" because for example do you count Elvis Costello and Elvis Costello & The Attractions as one act or two?

I aggregated the artists cited in everybody's My9Albums posts, because that's the way my mind works sometimes, and realized there were some interesting gaps -- artists people frequently consider influential or foundational (or just feel deeply, passionately about) but nobody here put 'em on their lists.

In addition to the pic above, some others that stood out in their absence: DJ Shadow, Big Black, Shellac, Tupac Shakur, Tortoise, Bright Eyes, Mogwai, Oasis, Sarah McLachlan, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Mekons, The Orb, Kanye West, Buzzcocks, Elvis Presley, Blur, Gorillaz, Soul Coughing, Sufjan Stevens, Lou Reed, Orbital, The National, Negativland, Eric B & Rakim, Carole King, Willie Nelson...

Eazy-E got a mention but NWA and Dr. Dre didn't. The Breeders did, Belly didn't. Jefferson Airplane but not Jefferson Starship or Hot Tuna. Weather Report and Herbie Hancock but not Return to Forever or Stanley Clarke.

This post has a heavy Gen-X bias because that's me. I'm curious what artists millennials assumed somebody would've cited but nobody did.

joffaboy pro 4 hours ago
I reckon many folk, like me,would have found the restriction of only 9 artists would mean many important bands/ albums are missed. Given enough time, I could have come up with over 50 crucial artists & albums, no worries. I'm curious what fellow boomers come up with...
ardgedee pro 4 hours ago
@joffaboy Sure. Each individual is going to leave out a lot. And there was far less overlap than I was expecting when I compiled the list. Still, it's surprising that some of the performers mentioned didn't make anybody's list even if I don't expect any specific person to cite them.
wjcstp pro 3 hours ago
I've been surprised at the repeats of things i would have guessed to be more obscure - at least 5 people listed Eno, and 2 albums were each included twice (from memory, you probably have better stats).

Soul Coughing and Belly (or at least 4AD bands in general) would have made my list if i confined it to the '90s, they were both in heavy rotation for me.
ardgedee pro 2 hours ago
@wjcstp > you probably have better stats

Nope. Was tempted to make a proper table with artist, label, MLTSHPpers who cited, and realized that was a hole I didn't want to fall into. So I limited myself to a list of artist names.
ardgedee pro 2 hours ago
@wjcstp > (or at least 4AD bands in general)

Somebody listed the "Lonely is an Eyesore" comp, which afaict is peak 4AD. So I think you're covered. 😉

Didn't want to miss out...

No alt provided
alt text
I was out of town and was sick, so running a bit behind on my interneting. But this seemed like too much fun to miss out on.

It was tough narrowing this down. The majority of my listening over the years (I have music on most of day while I work, in the car, or working around the house) has typically been to find a good radio station and leave it on. I've also gone through a lot of phases with various artists and albums, where I listen a bunch but rarely revisit. Ultimately, I narrowed this down to albums that I both listened to extensively when I discovered them, and they stuck with me enough to listen again in the last year. These are also roughly in the order I discovered them.

Honorable mentions & other notes:
• I debated including The Who's Who Are You, which I distinctly remember my dad playing loud enough I could feel it in my chest on his Sansui/Altec Lansing system when I was REALLY little. Can't say I remember much beyond the title track though, and I haven't gone back to listening to their work.
• TMBG Flood probably belongs on this list as well, my mom had the tape and played it in the car pretty often.
• Peter Gabriel's Us might belong here, since it was the first album I bought.
• PC&L is really a proxy for all-things New Order up through Republic, which I was all-in on in high school (mid-90's).
• The Gang of Four album is a best-of, but at the time (high school) it was all I could find. It's actually a pretty solid compilation.
• I also debated including Eve from Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine, the debut concert for which was the first concert I attended. OtR, along with The Afghan Whigs and Ass Ponys, were the big-three Cincinnati local alternative bands when I was in high school. Their newer work is much more folk than my taste, but they put on a good concert and my wife is a fan, so we still see them pretty regularly.
• Eno's Nerve Net was actually the first Eno I listened to, when I borrowed it from my friend's older brother. Still love the album, but I think Tiger Mountain holds up better.
• Strawberry is also a proxy for Wussy's entire catalog, who I somehow only recently got into (despite it being very much my taste both in principle and practice, and knowing the Ass Ponys back in the day). I think this might be the album I've listened to the most.

"Second Toughest in the Infants" is another one that shaped what I want in music
cwhartman pro 3 hours ago
@B6FA798A3449 It was a tough choice between that, Dubnobasswithmyheadman, and Beaucoup Fish. Ultimately I realized I'm more likely to listen to standout tracks on those two, but Second Toughest I leave on for the full album.
wjcstp pro 3 hours ago
Your parents had good taste in music. My mom has the first Beatles album, but the only thing i remember my dad ever listening to was this one Whitney Houston cassette.

Also: coincidentally wearing my Wussy t-shirt today.
cwhartman pro 2 hours ago
@wjcstp My mom used to have the then-new MTV on during the day when we were little kids, so I'm sure some of that soaked in. Later she usually put on a semi-legendary early alternative station (WOXY) whenever we were in the car.

My dad tended to stick more in the hard rock/prog rock direction, which I think stuck a lot more with my brother. Lots of Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Rush, Pink Floyd etc. Don't mind hearing a few of those songs now and then, but not really stuff I seek out.

I bought a Wussy tee featuring one of Lisa's cats when I saw them earlier this year, but its 3/4 sleeve so I have yet to wear it.

Went to a University of Oregon football game. First football game in decades. First sports game since my son left soccer.

EXTREMELY out of my comfort zone: massive crowd, deafening noise, logos and flashing lights everywhere, lines for expensive mediocre food. The next day I just hid in the basement and napped.

Had a great time though. Would go again sometime.

I'll admit each of these is doing a lot of heavy lifting and all are standing in for probably a dozen other somehow-related albums. I've arranged them sort of in chronological order of when they peaked in importance for me. First row is mainly high school, discovering strands of punk, electronic, new wave, and nascent indie rock; primarily finding new things by browsing in record stores. Second row is college, when my horizons really started to broaden (and maybe solidify a bit more). A lot of indie and college rock but also more complex electronic music. I learned more from the internet and file sharing, but also my college radio station where I DJed for a couple years and the itinerant record seller who showed up in our student center every couple of weeks. Third row is post-college (so we're really condensing things at this point…), both discovering the depths of albums I only knew the singles from when I was younger, digging deeper into soul, roots, and world music, and strains of heavy music that I've only really started vibing with in the last 10 years or so.
ian_crowther pro 14 hours ago
Ask me to do this on another day and the 9 would probably be totally different. In fact, here's a credible alternate list:


Pulp - This is Hardcore
Spoon - A Series of Sneaks
Husker Dü - New Day Rising
Pere Ubu - Cloudland
Philip Jeck - Vinyl Coda
Neil Young - Everyone Knows this is Nowhere
Moondog - Moondog
David Bowie - Lodger

flimsy

A clumsy wooden cutout of a person, barely held together with tape and haphazard patches, stands on a concrete pedestal painted with fading gold paint. The pedestal has a small black plaque with illegible writing. The person is raising a fist and has an angry expression crudely drawn on its head. It is wearing a painted-on dark suit and fading red tie. The cutout is leaning backwards, propped up by a few supports. It stands in the middle of a barren gray meadow, under a gray sky. A few crows are perched on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

New kit

A large format camera on a monorail and tripod. The back is green and we can see some black bellows in front. There is a light on a stand to the right and a backdrop pole with a sheet of acrylic resting on some trestle tables to the left and rear.
TL;DR I got a new camera back.

I am going to be a bit of a gear bore.

This came from Copenhagen for a very good price. It is an 8x10 > 5x7 reducing back made by Sinar. It means I can now shoot 4x5", 5x7" and 8x10" film (as well as a few other instant options in between).

5x7" black and white film is readily available. Colour is trickier. There is a camera maker in the US who puts in a special order with Kodak twice a year or so. I have ordered 100 sheets from him, which is now waiting with my mother-in-law (was due to visit this month but had to postpone). I have joked that that many sheets could well last me the rest of my life, but I suppose it all depends on how prolific I am.

In the interim, a German company have started making Large Format film including a colour 5x7 film.
https://www.optik-oldschool.com/collecti...

Sinar still make cameras today and all of the parts are interchangable, even this green back which was first made in the late 1940's.

It's taken me a few years to get to this point, but I am now in a position where I can shoot on many formats, with different set-ups, using a single, modular system.

No, this isn't Russia. The Houthis managed to hit Saudi Aramco's FUCKING HEADQUARTERS & corporate offices in Dharan. I'm mainly posting this here because a) I highly doubt it will get any coverage and b) someone risked their lives and freedom to get this video out*. It's sooooo bad the Saudis had to admit that there was "some debris" in the vicinity from an "intercepted missle" LOOOOOOOOLLLL

all those bribes & shit ruined by the inability to resist an attack on an airport

This really isn't funny - it's part of a massive escalation - but it IS just so full of irony.

*Note: the attack has been verified, but whether or not this footage is real hasn't - but it could be, as the Aramco corporate offices have 4 giant hwy coverleafs right by them that take you on/off Aramco Road and that's what this viewpoint looks like. OTOH that's a lot of fire for an office. If verified one way or another I'll update or take it down.

aha, found a place you can watch the video: https://www.reddit.com/r...

UPDATE: "Aramco source to Reuters: the strike on Aramco's Dhahran headquarters damaged the complex's upper three floors and sparked a fire; building oversees onshore/offshore platforms, pipelines, refineries and export terminals." Oh, that's going to make things a little harder to fix when all those things are being bombed.

It has a large handle shaped like a human leg, extending from the left side of the bowl in my photo, bending at a right angle and ending in a flat foot. The bowl has a camel-coloured surface decorated with dark brown geometric patterns, which include zigzags and meander motifs arranged in horizontal bands around the body of the bowl and along the leg. From Attica, Early Geometric period, circa 850 BC. It sits on a light stone coloured surface in a display case at the Altes Museum in Berlin."

@foist probably my biggest regret not having seen live. But I was 17 when that album came out, although I think they did record a couple of Peel Sessions so maybe they did tour the UK.

My friend once said about me it took me years to discover the mainstream.

Now I have regrets for omitting Jim O'Rourke's Eureka. It's too hard.

Game Theory ++. "Lolita Nation" is so flawed, so fascinating.

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Keith Haring illustration of a blocky person stepping through a door from a dark room. The person appears to be dancing as there are motion lines around the hand and feet, and is colored a dark yellow. The door is orange, with a green wall and purple floor. the text reads
"National coming out day October 11-1988 national gay rights advocates"

38th anniversary of National Coming Out Day!

I've been out of the closet for 36 of those years, and still happily queer.

Fuck the fascists, fuck the right wing, I can love whom I want, and I'll fight like hell for those rights to be maintained for all queers, especially kids.

Happy Thanksgiving from us, but particularly from this cat who was snoozing in the sun amongst fallen autumn leaves on our deck.
