The index is finished!!! It only took me 3 months, lol. :blobcatsipsweat:

My question is: was no one pressing records in 1966? There's only one album in our list from that year (Alton Ellis) and it's not even a full album, it's a compilation that includes some singles released in '66.

@miblo Ah okay, seemed weird but you're totally right, all but Spellbinder are in the "official" list.

@miblo Oh! That's such a great song. Let me know if you want me to add the album, we still have room before we're technically at 1001 "other" albums! (I think something like 70 spots?)

Most people who submitted classical pieces didn't have a particular performance suggestion, so it seemed logical to me to have composition as the date included.

@miblo Whoa, I would not have guessed that! I think of the Nancy Sinatra version first.

buffyleigh,
@buffyleigh@mas.to avatar

@miblo Whoa, that's weird. It's like not even the same song as Sinatra's version.

buffyleigh,
@buffyleigh@mas.to avatar

@miblo Awesome, will add soon!

And yeah totally, I think sheet music publication would definitely have been like an album release date. I guess technically classical pieces without a particular performance don't meet the definition of an "album", but I'm glad they're in the list, makes me listen to stuff I wouldn't normally.

TIL that there is an Afro-Caribbean version of The Who’s Tommy, called Hommy. I’ve never actually listened to Tommy but am going to live dangerously and listen to Hommy first.

Okay, so, like, this is the first #Shellac album I've ever listened to. I honestly didn't know until he died that #SteveAlbini was also actually in bands. I must've heard them before at some point, I just didn't know the connection. Wtf, RIP, tattoo the names of the dead on your hands, etc. etc.

Does anyone else have that song that you have to listen to all the way through when it comes on, even though you've heard it literally hundreds of times and kinda don't have time to finish listening to it but you do anyway because it's so friggin good? This one is mine, feel free to share yours below. :ablobjam:

Finally started opening the vinyl packages I've let pile up the last few months and was happy to have forgotten I had ordered last year's amazing debut album by Lebanese band . The vinyl sounds absolutely excellent, and it's up as a combo deal with a cassette of a live show, released in a couple weeks!

A friend just gave me the graphic novel deluxe edition of #Ascender, by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen :o)

Does anyone have an opinion on whether I should read #Descender first?

I'm going to ramble a bit, but it will hopefully come around to something. When I was growing up, I read a lot of older historical book series, a big one would be the Little House On The Prairie series. While I really enjoyed it, there are some very obviously negative portrayals of Native Americans and African Americans. I remember being angry about it as a kid, and my Dad telling me, that part of learning about history is that we have to acknowledge the people we were, and still are. But because Little House on the Prairie is only semi-autobiographical, I still have mixed feelings about this. I do think they are well written books by a female author, an interesting perspective on early American life, and as an adult I can see and acknowledge the issues with the text. If we try to get rid of every author with racist ideas there wouldn't be much left to read from the 20th Century, and it also feels like being dishonest about who we are. So, I'm very mixed, how do you all feel about it? Do you think children can handle books with racial issues like this if it's explained to them? What is our responsibility here?

buffyleigh,
@buffyleigh@mas.to avatar

@RickiTarr My question is whose responsibility is it to have those discussions with kids with racist parents who see no problem with such books. I was given the series as a kid, my parents allowed them because they considered them "good Christian books". I read them all at like 8-10 years old and had literally had no framework to see anything in them as problematic until I was a teenager. My parents still wouldn't see anything problematic with them today.

The last two full albums I listened to both had Roman numerals in the title, and were both numbered "II".

Anyone have other recommendations of albums with "II" in the title?

Anyone have other recommendations of albums with "II" in the title? I'm almost done going through the recommendations I already got, but I want more!

@miblo Lol, love it, fits as far as I'm concerned!

I like when people tell me they unfollowed me as if I’m a subscription service that's somehow losing money as a result.

@miblo I honestly hear most of my music news on KEXP these days. How I found out about Chris Cornell and Prince too.

I’m going to focus on my problem of whether I start a new list or just keep adding to the list of albums I listened to last month, because I can solve that problem and can’t do a damn thing about, like, anything else at all right now.
