See, I got into Cave from The Good Son and Henry's Dream, and went forward (I actually heard "The Ship Song" on a latenight TV show and loved it) and though I bought his previous albums, none of them clicked with me, so I think I'm more a fan of "later" Cave material, maybe.

We take different approaches with music. I’ll admit, it doesn’t matter how hard I try there’s still embarrassing huge holes in my music knowledge. I started listening to the Birthday Party in the 80s, but let’s say I had never heard of them and I saw the name on music banter. Once I googled it and realized how influential those records are I would feel ashamed about it. I would spend a day or two listening to all of it and reading about it. I think your 2017 thing is a cool project but once you get it done I suggest going back and filling in these kinds of gaps. I think it’s cool the way you’ll listen to anything but recognizing my mortality forces me to prioritize. Not dissing you. Different strokes and all... just my two cents.
