Hopefully I'm not doing this for the rest of my life but if I am I guess it's not so bad. Maybe I'll be the next Rostasi.

I have no response to that. To be honest, I don't know if Exo was referring Action Comics #1 (1938) or DC Comics "Superman" #1 (1939). So I should have asked him first before assuming what he meant. Like they say: "when you assume you make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me.'"

Funny thing happened me today. It's pretty much life imitating Music Banter. So I run into a friend, and made a comment about his cartoon face mask which lead into a conversation that ran into all different directions e.g. gaming, superheroes etc etc. So long story short he said "... which is why Superman's first, Action Comics #1, is so expensive ... " It gave me an instant flashback to MusicBanter and Exo's analogy. I like the fact that at the moment he said "Action Comics #1" he seemed pleased with himself like he's dispensing rare and important information.

OK I'm pretty much done with this now. I don't like posting in other member's journals cause it make me feels like I'm trespassing or something.

I wish there were more conversational digressions here.

I’ve decided to try to put together a top 10 of my favorite records of the two thousand teens (*grunt*) but I didn’t really put a ton of work into it so I’d like to consider it a fluid document meaning that if anyone has issues or thinks I forgot something or whatever I’ll make adjustments in future posts. The formatting is from whatever I copy & pasted it from. Sorry it’s not pretty. I gave every year at least one slot which doesn’t really make sense either but here it is:


10) Christian Fennesz* & Jim O'Rourke ‎– It's Hard For Me To Say I’m Sorry
9) You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
8) Richard Dawson Nothing Important
7) It's the Big Joyous Celebration, Let's Stir the Honeypot by Teen Suicide
6) FLY or DIE II: bird dogs of paradise by Jaimie Branch
5) Coin Coin Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile Matana Roberts
4) Matana Roberts Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Thee
3) COIN COIN Chapter Four: Memphis by Matana Roberts
2) Bells for the South Side by Roscoe Mitchell
1) Susana Santos Silva ‎All The Rivers (Live At Panteao Nacional)

Dawson, Marana, and Branch would definitely be on mine. Fly or die #2 is my fave from Branch too, you seemed skeptical when I said that it was better than the first one iirc.

Don't want to turn this into grilling your list but while Coin Coin Chapter 2 is a ****ing amazing homage to traditional styles tantamount to a historical document, I rank them 1=4>3>2. Maybe you do too, idk, I just noticed the 1 per year thing in your post.

I still need to get around to more Susana Santos Silva. I see that she's involved with Fire! Orchestra and I only have a vague memory of checking out that album and that's the extent of my knowledge.

I’m not 100% positive. Not based on how good it is from the standpoint of importance but just rubbing me the right way The Chicago Project is way up there and maybe my personal favorite. That’s outside the time window though. It’s hard to explain why outside factors like cultural relevance matter. Like sometimes it’s not just music that I enjoy about music. Like I think 4 is her best but not necessarily my personal favorite if that makes sense.

Best/favourite has never seemed like a dichotomy to me but I know what you're getting at. There are some albums that are really important statements or whatever but you still find a deeper personal connection to something else in that artist's discog.
