Music collection alphabetisation dilemma polls

I will never listen to the oh sees or whatever they call themselves because if I liked them and wanted to buy their music I’d drive myself nuts trying to put it in order. Their fault

These obviously fake names are tricky I think:

B or N for Billy Nomates?

Also tricky for people who sometimes use just their first names:

Some of Dawn Richard’s album have her full name (so obviously under R, we’re not savages after all) and some just have ‘Dawn’. I filed them all together under R and then literally couldn’t remember her second name and so couldn’t find them for ages.

The guy has a really good schtick of changing the name all the time so you can’t follow them, and also making music that sounds terrible.

If this is like Firstname Lastname & Namefirst Namelast rather than a supergroup title, I’d go with whatever artist I like more/am more invested in.

If it’s roughly equal investment, hahaha doesn’t happen nevermind.

Yeah Freddie Gibbs & Madlib was the one I was thinking of

  • F for Freddie
  • G for Gibbs
  • M for Madlib

for MC/producer collaborations I go with the vocalist, though I’m definitely more into Madlib than Freddie

god organising is a mess

I’ve got a Trust Fund/Joanna Gruesome split 12", but for a long time those two artists were right next to each other anyway so it sat happily in between. Then another artist squeezed in there and I was left with some tough calls to make.

Because she’s the first listed artist and there’s no chance I’d ever have another Kurt vile record to put it with

Genuinely shuddered a little reading that. Chaos

CD’s are arranged in order of preference.

Might start filing by the main songwriters birth distance from the equator. In the event of a tie I’ll put the one with the most advanced swimming badge first.
