Between the REM podcast I’m following and the ridiculous listening club I have heard very little new music this year. Have heard lots that is new to me though.

Looking forward to some EOY listing to catch up in December.

Think Life’s Rich Pageant might be my winner so far though.

actually im just going to link this song here because i think its one of the best songs ive ever heard and i hope people listen to it

the breath of a mighty storm blows the black habits and the robes back to hell
and the violence as well
til all that remains is a gold carcass spread across the world that is dead, but is breathing for them without breath
three nails
a cross
and an ideal son

heaven waits for king jessup
when his nine trials are done

Now for a nerdy work-avoidance exercise (that took much longer than I actually expected): A normalized list of top played albums based on number of tracks each album contains. Bolded artists jumped into grid because of math.

Dropped off grid because of math (some others not shown/listed may slot in above these if grid was bigger than 6x6):

  • Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals - King Cobra 40/17 = 2.35 plays
  • Scared of Chaka - Hutch Brown Sayngwich 36/17 = 2.12 plays
  • Broadcast - Spell Blanket 36/36 = 1 play
