NOTES:
- Most of the albums on this list I actually own on CD. I’m trying to get through my old collection and get it all loaded so I stopped listening to as much online stuff this month.
- I have listened to that Big D album so many times and yet somehow it never got loaded
- “Cries of the Past” is such a good album, I had a mislabeled CD for years because the version I had was much different. Good thing my copy started skipping partway in so I downloaded the real verion.
- Listening to Static X made me think of elementary school
- The Donnas aren’t half as shitty as I remember them being
- The last 2 albums I listened to on 3/14 were my favorite vinyls for like all of freshman year in high school
- A.A. Bondy isn’t nearly as boring as I remember him being
- I think “Wish You Were Here” is my favorite Pink Floyd album. On a related note, I heard Primus’s version of “Have a Cigar” before I ever heard the original, and I listened to both CDs again within a few days of each other this month. Small world.
- The Virgin Prunes were the only Irish band I listened to on St. Patrick’s Day.
- Emmure SUCKS.
- “The Suburbs” is such a damn good album
- The first time I listened to Dirty Sweet I hated them but clearly my tastes have changed because this time around I enjoyed it
- Faith No More’s “Angel Dust” got played a lot in the last week of this month, I discovered a newfound obsession for this album
- Three Throwdown albums in one month?
- I can respect this new trend of femmecees or whatever, but I don’t really like a lot of their songs
I also saw Collective Consciousness, Ethan Harvey, The Maxies, The Tea Party Crashers, Madrost, Narcoleptic Youth, Rogue Rats, Shady Characters, Point Of View, and Nevermeant perform live.
