Thank! Using that I was able to find a local seller who ships internationally https://www.kennys.ie/shop/kayanerenko-wa-the-great-law-of-peace-williams-kayanesenh-9780887558214

I get a “403 forbidden” error for that link. But thanks for steering me away from something I definitely wouldn’t have been able to finish.

I use it too. My main issue is that when I’m entering tag names on a new article, it doesn’t suggest existing tags. Makes it very difficult to keep the number of tags limited. I might create #environment when #climate is what I would usually use.

You’re set for life anyway

I know musicians who did well for a while but just couldn’t make the anti-social hours that goes with it work for them. Best of luck with it.

It sounds like a lot of that collection has history and meaning to it, very nice. Music school - I’m envious! Do you play still?

The local band I’m thinking of was called Sprog, from Galway, Ireland. They were so, so good. I had two of their cassettes: Scratch ‘n’ Stiff, and Reg Holdsworth, but they seem to be unobtanium now https://www.irishrock.org/irodb/bands/motivesprog.html

Sounds like you’ve got something for every occasion there! I don’t know how you managed to listen to most of the 2TB collection - that’s impressive! I have a total of 256GB of music - mostly FLAC - and I still haven’t listened to most of it yet.

There’s a dozen or so cassettes shoved in a closet of local bands I can’t replace, so they got digitized.

Ah, this reminds me of the cassettes I had of a local band I absolutely loved. I let them go when I had other stuff going on in life and I regret it so much to this day. I must try and track those guys down and see if they still have copies.

I’m a seasonal listener too. I turn to very different stuff in winter than in summer, etc.

I have a lot of stuff I haven’t listened to yet, so shuffle doesn’t suit me so much at the moment. But I might move a lot of those out and introduce them more gradually next time instead.

650 sounds manageable. For some reason, when I had more than this I found it a bit frustrating choosing what to play. Enjoy!

Nearly double what I have. How many would you say you listen to regularly (or semi-regularly)? I’m noticing I get so much enjoyment out of a certain 10-20 albums that I’m finding it hard to justify the entire collection.

I’m glad that you drew my attention to them because I listened to so much rock in my youth that I have an instant skip reflex now. But this is great.

And yeah, I’ve noticed my tastes collapsing in on a smaller range these days too. That’s why I started the thread, to try and find something different and great. I got enough good suggestions to last me at least a year!

Just listened to that flute solo. God damn that’s incredible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd6u3hQ9bkQ

I never listened to Jethro Tull that I know of. I bet they’ve been imitated countless times, which can make them sound less unique to people like myself who discover them out of sequence. But based on that I’ll be checking out more. Thanks.

This really suits my tastes, thank you so much. Edgy and vibrant but cosy in a way too.

That’s Where You Are also sounds lush and has breathing room between them. It’s soft and gentle yet subtly energising.

I realise describing music is a particular skill, but that’s my best attempt and thank you again. Funnily, I think I can remove some artists I’ve come across in the last year or two because Knower tops them all.

I’ve listened to The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place, too. I actually can’t remember it now because I’ve listened to so many things at this stage, but I’ve bookmarked it under my “shopping list” folder so it made a good impression. I’m halfway through Brother, Sister and there are definitely a few songs I’d like to favourite on it. It’s funny because it seems like a fairly standard rock sound at first, but there are these little details or events at times that stand out.

I’ll check out the others, you TC, TC, TC too :)

I doubt myself and psychedelics would mix very well, but I’ll definitely check out 10,000 Days or Lateralus and see if they hold up when I’m on liquorice tea and Tony’s Chocolonely :)

I’m enjoying I’m in Your Mind Fuzz and Nonagon Infinity, thanks. There’s a kind of an implicit psychedelic drone that draws me in. They remind me slightly (only slightly) of the group Swervedriver from the soundtrack of Road Rash 3D on the 3DO years ago.

Infest the Rats Nest is a very enjoyable listen too. Their sound is a little different to other rock groups in my collection, but I’m very out of date with that genre (as in decades). I’ll get on to your other recommendations too. Thanks again!

It’s tricky because the name and sidebar carry the job of letting people know the nuance that it’s not just for posting bands we like.

I will look into all of those, thank you again. I would definitely like to support someone currently in Ukraine. The personal reports from Kyiv sound frightening.

The community sounds great. Are you trying to avoid a literal/ descriptive name?
