Hey, I got into Blues when I was 12 or 13, and that's when Nirvana was all the rage. Age is no excuse! Dude could certainly stand to try some Son House in his musical diet.

As PPC Motto #14 goes, "Although not everyone has realized it, there's a little of the PPC in all of us."

there ain't nothing quite like the satisfying hum of a double clan PPC attack from a light mech taking out a much larger target

Satchmo8101, I'm not going to get caught up in an argument so I'll only answer this once. Don't take offence; I don't mean anything personally. There IS some blues in the list (for example, those Captain Beefheart CDs contain some of the most advanced kind of blues in existence, and "L.A. Woman" is The Doors' blues album). I'm sorry but "A Love Supreme" is kind of cheesy ... I have the five GOOD Coltrane albums (and boy, they're truly transcendental). Miles Davis? I'm sorry but it tends to be quite cheesy, and it just doesn't match the unpredictable psychedelic fire of those five Coltrane records (or, for that matter, the other jazz in my collection). Beethoven? Mozart? Compared to the particular works that I have of Bartok, Debussy, Lutoslawski, Mahler, Messiaen, Penderecki, Stravinsky, and Varese? You've got to be kidding me

[Added on March 25th] By the way, I haven't just chosen from recording artists' discography at random; I've listened to their albums and selected the box-worthy ones. I keep my collection in an apple box (which houses about 150 CDs) in order to keep it at a manageable size. This way, if I go through the box alphabetically and listen to two albums every day then I'll end up hearing each one about four times in a year ... and I won't get bored of anything. If something comes out that I absolutely must have (for example, I eagerly await the coming release of Venetian Snares' "Cavalcade Of Glee And Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom-Poms") then I'll make room for it in the box by selling the "least best" CD. You may not agree with my system but it works for me

Speaking of Venetian Snares, does anyone dig "Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding"? It's nuts! Here are the time signatures of the 14 tracks: (1) 11/8; (2) 20/8; (3) 23/16; (4) 20/8; (5) 23/16; (6) 13/8; (7) 11/16; (8) 10/8; (9) 19/8; (10) 10/8; (11) 17/8; (12) 11/8; (13) 14/4; (14) 15/8

So much to laugh at, who knows where to start. Just how old are you, before I respond to this nonsense?

One hint, before you start informing someone about any genre of music and the size of your collection, you better be sure you have an idea who you're dealing with.


It's posts like this, which make Young Geryon even more impressive.

I would argue the eclectic-ness and quality of these:

Canibus - "Rip The Jacker"
Leonard Cohen - "Best Of"
Deftones - "Around The Fur"
Deftones - "White Pony"
Nirvana - "In Utero"
Kool Keith - "Sex Style"

You listed just about every album that Viktor Vaughn(& alter egos) has put out. I'm not saying that they are poor albums, but some of them are not better than countless other amazing rap/hiphop albums out there.

Looks like you enjoy a bit of Venetian Snares, eh?

You have plenty of good albums on there, but its pretty much impossible to narrow down 150 out of every genre.

I can't force you to do anything, but I completely disagree with this manner of listening. I don't know how everyone else here operates, but I listen to whatever I feel like listening to, at that particular moment. If I wanted to hear some Funkadelic, I wouldn't stop and realize that I was in the "Z" section of my collection and would have to listen to Warren Zevon instead. And hell, even if I get bored of it, well that's that, but at least I got all the enjoyment out of it that I wanted, when I wanted it, instead of having to wait three months to hear it again.

For me, I listen to Blues on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; Tuesdays and Thursdays are reserved for some Rock (whatever that is...); Saturdays find me listening strictly to Van Morrison; and Sundays' listenings, being the odd day out, are determined by a rotation system of coloured coded charts in a vertical column, numbered (0-9) charts in the horizontal, whereby the meeting point of the two (chosen from two coordinate locations on the charts, deteremined by a coin toss, best three out of five) allows for the calculation of a dividend, the number of which, falling within one of ten ten-number groups (0-99), chooses, by a predetermined system (my mom did all the work on that one; it's really cool, too), one of my ten favourite letters of the alphabet. That letter is then drawn up ten times and accompanied by a number (ie, the letter O - my personal fav - will be drawn up ten times: O-0, O-1, O-2, etc. up to O-9). Each letter-number pair corresponds with a predetermined system of choices (again, a shot out to Mom), all of which are partnered with an artist/band whose name begins with the letter in the pair. It may sound complicated but it really is a great set up - and fool proof! It always chooses Lead Belly!

WOot! I think posting in a thread with "eclectic" in the title now makes me hip by association or somethin'.



Ps: Thanks for posting those time signatures! This only confirms your superiority and ability to recognize good music. Please don't ever change.
