Do you alphabetize the last names or the first names?

I will take some screenshots of my massive data caches of audio files and then you can suck my not-so massive wee-wee.
How does that sound?

slightly aghast to find that due to excessive cullings, I only have THREE 7"s that start with the letter A.
Fucking 3!
Bonus points for guessing the 3. (you NEVER fuckign will)
FFS I only have 2 shoeboxes worth of 7"s in total now. And about 5 shoeboxes worth on the waiver wire/trading block.

ffs have I got this big bad mofo dialled in wrong? It is INSANELY loud. Volume dial has 0-80 but volume 3 is already booming.
If I went to volume 5, small children in the street outside may turn feral.
Volume 10 would definitely result in all my apartment building residents assembing in the carpark outside for the earthquake drill.
A
tapes:
Al Green - I'm still in love with you. metal biased tape but the fucking thing is doing the warble. Al Green - Lets stay together. this one too. inauspicious start, MORAN. AC/DC - '74 Jailbreak. also rooted. ffs tapes. Austerity Program - Terra Nova. digital jackhammer duo. too squally here Austerity Program - Backsliders. too noisy/experimental. need more of their repetitive hypnotic angle Austerity Program - Black Madonna. maybe more of a headphone band. maybe I need to rerecord using Dolby B Afghan Whigs - Congregation. total fucking godhead of planet alignment. shitty guitar sound, tinpot recording, all saved by That Voice and Those Songs. Feel like this band fell through the grunge cracks getting lumped in with the "Seattle sound" crowd.
onto the LP's
A Flock Of Seagulls - s/t. yes, yes, you can have your laughs but I LOVE this thing. Not as wussy synthy as you might think. A Flock Of Seagulls - The More You Live 12". this sounds BANGINGGG. Volume 2 out of 80 on the amp and its still going to cause total bowel liquefaction for the downstairs neighbour AC/DC - High Voltage. New appreciation for this album thanks to new amp. The Lotus Revealed Itself Before The Vishnu AC/DC - Let There Be Rock. easy to tell why this band were bigger than satan. this guitar sound is like a drug in the bloodstream.
tldr, today's top 3:
1. AC/DC - High Voltage LP 2. Afghan Whigs - Congregation cass 3. A Flock Of Seagulls - s/t LP

close but no cigarillo ( MORAN. Not close at all. - Forthreich) 7"s:Armitage Shanks - Road Fever. total keeper Art Of Noise - Kiss. weird how the percussion sounds completely different on this with different amp Avail/Young Pioneers. loved this thing in 1997. dont hit too much now LP's:Acid King - Busse Woods. boring monotonous doom metal. luckily, boring monotonous doom metal is TOTALLY my thing. but sounds too rough and somehow inviting with new amp Al Green - Livin' For You. think I may have thrashed Al to fatigue over the years tapes: Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen. godhead. surely in my alltime top 50 tldr/ Top 3:1. Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen. 2. Art Of Noise - Kiss 3 Armitage Shanks - Road Fever. How are your Alphabetical Listening Challenges going, my fellow kids?

ANGELS: woah had no idea they were nice power pop. Not what I was expecting ACCEPT: that style of metal aint my thing
wouldnt mind my copy of Back From Samoa back. although like a sad old git looking to recapture his youth I'd probably play it twice then file it away forever

Really nicely written and well performed songs and the guitars are just fucking awesome.
The heavy guitar chords that underpin the chorus of The More You Live The More You Love are so pleasing at volume.

Volume dial has 0-80 but volume 3 is already booming. wft CD's are wayyy quieter. Usually it's the other way around. fFS I have hooked this big fat cunt up wrong havent I. Related to having 4 speakers wired up at once? The smug little chuckles this band seems to generate reflexively annoy me. Really nicely written and well performed songs and the guitars are just fucking awesome. I guess people take one look at them and chuck them in with Kajagoogoo.

I got to see a flock of seagulls reunion show where all the 80’s trappings were gone. Singer wore a baseball cap with a ponytail coming out the back and looked more like you average sound guy than new romantic. They did a heavy rock version of i ran that seemed to disappoint the audeince. But at the end of the set they did the regular one.

LP's
Al Green 2xLp JPN comp. total godhead, headphone jizzer Amon Düül II - Made In Germany. no idea why a bigger deal isnt made about this mid 70's outing. fantastic fun Arcwelder - Pull. amp failed the guitar tone here Arcwelder - Entropy. also here. A Frames - 1. best band A Frames - Black Forest. never get sick of this. Band Of The 00's. Acid King - III new appreciation for this doom munter Acid King - Free / Down With The Crown. on headphones = deep lumbar brain thrum throbnosis. This was the epochal moment the new amp tethered itself to the frayed nodules of my tiny devastated barren top paddock and we melded to achieve symbiotic deepmunt murder symbiosis tl/dr TODAY'S TOP 3:1 Acid King - Free / Down With The Crown 2 Amon Düül II - Made In Germany 3 Acid King - III

tl/dr TODAY'S TOP 3
1. Adrian Belew -Desire caught by the tail LP 2. Amon Düül II - Hijack LP. 3. A Frames - 2 LP

tapes
Blue Nile - Hats. might need LP upgrade here Beta Band -hot shots. still fun after all these years Bauhaus - In the flat field. total godhead. I need my skull examined for phrenological tendencies for selling my LP copy of this Belle And Sebastian -write about love. might be done with this band and their paisley twee bollox Big Star - 3rd. fahhk I might need the lp back for this. Bob Dylan - World Gone Wrong. rootsy but unexceptional Bongripper - hate ashbury. too much experimental drone dithering. I WUNT RIFFS. DOOM RIFFS! Bailter Space - Vortura. shoegaze classic. Random track towards the end I tend to think of as the birth of a new subgenre that nobody else ran with; sludge shoegaze.
tldr Today's TOP 3
1 Bailter Space - Vortura 2 Bauhaus - In the flat field 3 Big Star - 3rd

Belle and Sebastian, I cannot think of a band that exists in a more impervious critical bubble. I only ever see five-star reviews of their work and I've never lasted a song.

I got the Life Pursuit LP first and was really rooting the first half of it, on the strenght of that ended up getting about 5 more of their lp's looking for my next fix but the thrill never really got replicated again ffs.

I remember being very skeptical of these guys at the time but the song “Legal Man” really changed my perspective on them.

I could not imagine doing this.
1) I would 1st have to alphabetize everything 2) I have a whole section of like... stuff friends gave me? I'm not listening to that, but I can't be caught not having it! 3) This would make me realize how many of my records I should actually sell...

1) I would 1st have to alphabetize everything Order! Order! Discipline! slightly unthrilling last 2 days with tapes of The B's: Bob Dylan - Love And Theft. somehow sounded better with the old amp. Blind Shake - Celebrate Your Worth. this one too. wft. I lurrve these 2 and really need lp upgrades Botch -american nervosa. thought I was done with this old chaotic metalcore fave but this metal-biased tape makes it sound thrilling as shit Bats - Couchmaster. too un-Batsy. needed more repetitive jangle, not this US-style rock malarkie Bongripper - satan worshiping doom. the tone aint right tl/dr Top 31 Botch - american nervosa 2 3

Bad Religion - No Control. the only thing I can handle by this band these days. warp speed wall of noise Bongripper - hippie killer. The Ripper brought home the bacon here, deep blue vein cock subterranean periscope stiffy time Born Dead Icons - Ruins. love this band but this mix is a bassed out mess Beastwars - IV. too much amp razed the burr off the Unsane farted bass tone, ah fuckit u know what i mean Bob Dylan - Modern Times. more rootsy godhead Brian Eno - Before And After Science. really odd "funky" bits and bobs of an album Brian Eno - Apollo. totally glorious spaceout
tl/dr Today's Top3:
1 Bongripper - hippie killer 2 Brian Eno - Apollo 3 Bob Dylan - Modern Times.
