Nine albums. Thank 4 tag, @nico-di-angelfish
1.) View Monster by Lemon Demon. It's not easy for me to pick a Lemon Demon album, so this is the one that statistically has the highest number of my favorite tracks on it. Honorable mentions to Damn Skippy, Hip to the Javabean, and Dinosaurchestra.
2.) Treats by Sleigh Bells. Yeah, Poach likes Treats. Who knew? Zero skips in this album but Rill Rill is actually probably my least favorite. It's a good song, but this album does not need that breather in the middle of it.
3.) I Was A Teenage Washout by The Washouts. The only album by The Washouts. This album consists of music recorded by Jeff "Rip" Carson from between the ages of 11 and 16. Most songs were written by him as well. Discovered this artist/album while researching covers of Last Caress. Near as I can tell, Last Caress is the only non-original track on the album, but I could be wrong. Either way, this one grinds the line between "highly underrated" and "acquired taste."
4.) Paul's Boutique by The Beastie Boys. This album serves cunt hard. Again, no skips here except maybe the intro and outtro. Nothing wrong with them, but if you listen to the album often enough they can become tedious.
5.) Astro Lounge by Smash Mouth. Yes, the album with All Star on it. Turns out every track on this album fucks super hard, and there's quite a bit of variety to their sound. Another rock solid zero-skips album.
6.) The Conet Project. This isn't really an album. In fact it isn't really music at all. It's a five-disc collection of shortwave radio oddity recordings. Basically there are certain mandatory rules when broadcasting on shortwave frequencies. Recordings in this collection showcase stations that break these rules consistently over a long period of time, leading many to believe they are government sanctioned in some capacity, although they have never been publicly acknowledged or explained by any governing body. I listen to them on the reg.
7.) Cross by Justice. No skips. You've probably heard a song or two from this album even if you don't realize it. I seem to recall the "the party don't start til I walk in" line from THE PARTY being a popular meme some years ago. There's just no weak links in here at all. Perfectly cohesive album.
8.) f# a# ∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emporer. Another fairly famous album in music circles. There's not much I feel a need to say about it. It's beautiful, it's very dear to my heart.
9.) Puberty 2 by Mitski. This list is bookended by albums that were difficult for me to pick out from the rest of their artist's catalogue. Bury Me at Makeout Creek and Be The Cowboy are close contenders, but in the interest of not repeating an artist on this list I chose Puberty 2. Fireworks and My Body's Made Of Crushed Little Stars are almost guaranteed to bring me to tears anytime I hear them.
I don't feel compelled to tag anybody. My mutuals know who they are. Anyone should feel welcome to make a similar post.

what kind of music you like listening to? could be directed either to you or the doc (or both!!)
my favorite genre of music is.. whatever i like listening to. i just like music a lot!!
if youre wanting a more specific answer than that, then i really like classical, swing and big band, and mid-century modern lounge and jazz!! bossa nova also maybe. i also like listening film scores and the occasional opera.
we also somehow happen to be in the year 2024 at the moment so maybe youre wondering about some newer genres? well all of the above is still very true! but i also like electroswing, most kinds of rock, early 2000s rave and edm.. most kinds of edm or electronic actually, and this tends to cover a wide variety of genres but i also like listening to video game soundtracks.
#if you want some examples mm...#i really like shayfer james' music#one of my favorite albums of all time in the swingin eye by si zentner#two of my favorite songs of all time are melancholy serenade and the shadow of your smile. any arrangement#tom lehrer also very good i love satire.. new math and masochism tango and the elements by tom lehrer are some of my favorites#yes i like will wood yes i listen to rammstein#i love oingo boingo#oh how could i forget my favorite song Ever is song of the death machine by bruce haack#i like they might be giants#there are too many to name i could quite literally go on and on and on and on for hours#people dont like when i play music because i will make you listen to the conet project#i lovee numbers stations listen to the swedish rhapsody from the conet project NOW#listening to stardust by the ray conniff singers as im typing this#question for me. or for me. so you are making this quite difficult#there are plenty of others that i didnt ecen mention too but i hope this is informative x]#i skipped over the eight other asks in my askbox to answer this one now just for you#the doc is in#replies from the void#music

i love numbers stations and i also love the theory that at least some of them still maintained today are literally just junk data. like we know at least some of them are real messages like the russian military ones that are mostly just kinda boring daily messages or the historical ones thar have been declassified like "yeah that was us it was some spy stuff" but theres some ppl theorize are literally just there to fuck with other countries and make them wonder wjat the fuck it means
and i assume that like, everyone knows junk data is a very real possibility and they realize yeah theres a p good chance this ones like, jack shit, but. what if its not? what if EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE its used to transmit a real message. what if we SHOULD be listening. so its like
#buzzy#i like ghe russian military ones i think theyre called like. the pip. the squeaky wheel. the goose.#and from what i know theyre mostly just boring shit like 'training exercises today at 2pm be there or be square'#but can also feasibly be used to transmit more pertinent info#they arent really mysterious tho theyre just like. encoded messages and we actually know who theyre meant for and shit#numbers stations#shortwave#god i wish copies of the conet project werent so fucking expensive i want one T-T

recently passed 19 years of scrobbling so here are my top 19 albums since sept 2004
photoshopped bc de-loused was in position 18 & 29 due to having a version with an en-dash and one with a minus in the name
i've done a pretty good job of seeing these bands live (about half), some of them five times (wolf parade)
