Members Don't Get Weary by Max Roach (1968)
Fills my 1968 gap. This one sounds more subtle than the other albums of his I have tried. I especially like the powerful title track.

Replica by Oneotrix Point Never (2011)
After adding R Plus Seven and Tranquillizer; this had to be next. He makes music that is so surreal. This is ambient but for people who think ambient is boring.

It’s Time by Max Roach (1962)
Just a really solid jazz record. And just as Freedom Now was my first album added from 1960, this is my first from added from 1962! I’m trying to fill in all of these early gaps, and jazz is the way to do it.

We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite by Max Roach (1960)
This feels like a bit of a hidden gem. A classic in certain circles yet still underrated. Now I'm thinking I need to find more vocal jazz.

Seeking Darkness by Huremic (2025)
Very cool little album from this South Korean band. Noisy post-rock. It's been getting praise in music nerd circles but the band is still pretty underground, based on their streaming numbers.

Laughing Stock by Talk Talk (1991)
This one was on my hit list for a while, but I guess I'm post-rock pilled enough to finally appreciate it. I just know it's going to grow further on me… it's a classic for a reason.

I maintain a list of every album that I like back to front. Currently I have 373 of them and now I think I'm gonna start posting here each time a new one gets added. Might give me more motivation to seek out more music.

Your telling me that Rocket Lab (who previously launched a gnome into space at the behest of Gabe Newel) is launching a rocket during The Game Awards… and the mission name is "RAISE And Shine"? To be fair, RAISE-4 is the name of the JAXA satellite on board. Is this the ultimate hope?

Some people say November is sad and boring… but if you’re a Half Life fan, this November has been akin to waiting for the second coming of Christ.

Okay it's also pretty plausible that the announcement will be the 19th, it's within the sales event gap and literally the anniversary for Half Life 1.

Valve hardware announcement today was incredible. I mean, I knew all three of those products were coming but finally seeing them for real… Big year for Valve. And the biggest announcement is yet to come…

The pizza chain near me puts your soda bottles into these plastic bags that must be made out of the same plastic as those produce bags you find on rolls at the grocery store, because they smell exactly the same.

One thing I like about Pokemon GO is getting Pokemon from all over the world via friends and remote raids. I don't think I will ever visit every country on earth myself, but maybe I can at least get a Pokemon from them all.

The Blue Jays may have lost, but a mysterious weed smoking man gave us a cryptic letter that led to a Bluesky based mmo… thing. So I think that’s more important actually.

How did I barely sleep any last night? I got up early for school and went to bed at twelve… even felt super tired. But not much sleep was had. Maybe I really do have insomnia.
