Substack...

So i signed up there like a week ago. There's a "Podcast feature even on there, although I suspect to make 1, I'd have to use Audacity to record it with music clips.

Here's my first "Note"

 I’m a fan of John Pratt’s radio show “WDGY Wayback Wonders” on Saturday nights. On the show is a featured Week of an historical year of the WDGY Survey (and AT40 even?) of the songs from that specific time.

With all of the calendars I’ve researched and made recently, it crossed my mind the other day, could I make a podcast of a similar format?

Maybe on Mixcloud? The copyright issue almost always is the biggest issue. That and required time to produce it. I even thought, I could just record my own, for my own enjoyment and even dictation.

Playing full songs? or just playing clips and getting to play retro dj? And maybe a bit like The Album Years Podcast, it might be random years.

Should it only be for music released around said week/month/year? maybe, at least open it up beyond just the week though.

Food for thought…

The word "CRINGE" is a VERB. It never has been, and never will be an ADJECTIVE.

CRINGEY is an ADJECTIVE

"CRINGE WORTHY" also can be used to DESCRIBE something.

But the word C-R-I-N-G-E is NOT a FUCKING ADJECTIVE. It's a VERB. A VERB A VERB.

It's AN ACTION.

Superbowl 59

 Will likely always be just a unforgettable footnote.

Terrible game, from 2 boring teams.

Awful waste of time of a Halftime show.

Let's get something straight...

 Dumpy did NOT win in a Landslide or even DECISIVELY.

He won by a small MARGINAL amount.

Skousen 2,754

Others 19,625

So from a NUMBERS standpoint, he only got 2.84 million more votes which is just under 1.5%. And among the SWING STATES which in truth did and does decide the election based on Electoral College concerns, he only received just under 2.4% more votes.

1.5% 

and

2.4% in the most important races.

Electoral College

Trump 312 57.99%

Harris 226 42.00%

86 more EC votes which is 15.99%. Yeah that is closer to "Decisive" however, if you look at the margins in the Swing States, some of those were pretty close, so much so, to call those "decisive" does not fly for me and many others (also someday we may find out Trump and Musk manipulated the results).

If Harris were to have won (or even a recount was done) on those closest 4 Swing States, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which were all between .086%-2.19% difference, she gets 60 more EC votes to 286 and wins.

I mean it's semantics, "Decisive" vs "Marginal" but if  this win is considered "Decisive" than BIDEN's was a LANDSLIDE. Or better, Obama in both 2008 and 2012 were massive Landslides. But while those were, especially the 2 Obama wins were definitely DECISIVE without a doubt wins, this Trump win, was a lot closer than those. 

I mean taking just the Popular vote, Biden beat Trump by more than Trump beat Harris then. So, the Biden win was more DECISIVE and clear-cut.

The fact those Swing States were basically pick-ems and Dumpy won all 7 will likely always question how free and fair this election was.

Now we just need him to get removed and deal with Vance until January 2029.

When You Feel Like Your Taste is in No Man's Land

Been feeling this way for ages, but maybe more so relatively recently.

Bands I love, champion and try to promote, just don't do much or get a comparison that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Pepe Deluxe is a big one. I get it, they are inspired by and similar to some of these genre-blending artists that are only appealing to a certain demographic.

Mr. Bungle of course. Thrash Metal meets Ska and Pop with even some quasi-rapping? and older styles (50's/60's lounge?) and Soundtracks.

Pepe Deluxe don't fit all of that exactly, but the DJ element and quirky style just doesn't work for many including progressive rock fans. Why? well, for one, many progressive rock fans are much like pop fans, rap fans, metal fans, etc..their tastes and open-mindedness and patience isn't all that high.

They like their prog a certain way, it has to have certain things, otherwise, no thanks.

Small Leaks Sink Ships, similarly, I find them brilliant and unique sounding. Their vocals are kind of odd and quirky, but not over the top weird. And the songs have a lot to discover. But progressive rock fans, even people who enjoy "indie" etc stuff, don't find them impressive and immediately engaging.

It's like so many of these music fans have short attention spans, so even if they might like their music with time, they'll never give their music enough time to know.

I suppose I am guilty of that somewhat as time is a valued commodity, and honestly, I am much more attached to Talk Radio and podcasts/YouTube than even investing a certain number of hours with many albums I have yet to hear or hear enough times.

But it doesn't change the frustration and just apathetic feeling about others liking music I love if it's not well known enough.

Even Bend Sinister. They are hardly super niche sounding, but, they're from Canada and they channel Classic Rock too much for some people. Maybe it's just there's too many other bands and albums for them to compete with, i dunno.

I really do want to try and make those shorts with clips for Facebook and Instagram and maybe TikTok. Although I don't think TikTok has the ability to add from a music database like Instagram and Facebook does. 

I wish there was a way to access the database of song clips online. And I sadly have concluded, it's only available on a Phone of course. So, what I likely will want to do is some combination of shooting a brief clip or image of my physical copies on my Phone and then upload it via the phone. I just am skeptical if a lot of super obscure music is available on there like Distrails or Brice Plays Drums or something. Maybe a lot of them are. A lot of Kevin Gilbert's music of course is not, but Toy Matinee and Thud are at least.

But finding a long if not complete list of the database of clips Instagram and Facebook have I don't know if is available. It might be worth posing to somewhere on Reddit actually.

Because I sort of envision doing like a Short/Story of a Song of the Day or Song from an Album of the Day at least. or more ideally, 5 great songs from 2005, etc and then include a pic or video showing the 5 albums (vinyl or cds likely) and then it plays a clip from all 5 in the short. Aka a REEL of course.

Ideally, that would work, but I'm thinking more practically, it'll just have to be 1 song from 1 album or just 1 song per clip. But if it works, so be it. Beggars can't be choosers.

Afa as all the Projects..MPAR Calendars..my immediate plan is to do 2008 and then 2009, likely 2 videos for each year given the length. And then take a break. 

I will then likely go back to the CD's A-Z.

And maybe, just maybe I will also start the Movies of the Year.

The Kevin Gilbert Shaming Tracks series will be anticipated. Massive deal, but a super labor of love much like the Thud Tracks. It will all be contingent on when the Shaming Multi-Disc arrives.

Yes, 2024 AOTY video is coming, probably next week. And there's a laundry list of albums that will be MIA.

And a 2025 Preview video. Unsure if the Calendars will be done again or at least as often. Maybe just QUARTERLY + anticipation (which felt like a lot of REHASH doing this year at times)

And the thing I proposed towards the end of the Prog Corner's Sunday stream last week of a Top Albums of the 2020's So Far now that we are 5 full years-into the decade,

I'll make a video for that, and if someone else doesn't do 1, I should create a topic on the DTF and maybe Reddit for it.

I can say though, my belief for years now, 2000's > 2010's > 2020's

And there's a big gap between the 2010's and 2020's. Granted, it's only 5 years in for the 2020's and we have 5 more years left. And of course there's a lot of 2020's albums I have yet to hear, that I may in the next 5 years+ anyway. But no, as of right now for my taste, the 2020's is a big dip in depth. I'd love to be wrong or off, but the 2020's could for me, very likely be the lightest decade for favorites and great albums since the 1960's actually. But we'll see in fairness. At the end of 2029 or in 2030 2031, I may not feel that way.

The Social part of YouTube continues to kind of get to me as well (FP's). 423 Subscribers and I make those epic MPAR and AOTY videos and barely anyone watches them. They still have value to me, even just for dictation. But it goes back to is YouTube fully worth my time and effort? 

I do still want to make a MPAR doc or doc series. Voiceover and using stock footage or pics, but you know instead of having the ambition of doing 5 year periods and whatnot. I should try and just make 1 video that just scratches the surface. Maybe talk about 5 albums only. Or maybe 10.

And I sadly MUST write a script for it.

But it's something that to put on expectations from a time frame standpoint is maybe not best. It could be made in a year, it could 10 or more years. I suppose if I actually didn't need to work. You know, the day I reach retirement in 19 years or whatever, I could at that point in 2044 or whatever, give the needed time to actually be able to create 1 given my lack of work hours obligation.

That's also assuming I'm alive and not suffering physically too much to be able to.

I dunno, maybe the Calendars and like a Playlist. Then maybe Ranking Videos actually. But if I do them, I guess I would limit them to a Top 10+ HM's maybe. Maybe that'll be it and maybe I go back to just writing about MPAR instead.

That was my original plan anyway. And maybe it's just in this fucking blog. No book deal, etc. Just in here for now. I dunno.

I just feel Modern progressive Art (and Atmospheric) Rock deserves a documented story, and I'm 1 of like 3 or 4 people who could tell it. And I would like it to be done and then out there to be discovered by current and future music listeners, 20, 50 even 100+ years from now. And if I don't do it soon, it may never be done (or it'll be done by someone in a few decades who was not around when it was happening).

Also I wish I could curate my own radio station. It may seem kind of silly, but i could sort of do a fantasy/fictional Playlist. Spotify and/or YouTube I suppose. I dunno, maybe Internet Radio could be in my future at some point like my friend Rai on Wild Dogs Radio. That fantasy of a Station that throughout every week, would play songs from a different year around the clock. Every hour, a different year, the following year, etc. Hypothetical, but it would be neat.

5-star Albums compared to RYM Average Rating

 The other day on the rateyourmusic subreddit, someone brought up how many of your "Masterpiece" albums (5-stars?) does rym have an avergae rating at 3.30 or lower? I only found 1, but actually I missed a couple. It just had me wondering what they all are rated at on rateyourmusic. Which of course is hardly the be-all-and-end-all and changes/gets updated regularly.

But it's interesting to look at.

I have approximately 58 5-star albums (a few on this list below I would lump-in together like KG's Nuts/Bolts + maudlin of the Well Bath/Leaving Your Body Map. And I really don't consider The Dear Hunter's The Color Spectrum 5-stars, but whatever, I did at 1 time anyway).

The Divided States of America

 It's what Trump wanted.

If I could leave the country, I would totally do it.

My best optimism is Trump's removed per the 25th Amendment, at least within the 1st 2 years of his term, if he's not before then. He could quite easily become so far gone and demented, Congress and the Senate will not have a choice.

President Vance until January 2029, doesn't sound much better, but anything would be better than Dumpy.

However, regardless at the point Dumpy is gone, the fact likely will be70+million people reside in the Divided States of America and could easily try and bring on another candidate who will do mostly the same abhorrent approach to the country. 

At least a percentage of the people who 

a) Didn't vote

b) Voted for Trump

c) Voted 3rd  Party

including those who made the Palestinian stance a priority and didn't consider how supporting Russia taking over Ukraine and potentially the rest of the Eastern Block and even more are going to very likely regret and ruin what they did here.

Their staying home, giving a Protest vote, or thinking of purely how the economy and a misguided perception of the border is going be fixed by Dumpy, is in-effect likely the be the opposite. Tariffs? yeah, we very likely will head back into a Recession if not worse. And those pea-brains who blamed the now lowering-inflation numbers on Biden..yeah yal are gonna be eating some mother-fucking-crow.

It wasn't Kamala's Bad Campaign..it was people staying home and not being impressed by her and the Misogynistic, Racist population in the DSoA couldn't vote for a Woman or a Black Woman to be president. Even if they didn't vote for Dumpy, they indirectly did in that the NUMBERS WERE NEEDED TO OUTWEIGH THE CULT.

155 Millions voted in 2020. Biden Won. The Strength in Numbers showed.

As of 8:25AM 11/6/24 139,121,153 reported Votes. With Nevada and Arizona not officially called.

41 Million Gen Z voters alone were newly elgible. 

edit: 8.9 million, so be it tho.

345,426,571 Total Population of the DSoA (Mid Summer 2024)

approximately 78.% lof the Population is 18 years or older = 269,432,725 DSoA 18 or older are conceivably eligible to vote.

269,432,725 - 139,121,153 = 130,311,572 WHO HAVE/DID NOT VOTE. Or at this point around 48.4%.

48%+ Didn't even Vote. Nearly half the eligible population. And while the 155 Million that voted in 2020 was only 60% of the approx eligible who voted, that is approximately 8% less than in 2020.

8%, while hardly a massive % of people. very easily would prove the true Will of the People. But those 130 million people who didn't even vote obviously didn't despise Dumpy enough to care. And are not happy enough with how the DSoA has recovered from COVID and what she said in her campaign.

FUCK EM ALL (this is art!)..and yet both the Divided States of America and also the Globe (Climate Change? yeah, Dumpy and his mindless administration aren't gonna help) are in-turn being Fucked over as well.

And History is going to show that.

Concerts Ranked By Artist/Band (Incomplete)

This is basically an (14 years later) Update of This LIST on my rateyourmusic page 

But it is a semi-accurate ranking of all the artists/bands I've seen and how many times. However the Local Names, the number is not really close to accurate (I've see Dean Magraw likely 30 or more times, and Greg Herriges maybe 20 or more alone. The Cloud Cult number is also likely off by a bit).
