[redpoodlern]

Not me coming at you with a bunch of Alternative albums..

1. Tragic Kingdom - No Doubt

2. Weezer (Green Album) - Weezer

3. Plans - Death Cab for Cutie

4. Stadium Arcadium - Red Hot Chili Peppers

5. The Downward Spiral - NIN

And I almost just used this gif on one of the other posts. Oh, let’s see how this goes. 😬

1. Tragic Kingdom- No Doubt: I do remember loving this but I need to just say solo Gwen music annoys me. At first, I liked it. In fact, I saw her in concert. I think with The Black Eyed Peas. I really loved Just a Girl. The sarcasm of being just a girl gets me. But this was such a good album. I also loved World Go ‘Round and You Can Do It in addition to all the singles.

2. Weezer ( Green Album)- Weezer: okay at first glance I don’t recognize any of these. I know I’ve heard many of there songs. I’m not a fan really though. I’m gonna look at their popular songs. Okay. All the songs I know are on their self titled one. Which would be blue. Although Island in the Sun sounds familiar. But I don’t like it.

3. Plans- Death Cab for Cutie: okay. I didn’t think I knew any but I recognize several. I wouldn’t say any were favorites as I didn’t listen to them much.

4. Stadium Arcadian- RHCP: this might be my least favorite album of theirs. Tell Me Baby. It’s so catchy.

5. The Downward Spiral- NIN: okay. I know this one. I absolutely loved Hurt until I heard Johnny Cash’s version and I love his so much better. And yes, hello concept album. I was wondering when another would appear. So Closer.

I really felt useless on this one.

love/hate songs

Since 8tracks is messed up and playmoss is gonna disappear and Spotify doesn't have many songs, I’m posting some of my playlists here. This is a list of songs about love/hate relationships for pairings. Enemies to lovers, tsundere personalities, hero/villain couplings, opposites attract, loving someone you know you shouldn't. This list is several years old so the songs are older and kinda ‘scene.’

Major trigger warnings for the lyrics of these songs. Some songs have violent lyrics. This playlist romanticizes conflict.

me again!

the bunnies have been fed and the meds have been consumed. might go do some art :] or do some homework.... yeah thats unlikely shdjljfjlkfjklfhs

my favorite holiday is this week it is diwali and i am so excited and we had a little celebration for it today and it was fun and i wore a rly pretty dress and it was Yellow and made me Happy and i put on makeup bc Why The Heck Not and then i got lipstick on my mask which i thought was rly funny

i also got lipstick on my juicebox and like. that feels like a metaphor or smth deep, like this grown up thing mixed with a childhood thing... i may have to put that in a poem o.o

i have started a cbenchtrio + cwilbur ghost au thing and i am very hopeful that itll actually go somewhere? which may be misplaced hope but! i want to write it and i have ideas that i think i can work with and stuff so! hopefully i actually manage to finish something i am writing....

i kinda love tumblr asks bc a lot of the time conversations are stressful or make me anxious but with asks theres none of that bc theres not rly as much pressure to respond or carry the conversation? i just kinda put my thoughts in your askbox, read your response and smile, and drop a like to say "hey i read this! ily!" and then sometimes i will respond but theres less Pressure to be able to hold a conversation Correctly TM (and like. theres not rly a correct way to Conversation (verb) but. social anxiety uwu)

OH ONE LAST THING do you know the song Breakfast At Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something? i love that song sm :]

hello stardust again :D

oh thats good !!! and oooo art :]]

OOO DIWALI!!! i will admit that i dont know much about it, but i stumbled into a celebration at the beach last year and god it was BEAUTIFUL. i dont know the specifics or anything, and my memory of last year (particularly this time of year) is realllly bad, but i think i remember lanterns? i remember it was colourful and candles and stuff and it was SO COOL AAAA <33 and YELLOW DRESS and MAKEUP so fun!!! :DDD

ohhh... lipstick on a juicebox,,, that is very poetic indeed :O it would be nice in a poem i think. (sidenote: do you ever have those moments where its jsut like??? DAMN that was poetic. my life is so poetic. i guess you do because you just told me of one but it happens to me a lot and im just like woah :OOO and then i put it in a song lyric JDFSKJDSF)

OOO HOW FUN :OO if you do write it i will be very excited to read!! or even if you dont want to write it and simply want to ramble about your idea, feel free to bounce ideas off me via asks or dms!! id love to hear about it :]]]

SAME I LOVE TUMBLR ASKS FOR THIS,,,, its like leaving someone a little note except you get to see their response!! no pressure to keep the conversation going, just a little hey i thought of you hope youre well heres a little thing just for you <3 wish i had something like this irl ashdfkj

i DO!!!! that song is in the same genre of nostalgia to me as like,,,,, the dumb & dumber soundtrack + like. the blue weezer album (also the nightmare before christmas and edward scissorhands soundtracks) because my mom used to play them a lot when i was little :] good memoires :D

Best of 2019 a.k.a. A New Way of Listening to Music

Hello, everyone. Here are some thoughts on the music I listened to in 2019. My listening trends in 2019 stayed pretty much the same as they did in 2018- Most of the albums I loved were written and performed by women... Most of the albums I loved fell somewhere on the wide spectrum of guitar-based music, with a little bit of electronic stuff here and there. What changed was the way I listened to music. Whereas in the past I listened to whatever came my way, whenever it came my way, in 2019 I tried to focus on one or two albums a week. From late-January through the end of November, I highlighted one album every week on my Instagram page. There were only a couple of weeks I missed or that I highlighted an old album instead of a new one. I found myself listening to full albums on repeat and really getting into every song. The result is an end-of-year list that is free from my perception of outside expectations. All of my past lists have been made with this voice in my head that wants to move albums up or down on the list based on whether it was well-reviewed or not, or whether or not my friends and family (especially those whose opinions on music I revere) might judge me for liking a record too much, or, more likely, not liking a record enough. The 2019 list is free of those anxiety-driven choices, and as a result, it was one of my favourite lists I've ever put together. If you listen to a song that I've highlighted here, I encourage you to buy or stream the album (but especially buy it) and take in the whole thing. -Jenksy As always, I'm kicking off the list with my Most Disappointing Album of the Year. It's the only album on the list I write anything about- not because it deserves to be roasted, but because you don't really have to justify liking a piece of art, but you should always be able to talk about why you dislike it. Following that are my favourite EPs of the year, then the Top 50. The Most Disappointing Album of 2019

Weezer - Weezer (Black Album) I feel like I've given Weezer a lot more leeway than most have done in the last 10-15 years. While they've put out some good records and some bad records in that span, I've always tried to accept the music as Weezer being Weezer. Just because they've put out some critically adored albums doesn't mean they can't have fun. Their pop-rock vibes don't bother me, and I don't try to compare everything they do to Pinkerton or the Blue Album. I'm saying all this so you know that I like this band, and have done for most of my life, and I think they will make a good album again. However, the Black Album is not a good album. I can't even hesitate in calling it terrible. It lacks emotion and is too crisp and clean. It's driven by words that don't mean anything and music that wants to be catchy instead of interesting. Hopefully they bounce back, but the Black Album is easily the lowest they've fallen, musically. EPs

Outdated ways of listening to music, ranked

Not to be too "old man yells at cloud," but I realized the other day that the average freshman entering college this fall probably has no idea what it's like to not have any song they want to hear available within moments.

These lucky individuals will never know the torment of waiting half an hour for one 30-second clip of the new Weezer single to load over that 28.8k modem connection, praying no one calls to interrupt the transfer so you can finally — finally — hear that sweet music that sounded like it was played through a bad AM radio dropped down a running garbage disposal. 

SEE ALSO: How Phish became the unlikely heroes of digital music streaming

But in the late 1990s that was the life. That was the future. I once spent almost four hours downloading a single song — a cruddy .WAV rip of a new R.E.M. song — that I then played through two cruddy computer speakers with a microphone hooked up to my dad's tape deck sandwiched in-between, just to have the song on a cassette. 

I thought I was a genius. "IT'S SO GREAT," I'd proclaim over the din, "THE FUTURE IS AMAZING. JUST LISTEN TO THIS. AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE MY HOUSE."

Now I can have any song playing within 10 seconds of picking it, no matter where I am. 

Sometimes you have to look back to appreciate how terrible even the most state-of-the-art advancements were at the time. So I did. Here you'll find a ranking of seven ways we've listened to music in the last 25 years or so. It's a shout-out to the tools we used before the likes of Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora. 

This isn't exhaustive by any means (the world was flooded with software and apps ... and probably always will be). Just wait another 25 years, when Blue Ivy's comeback album is streamed directly into our skulls nanoseconds after we think about it. 

7. Microsoft Zune

You were too beautiful for this world, Zune.

Image: Getty Images

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Sorry, had to get that out of my system. The Zune remains one of tech's biggest flops, at least since the year 2000, if not ever. 

When it was released in 2006, Microsoft's personal music player tried to horn in on a market that was already becoming saturated with Apple's superior and sleeker iPod, which had hit shelves years earlier.

If the Zune was destined to play catch-up, then the infamous "Leap Year" bug that bricked a certain model of the device at the end of 2008 was probably the final weight that dragged any hope to a halt.  

The device developed a cult following, but that didn't raise it above the level of the Newton of the new millennium. 

6. Minidisc

It's like a CD player but with an option to record. And smaller. And more expensive. And much harder to find. Like Betamax was to VHS, the Minidisc player offered a lot of advantages over cassettes, which it was aiming to replace, and compact discs, the other emerging technology. 

But, as with Betamax, the Minidisc wasn't as cheap as its competitors, a factor that helped lead to its eventual demise after repeated efforts to rebrand it. 

5. RealPlayer

RealPlayer lives to this day, but I best remember its original incarnation, which allowed you to stream audio and video files straight from the web before Spotify and YouTube. In a way, RealPlayer was ahead of its time, one of the first to offer users this ability. 

Two old versions of the Real Player

Image: Archive.org

However, my experiences were not always great. (That was more a product of circumstance than indicative of poor player quality.) Since it debuted before high-speed internet become affordable and widely available, streams often lagged and sputtered. And coming before more compressed forms of audio and video became widespread, music often sounded like a messy AM-quality version. 

The company seems to have a warmer memory of the software than I and other users do. But, credit where it's due for being there early. 

4. Discman

Compact discs on the go! I'll always remember having to haul at least one small binder of CDs every time I traveled with my Discman, and then having to hold the portable player as I walked. 

Eventually, I figured out how to wrap the Discman in a T-shirt and leave it in my backpack, stretching the headphones out to keep listening even while I walked. I'd have to stop and dig back in to switch out CDs every so often. When it became easier to burn your own mix CDs, that meant less CD swaps, but it didn't do away with the skipping or bulky size of the Discman itself.

Look, it's not that I'm not grateful for having a Discman. I could listen to it on the go, plug it into a stereo, or even plug it into my car and listen to it over an unused FM frequency (hello, static) when I drove all over the place in college. For those of you who are under 20 years of age, we really did have some incredibly weird ways of listening to music in our cars.  

3. Walkman

True story: When I began running on a regular basis in 2004, I was too poor to afford an iPod, and running with a Discman is pretty much impossible due to its awkward size and the fact that the CD would skip endlessly. 

Ah, my beloved.

Image: Sony

So I bought a cassette Walkman, even though this was the same year the Walkman included a line of MP3 players (again, steep prices). It was small enough to fit in my hand while I ran, and the earphones were relatively unobtrusive. 

Plus, for longer runs, it was easy to flip my mixtape over and keep running, no fumbling with discs. And at this time, there were 120-minute cassette tapes to far outlast any 70-minute mixtape I could put together.

Say what you will about cassettes and Walkmans becoming obsolete. For a small window in the early 2000s before iPods and everyone had smartphones, they still had a purpose.

Or at least they did for me, and this my list, so here we are.

2. Napster

Oh, Napster. You were trouble from the start, but you pushed music into the digital age.

Image: Getty Images

The music industry was dragged into the digital music era thanks to Napster, which allowed us to download tons of MP3s from our favorite bands and listen to them right then and there. 

Sure, it was illegal as hell, but it was so easy to use and flooded with music you wanted. (There were several downsides.) Still, there's no under-selling the impact Napster had when it debuted. 

A whole lot of digital ink has been spilled talking about Napster, including on this site right here. But it brought MP3s to the masses and forced the music industry to get its act together. It spurred on imitators galore, was eventually shut down and forced to go legit, and, in 2011, it merged with Rhapsody. 

It might have been doomed from the start, but for a few fleeting moments, we saw the future.

1. Winamp

Oh, Winamp. You were the King of Music Listening Software for a good chunk of my college years and even into grad school in the early 2000s, especially before I moved from PC to Mac. 

In the pre-iTunes era, Winamp was the ultimate in playback software for MP3s for quality, ease of use, and the ability to play live audio streams. Video playback made for nice versatility, as did the fun skins you could download to customize the look and feel of the player.

Thanks to its flexibility — supporting an incredible range of sound files from MP3 to FLAC to AAC — pretty much anything you had on your computer could be played through Winamp. And its playlist function was superb, an easy way to make hours-long lists of jams for parties or just hanging out in your dorm room. 

I wasn't the only one. Winamp hit a peak of 60 million users by 2001. 

And, oh, those visualizations. Talk about great ways to spend time holed up in your dorm room...

Nullsoft, the company that created Winamp, was purchased by AOL in 1999 for a bundle of cash ($80 million), but it was shuttered in 2013 and then sold in 2014. There is a web-based version of the player you could check out for old time's sake, if you want.

In the end, many associated with the software blamed AOL mismanagement for dooming Winamp to the scrapheaps of history and preventing it from evolving into something that could have competed with iTunes or even a streaming music service.

It's a damn shame. Rather than having an interesting competitor to those services with built-in audience loyalty, we're left to look back fondly and remember what was.

“Oh, We’re Halfway There!”

It’s been over a year. 

This gem of an idea has transformed into a monolith.

Some weeks, the albums fly by, and there’s a frequent tinge of excitement the moment a new album starts.

Some weeks, I cannot listen to the albums fast enough. I surround myself with housework or dive down the rabbit hole of Facebook and just let the music coast in the background.

There are weeks when the blog comes naturally and an album or a story jumps out at me and compels me to write. Other weeks, I slug about, penning cynical paragraphs that never end up making the final cut; finding myself all too objective in a purely subjective world.

I like the framework of the project and my self-imposed, dictatorial adherence to the rules brings comfort and stability. But then Brand New puts out a new (and potentially final) album and I know I won’t be able to listen to it for at least a couple of months because it begins with the letter “S.”

And if I hit a letter with an excessive amount of albums, my podcast queue grows to a seemingly unconquerable size and my anxiety about not having enough time doubles.  

Despite all this, I know that, when all the letters are completed, and the final album spills into my earbuds, my immediate thought will be, “Okay. What next?”

So let’s see what I’ve accomplished so far. Here are the Top 100 contenders for the letters “A-M.”
