#20SongsByYear 1995 #MusicChallenge Day 22 - Bohren & Der Club of Gore - "Midnight Radio 3" There are sadly few artists making doom jazz, but I love them all. 😻 Not sure I would have dug this in '95. I dunno, maybe if it had been sold to me as ambient or cinematic? Sure do like it now though!

Some of those numbers are real tough, though there's a big song for 115! πŸ˜‰ I'm gonna break a few more of my self imposed rules in the next week or so before I finally give up. Thanks for coming so far! 🫑

#20SongsByYear 1995 #MusicChallenge Day 21 - Pavement - "Father to a Sister of Thought" I was aware Pavement existed in '95 - the indie kids at school were super into 'em. I was too preoccupied with establishing myself as a metalhead, though, so it'd be a few more years before I checked 'em out...

I've been avoiding using classical music opus numbers so far, but this is a parody of one, so still fair game under my elaborate self imposed restrictions, heh.

I think I picked up this EP at a record store... on a recommendation from staff, maybe? Or it was just super cheap and suited my very meagre budget at the time? These guys shoulda been as big as The Wildhearts! I guess a goofy band name and a tendency for overly erudite lyrics prevented that. 😞

It's generally done in a private room, so you're only with people in your group. There's usually no stage - everyone sits around a table and there are screens all over the place. There are 2 or more mics. It's more of a fun collaborative experience than about specific people giving a performance.

Oh, "rules lawyers" are just regular people that try to act like lawyers when they start playing Dungeons & Dragons or the like, and insist on looking stuff up in the rulebooks rather than going with what's most fun for the story.

It really helps me drift off, not just because it's soothing in and of itself, but because I know that if I _do_ get an attack of insomnia I have something to listen to that will reward me paying attention to it. Knowing that means I'm much less likely to get insomnia in the first place! 😴

The first edition came out in 2005 but they release a new one every couple of years, dropping some stuff off the list and adding some newer stuff! The website just keeps everything that has been in any edition, so there were 1089 albums when I finished, with the most recent entries from 2021.

#20SongsByYear 1995 #MusicChallenge Day 17 - Skyscraper - "Never Again" These guys got a lot of buzz in the UK rock and metal press in 95 and then promptly imploded. I still have quite a bit of affection for their album "Superstate"...

On 9th Oct @markchilds.bsky.social will be turning the first chunk of my #MusicByNumbers #MusicChallenge into a radio show! 😻 I've just been reviewing those picks - it'll be a little eclectic, but I think it might work pretty well! 🀞

Music by Numbers Day 109 "Tropic 109" - Busy Twist Genre: Afro Bass Wasn't sure how to categorize this, but reading up on it, this chap went to Ghana and jammed with a local drumming group, and this is the result, so "Afro Bass" it is! #MusicByNumbers #MusicChallenge

The album was, but this was released as a single in January '95!

#20SongsByYear 1995 #MusicChallenge Day 15 - Skyclad - "Another Fine Mess" Idiosyncratic folk metal with some absolutely top notch lyrics - Martin Walkyier sure does like to squeeze some utility out of a homophone, as demonstrated by the album title, "The Silent Whales of Lunar Sea"...
