This page is for the music I like!

albums are roughly in artist order, will eventually be randomized & sortable!

notes:this colormeans I own it on CD, andthis colormeans I own it on vinyl. I'll figure out a cassette color soon.

This album is near and dear to my heart. When my husband and I first met each other, this is the album we'd listen to together. It was a fresh album, and a fresh relationship which worked out perfectly. We saw him with a live set in Miami.

96 Quite Bitter Beings, Disengage the Simulator, Knee Deep

It's hard to pick a favorite from any cKy. This is the first band I got into as a younger kid, watching Jackass on MTV at midnight and divulging in skate culture. I think I know every song from them by heart. A band I will never get to see live in their prime.

This was the first King Gizz album I listened to. I liked the easy concept of an album called Quarters to have 4 songs at 10 minutes 10 seconds each, with similar riffs and progressions so that it all flows together.

Did you know?

Music sampling is reusing a part of a song (taking a literal "sample"; a snippet) and using it in a new song. It seems like a lot of people don't even know this side of music, considering hip-hop doesn't get much positive recognition. Once you realize how much these artists appreciated older music, you'll want to listen to the older music too!

**this will also be randomized**

Every year, I like to pick one album that stood out to me. The only requirement is that it has to be an album released in the same year. Usually, they end up having a majority of favorite tracks.
