FOR REFERENCE: I'm not a guy. I'm not a girl. I'm agender. My pronoun is singular they.

There are a lot of albums that I like that many other people hate, and vice versa. I really don't know why. I just listen to whatever sounds good, and I don't take what other people consider "classic" into consideration. That's the only true way to appreciate music, if you ask me.

"Multiple" means I own it on both CD and vinyl. I wish you could choose more than one on here so it wasn't so vague.

If you don't know how to appreciate fun music, or if you consider "pop" to be an insult, I'm sorry, but I want absolutely nothing to do with you. Similarly, if you really, really like The Smiths and/or Radiohead, we might manage to get along, but there would be a high risk of problems in our future together.

My ratings are in a constant state of flux. Nothing horribly dramatic—several of my 5s aren't going anywhere, but occasionally I feel the need to re-rate an album that I may have been a bit hasty to rate in the past. Admittedly, most of these re-ratings are albums that lose stars, although you will occasionally see an album gain stars if I feel an album has potential, but doesn't fully convince me until I listen to it several times.

My singles account is fierystage.

(also, I just restored my old popcorn rating system back to my movie ratings. Appropriate, no?)

    So true. Thing is I've been worried about that ever since he went off the scene a few years ago because of "health problems." :( I'm just glad I got to see him once, and that he left such a wealth of amazing music behind. Mad props to that man, he left us far too soon.

    ...But it's been too long Cat, lets talk about something positive too. What's your favorite thing you've been listening to lately?

    Haha, wouldn't have seen that one coming. But cool. Can't say I've ever been a big Genesis person, nowadays the closest stuff to prog I listen to is more minimal Berlin-school-esque electronic stuff. Lately I've been obsessed with this girl Astronautica who makes really bass heavy and slow dance music with lots of ambience and syrupy guitars and stuff. Really good for chilling and drifting off to sleep.

    I hear you're in Paris now? I am jealous. Incredibly beautiful city, obviously. I'm still in Oakland, which is, you know, less beautiful. No complaints though.

    Beautiful review of Brothers in Arms. Really captures what music can do to people. I only know the first three songs and the title track but I will definitely listen to it in full now.

    I was at a funeral yesterday for a friend who died way too young and they played Brothers in Arms (the song) while showing a slideshow of his pictures, and I instantly recognised the intro and immediately thought: 'OK, here come the tears' and also 'This song is gonna be ruined forever', yet, here I am listening to it. So yep, you've pretty much nailed it. Thanks.

    I literally knew that that would happen if you ever saw the list. Sorry :(

    If I ever make a list about the band, I'll call it "Cinema."

    Jmm, I wanted to know how do you like the new Destroyer album, I think it's great, even as an album, better than Rubies.

    Strongly disagree with you on Fables of the Reconstruction, but cheers on a great review of Lifes Rich Pageant.
