Lists, lists, lists! Everybody seems to love lists. Long and rambling things that don't make any coherent sense without some proper context. So you might be asking, "Hey you pedantic bearded stoner guy, what the hell is it you listen to?" I mean, could be saying that, you're clearly not directly asking this of me. Actually, no, wait, scratch that. You are asking this of me. Every group asks, "So whatcha listen to?!" In some thread. The "vital statistics" portion seems to indicate an importance to generating some list. Here's the kicker, though, none of them provide that much space.
So wait and let's be clear. I don't just go into this whole listening to music thing lightly these days. Make a list of my top five? Shit, I don't think that's even remotely possible. Top ten? We're still in frigid territory here. Given that I am relatively pedantic, take a jog back and read through some of those other posts of mine and just listen to the language, I'm not going to pick one. Hah. But given that I'm prone to these insomniac styled fits and I need something to fill the time between reading I'll make a list. Let's see if I can make it through the list before, you know, saying screw this and posting what I've managed. Hell, let's have an experiment and see if these blog entries can handle this. So here is my current collection, this is just the artists and not albums. If you want to know what I have of any individual one then ask, I swear I don't snarl and bite ... well that's a lie. I swear I won't ... uh ...be ..bad. List, here it is:
