#MusicChallenge #ArtistFave15 Matt Jaffe @mattjaffe.bsky.social RECAP I’m not great with fancy graphics and if I were, I’m still too busy right now to be able to do that! (I feel bad saying that knowing that Matt’s a nice guy and I’ve had some good back-and-forth messes with him elsewhere.)
I very much disapprove of the ID of CDs being put in cardboard things instead of real plastic cases I suffered through an apartment kitchen fire recently and had sprinklers go off, and this whole box is all just losses things that fuse together because of bad cardboard cases and improper packaging
This is the current one. There’s a list of captions growing for these photos. You can’t have fun like that with boring digital calendars. (The idea this month is that that squirrel is leaping away from February as quickly as possible)
I’ll do a recap. Here’s a YT playlist: youtube.com/playlist?lis... Lest I repeat it several times, I generally prefer the acoustic versions over versions with rap or prepubescent versions. Recap, extended:
#2025FavSingles Hey #MusicChallenge community! Who knows if this’ll work, but I wanna try it. Lots of us have been posting year-end lists. I am sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t always take the time to play everything I’ve never heard of. So… here’s my challenge to you all:
And I’ve included a screen shot listing it all. Enjoy! This has been a blast.
This one. Now, I can’t honestly understand the lyrics - not a language I speak - but I’m told the title translates to “wrong number” - that fits! Damn catchy. Much as I value lyrics, I guess I can not understand ‘em and find the sound, the vibe, etc. of a song a win.
Post your Lock Screen thing going around… Custom House, Boston Took me nearly 14 years to get a pic of it I was truly satisfied with!
Ahhhh.. the glorious over packaging that was the CD long box of the early 90s… 😁
I have no means of using these, but I have them. 🤷🏻♂️ Found a stack of paper versions of charts from ‘92-‘94 too. Prob answers some questions I’ve had in recent months. Stashed with the binder full of charts for now though.
#ArtistFave15 Yellowcard I’m not gonna stall this trying to create a fancy graphic - some of you do amazing ones - but here’s my text recap:
#ArtistFave15 Yellowcard For the next one, I'm doing Yellowcard! This one encompasses the whole career (more precisely, the period both Ryan and Sean have been involved), save for leaving off the Oct. 10 album release to avoid recency bias.
Hey, all #MusicChallenge / #musicsky people! I’ve decided a #newmusicchallenge is in order for December. Announcing now to give you prep time. I’ve doing lists like this - with varied audiences - for years & been excited about them. Let’s have fun! (A few other thoughts in thread below 👇🏻)
This was the other bit from that book relating to Marie getting to the point of remembering lyrics again as she was recovering. I found it interesting. Couldn’t cite a page number, but I can say it was 2023-09-01 when I snapped this pic - 🤷🏻♂️ - and I found it yesterday. 🙂
And I’m seeing I should’ve made a next graphic like several of you, but…
Someone on YouTube had an "I fixed Swag" video recently. The concept -- 44 tracks is too many. My take...
Hopefully participating in this won’t break the continuity of scrolling through current list on my page. Here’s a special one. Dec 4, ‘05, Paradise Rock Club, Boston, when I discovered Brandi Carlile as an opener. Now that she’s so prolific, I’m sure I’d never get that close to the stage again!
Probably HOM(backwards)R “You people do nothing but play god, and think your octoparrot would agree!” 😃
#ArtistFaveLP Edovann - Bubblegum World Thought about this challenge for a bit - and - the choice is the album I've played the most this year, but is a few years old, hence I technically cannot rank it among year-end albums, but it'd be up there. (Bought this in January.)
Last four albums I listened to. #last4albums Edovann - Bubblegum World Bad Suns - Accelerator Troye Sivan - Something To Give Each Other Justin Bieber - Swag
