No one sounded like this when it came out, and no one has sounded like it since. Just a singular masterpiece. Such a great album.

So many people have Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks in their top 9, and that strikes me as accurate. I'm not a big Dylan head, and it's probably the one I visited the most.

Did this quickly. Criteria was albums that kicked open a door and that I have a distinct memory of hearing for the first time, in a pretty chronological order from like 11 years old to 44. Really should have added Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and Black Sea by XTC.

Looking forward to this. I got to be an extra on set back in March. No spoilers, but there is a distinct chance I walk in front of Ethan Hawke as he walks into a county fair.

Good Experimental Music: September 2026
This time around we have turntables made of stone, scores from installations, drones that are unafraid to be dramatic, and horns playing with themselves.

It was modern pop country when I went last week. I forget how ubiquitous drum loops are in all forms of music now.

I'll never not write a post-rock crescendo. No matter how hard I push back and do different things, I'll always lean back to it.

I wish I could find a home for these but they hate our clay soil. We got a lot of Lantanas that are still waiting for the monarchs when they finally get here.

Hey! Wanted to share that I'm starting a monthly radio program over on @campradio.bsky.social. Road to Calcination will feature a mix of ambient, drone, experimental. Not music to relax to. Music to be burned by, a little, on the way to whatever comes after ash. First EP Thursday. See you there.

Brian Wilson predicted the future by becoming the first artist to collect a folder of recordings he couldn't figure out how to arrange into a coherent body of work. I bet he would have listened to 8 bar loops that go nowhere for hours too, given the chance.

My favorite thing about listing to an ECM record from the early 70s is the most beautiful, melodically present song will be like 1:30, and this will be followed by a 10 minute free jazz freak out where the drummer is playing a sparse thumb piano or whatever.

Fell in love with New Mexico while on vacation and the urge to just ditch it all, sell the house for a loss, uproot everything and apply for the job opening in Albuquerque that just popped up is very strong right now.
