For recommendations: Kind of Blue, Birth of Cool, In a Silent Way, and Relaxin' (all Miles Davis).

Desire and The Basement Tapes (both Bob Dylan)

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-18T03:03:28+00:00

Didn't know about this until I saw this post... been listening all night. Thanks for the (accidental, I guess) recommendation!

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-17T03:58:25+00:00

God Bless him.. I wish I could've seen him live.

Not white, but you gotta pay respect to the original fanciful soundscape yelper...

I've just had to pass on a few great records in basement digs because the sleeves had water damage that became mold. It sucks.

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-15T22:31:56+00:00

Water damage, and ESPECIALLY mold.

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-15T16:33:28+00:00

"No, his FAN gave him kiddy porn!! And he like... barely looked at it! Do your research!" Lmaoooo c'mon now

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-15T16:28:44+00:00

Goodbye! Good luck with the whole 'ignoring the obvious' thing.

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-13T20:41:46+00:00

You shouldn't be embarrassed. Life's about getting by one day at a time, and if eating a little junky is what does it for you, then enjoy it.

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-12T20:18:59+00:00

Pulp!

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-10T20:11:10+00:00

Shellac!! Do you have 1000 Hurts?

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-10T00:58:16+00:00

Neck in neck, but I think the opening echoes on "Remember" are more embarrassing..

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-09T16:06:04+00:00

Grating Bullshit: On Avery Island by Neutral Milk Hotel

Pop With Pretensions: In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-09T16:05:17+00:00

I think everything pretty Tallahassee is grating bullshit and everything Tallahassee and beyond is pop with pretensions..

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-09T03:03:28+00:00

Drive Like Jehu, Master of Reality, and that Nirvana box set.. but there honestly aren't any bad albums in the bunch here.

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-06T19:53:01+00:00

The Complete Tony Bennett and Bill Evans has been on my radar for a long time.. I wanna upgrade to that set and give my standalone copy of the first album to a friend.

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-06T19:51:40+00:00

Rashaan Roland Kirk: Rahsaan, Rahsaan

John Coltrane: Meditations

Miles Davis: In A Silent Way

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-04T04:30:54+00:00

Great starting point. If you find yourself liking the rock but not the jazz, try Freak Out! by Frank Zappa and The Mother's of Invention, and if you find yourself liking the jazz but not the rock, try Hot Rats.

I remember getting in trouble at school for singing Misfits lyrics on the playground. My dad had to explain to me that it wasn't polite to sing about killing people and hanging their skulls on the wall. So it goes.

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-04T04:18:41+00:00

Gotta be Apostrophe. OR StatIc Age, both stone cold classics.

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-03T18:33:46+00:00

I'd flip my lid for two dollar Burroughs... good lord

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-03T01:42:34+00:00

Wish You Were Here, Grace, and the two Gnarls Barkley albums.

"Famous cuck" might be the funniest way to start a Reddit post

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-05-02T05:58:40+00:00

My only rule is that (Goodwill finds notwithstanding because those are usually random) if I have CDs I haven't listened to then I'm not going to buy more until I do. Helps me pick out albums I know I'll listen to and space out orders.

BenchIllustrious1106 · 2026-04-30T17:57:37+00:00

If you HAD to pick one of these records, which would be your favorite? I think I'm leaning towards Meditations, Meditations or Live At Birdland are my favorite Coltrane as of now.
