So last week I cleared out everything I had on my iPod. Every single song I had been listening to for the last 2 years. I decided that jsut listening to heavy metal and the mountain goats everytime I walked somewhere was getting boring, so I proposed myself a change. SOme people do this shit for lent, bu I don't think I timed it right.
Anyways, I loaded it up with a bunch of albums I downloaded solely of artists I had never listened to before (or listened to so little that I was completely unfamiliar). It is a lot of fun. So far I've found out that Sleep Terror is awesome, and Ephel Duath kind of sucks. Sebadoh is not too bad but no one song has made me go "holy shit that is amazing must listen 100x"

Panda Bear
Sebadoh
Aphex Twin
Scott Walker

comments/suggestions? Be aware that I will download anything that piques my curiousity enough I will get, so even if it is something really obvious ike some of these, maybe I haven't listened to it before

just Transformer. I've had the album for a while, but I never really gave it the time of day.

Tell us what you think of Aphex Twin vs. Squarepusher.
bleep bloop?
Mowbs- I haven't heard too many Dr. O tracks (just 2 or so) and they were good enough, but nothing that made me jump up and go "Damn." I'll give it more of a chance before I ditch it, though

what is Thelonious Monk like? Anthony Kiedis mentions them a lot in his auto-biography
you shouldn't take any recommendations ever from someoneas stupid as kiedis, but Thelonius Monk plays a mean fine piano

tempered by the speaker, of course. What I've heard of Transformer has always been a little slow and dare I say almost dull. I certainly wouldn't call it perfect, but it is pretty pleasant I suppose. Then again, I've never really been able to sit through the whole thing in one listen, so I'll do that a few times before judging it either way. What I've heard just hasn't "wow"'d me

I don't want to listen to any of my old stuff. This way I can't.
edit: It is not so much an issue of willpower as it is one of the fun of total immersion
