thread has me digging through rym's ep charts - a lot of dross there because there's no distinction between eps of original material and cut-down versions of, say, the fourth led zeppelin album, but cut those out and the charts are more interesting than the lp charts

Dom Passantino otm upthread
I think I was born too late to fully appreciate the EP as an art form. typically I'll listen to multiple (downloaded) EPs and singles by an artist in quick succession without making an effort to take them in as discrete units. I run into the same problem when I listen to EP collections or EPs included as bonus tracks on albums, unless I take the time to chop them up into separate releases in my library. I only own a handful of EPs on CD. these are all pretty solid though:
Marika Hackman - Deaf HeatDif Juz - HuremicsThe Dance - Dance For Your DinnerChandra - TransportationThrowing Muses - The Fat SkierBlackalicious - MelodicaCranes - Self-Non-SelfPauline en la Playa - Nada como el hogarAnnie - A&RMy Favorite - A Cult of OneThe Carousel - Sorrow Is the Way to LovePram - Meshes

When were you born? The idea of an "EP" has definitely changed, rappers eg. often call full length albums eps
― albvivertine, Sunday, 29 July 2018 03:03 (seven years ago)
I was born in 1987, so I was raised on p4kcore in the mid-'00s (possibly the low point for the cultural relevance of the EP? the rym chart seems pretty barren if that's any indication), and I first heard the '80s-'90s releases on my list about 10-20 years after the fact. I don't do a lot of my listening on Spotify and Soundcloud and don't listen to a lot of new rap, so the modern incarnation of the EP is also kind of alien to me even though I'm aware of the shift in form/function

A decade later I didn’t even recognize that was me on the opening post. I was reading those like yeah they’re ok but a bit predictable. Ashamed I failed to enlist The Cramps.
