"Philipino Box Spring Hog" is a discovery everytime I hear it!!

(to answer the question: since im so young and theres so little that ive actually heard and im making so many discoveries each year and i hear most of it on bastard mp3s anyway im embarrassed and confused as to what ive actually discovered in 2002(transl: What have I discovered in the last year? Half my All-Time Favorites))

I don't know how I made it all the way to 2002 without ever hearing Anton Barbeau (although, it may have something to do with the fact he's on a micro-indie and gets no press).

― TMFTML (TMFTML), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:42 (twenty-three years ago)

A lot of my discoveries this year have been inspired by getting the Anthology of American Folk Music as a Christmas present last year. With that set as my guide, I explored albums by the Carter Family, Uncle Dave Macon, Mississippi John Hurt, and Blind Lemon Jefferson, also Johnny Cash, although he is from a later period. Other discoveries were albums by artists I already liked that I had overlooked: New Morning and Nashville Skyline by Bob Dylan, Hendrix's Band of Gypsys, Light as A Feather and Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy by Chick Corea. But the biggest area of exploration for me this year has been country, folk, and blues.

In 2002, I re-discovered The Melvins and Flaming Lips.

I also finally heard The Cure's early albums. I have had "Standing On A Beach" and some of their later albums, but had checked out the first four.

In 2002, I became pretty obsessive listener of Stars of the Lid and Steve Roach, both of which I first checked out in the later part of 2001.
