the bands i don't know anything about i don't care about.

but i know there are a billion bands i'm really missing out on. and i still don't care. i'll find them eventually. and when i do i'll learn everything there is to know.

i haven't listened to any music at all in about a month or so.

Wrong, an arcwelder is an electric welder. Arcwelder, the band,
were around long before the Neil Young albums were released.

I'm shocked with these lists.
