I’ve been thinking about how I want to write this post, how I want to convert the thoughts and conversations I’ve already had about it into something coherent, and I’ve ultimately decided that less is more. Those thoughts and conversations were coherent enough for me when I had them, and they can be coherent enoughContinue reading “Back, More English!”

No More English! (for three months)
I’m gonna be living in Taiwan for the next three months. I’ll be studying Mandarin. I’m super excited, and I’m determined to make the most of it. I want to develop some competence with the language, I want to develop some competence with the culture, and in general I just really want to do aContinue reading “No More English!

New FAQ page
Pretty much what’s on the tin. A new page with FAQs. I’ll be updating it more at need, but I think I’ve got some good essential info in there to start off for now.
Formalizing RELISTENS (aka Formalizing EDITS take two)
Let’s try this again, shall we? I started formally keeping track of my edits, my EDITS, a while back, and that was great, that was the right call. It was so much the right call, in fact, that I realized I needed to be even more formal and procedural with my editing process. I realizedContinue reading “Formalizing RELISTENS (aka Formalizing EDITS take two)”
Formalizing EDITS
Until now, I’ve made my edits and adjustments opaquely and without any amount of formality. Which is good, because it helps me avoid getting too locked into an initial impression and because it makes it easier for me to do useful work. But it’s bad because it means I keep a less thorough record andContinue reading “Formalizing EDITS”
A Revamp

I noticed how many artists were being funneled into B-, noticed how I still had never used the D or F tiers, noticed how I mostly avoided C tier. I’d been putting everybody I didn’t like into C-Tier, and if somebody didn’t offendContinue reading “A Revamp”
A History
I’ve decided to make a post each time I update The List with a new artist. Nothing much, just artist, rank, and which number artist they are as I’ve ranked them, chronologically. This makes me feel like I’m doing more on this site, yes, but I think more importantly it gives me a record, aContinue reading “A History”
Triple Digits!
I’m just excited and proud of myself, is all. One hundred artists ranked! That’s 100, one-zero-zero, folks! I’ve been consistently working on this project every day for the last year now (a little longer), though I started it less officially a month or two (or something) before that. I’ve since listened to a loooooot ofContinue reading “Triple Digits!”
