I just found my music want list from May 21 2001 [thoughts now]

Microstoria Model 3, Step 2 [I think I was really into Oval at the time? weirdly I never got a copy of this]
Captain Beefheart Trout Mask Replica [I probably haven't listened to this since 2005]
Helmet Strap It On [I was loving Aftertaste. I didn't understand then, but now I get Page's jazz background]
Arab Strap Elephant Shoe [George and I went to an Arab Strap show at the Middle East which is still I think the best show of my life. I was deaf in one ear for two days afterwards]
Prince Paul A Prince Among Thieves [Loved Handsome Boy Modeling School, later found this disappointing]
Aerial M Aerial M [Heavy Slint/The For Carnation/Tortoise listening at the time, wanted to get complete, didn't like it]
Piano Magic Anything [I don't know what I meant, since they never released an album with this title.]

Now nothing is on my want list for more than ten seconds.

    Jesus, I bet you’re right. It was a phase, but I think Artist’s Rifles is a respectable album. I looked them up on wikipedia and apparently members came and went, so new Piano Magic doesn’t have much relevance to the old stuff.

    I know! #1 can’t-listen-too-many-memories album for me is Tortoise’s TNT. I don’t think I’ve heard it in four years or something.
