I intend to keep Third Level Digression in place and will log in once in a while to make sure it doesn't get yoinked. Maybe I'll get buyer's remorse in a year and start back up. Since this is ostensibly an entertainment blog, the fact that I'm not consuming much new entertainment makes it harder to be relevant or enthusiastic. The last novel I tore through in a gleeful fever was over four years ago ( Gone Girl, if you're wondering). Modern music interests me slightly (there's still a lot of good stuff being made), but I find I enjoy silence a lot these days.
I'm now a single, middle-aged dude who gets his entertainment primarily from a Roku stick, having cut the cord a few years ago and hitting the theatre only for the odd spectacle. America continues into its "post-truth" phase Lord help us to recover. As predicted a decade ago, companies and commercial sites now dominate the web, and have the audacity to bitch at you if you have an ad-blocker to save your sanity from auto-playing videos. gets updated as frequently as this blog does anymore (she's mostly on twitter now). My life, the world, and the web have all become vastly different from what they were when I started this blog. I've been blogging here for almost a baker's dozen years, and I've had a grand time.

Several amazing albums were released in those three years, with the really huge ones in '77.įWIW, the year Nirvana's Nevermind was released - 1991 - was another banner year for great albums ( Pocket Full of Kryptonite - Spin Doctors, Actung Baby - U2, Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers), but it didn't even come close to 1977. I think as the list proves below, there was something else going on. I wondered if I was just revisiting that sweet spot we all have in our lives when we're finally old enough to control our own album purchases and playlists, or if there was something else going on. I had unconsciously concentrated on those released when I was in high school and had a car. But also, I was casually testing a theory that had fnorked into my head after randomly selecting CDs to play for a few days. I did this because I was avoiding work (or actually, being very productive, but if you'd watched me you'd doubt it - but honest and true, when I'm composing something in my head (my job involves a lot of writing), the distraction of combing through lists of albums is just what pries my thoughts loose). (Just listen to classic rock radio - songs from these albums still dominate.) I spent a lot of time combing through release lists, best-of and best-sellers lists to verify, and here it is. 1977 was the greatest year for album releases ever, and the bookend years made it the best 3 years in music in modern times.
