Annual Wishlist:
Building off of last month’s posting, here is this month’s suggestions.
This is a topic I’ve thought of over the years. Many of us can agree on what the Golden-Age records are for bands. For those who were engaged in the ’80s outputs by the major bands, there’s a clear dividing line—often the early 1990s. What if we took ALL those post-heyday records and whittled them down to one super album? What would it contain? My first entry into this list is a WIP one on the mighty Slayer. These are organized by album for ease. Anyhow, it’s just an idea. I don’t know if it’s worth double digits in its counter.
Not sure how official this is, but as of today, it’s postable.
Not a science, but it’s an attempt at figuring this all out. Until I make a purely honest take on this, the image following will have to suffice.
Just things on repeat this summer:
2026 Tracks
Older Songs
Granted, this omits many physical/iPod plays over the course of years. Despite this, it’s a kick-ass list that no one can justifiably deny.
To add to the absurdity, Moonsorrow’s average song length resides at over 10 minutes. My top-played song ever, with 230 scrobbles, is over 26 minutes long. Yeah, I love that band.
List of what to look for this year!

Hopeful for the following
Through some strategic planning, this morning I achieved my 10,000th trophy on the Playstation Network – and that trophy was the platinum for Vampire Survivors!
It’s a geeky journey which means little to few…any, really. However, I find it interesting. Some quick stats:
Platinums By Platform
Perhaps more to come.
