“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, ... winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

– Newsweek, “A Cult of Ignorance,” Isaac Asimov, January 21, 1980

Imagine being there that night.

This was my 2002 late-night study album.

I think you'll see an over-representation of the winter run this year, as you did with the Cap run last year.

That trend becomes more obvious when you drill into later rounds. Here's the non-normalized Final Four:

Oh, geez. We're already doing this #JOTY #goosery?

Here's the raw and normalized numbers of contenders by month-played by year.

The second normalized chart divides by number of shows played each month x year — since June has more shows than, say, March.

Angeleno and Dodger fan, long skeptical of Kershaw. That was brutal. He’s done.

7̶ɯ0ᴚ9 @6r0m7.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely! One of my favorite versions.

Interesting. For me, there’s a renewed sense of energy and set-building storytelling beginning around 23. I’m much more a jazz and blues guy than dance (or whatever it is), but I love the recent “take no prisoners”/“no quarter” ethos.

Either way, as another man seasoned in cloud-yelling: 🫡

I never stopped listening to those really rich early years! But, as I started my career and parenthood, I traveled less and took in more local music (especially at jazz clubs). I also fell deep down the rabbit hole of 70s Dead.

Always been polyjamorous. #B4L doesn't mean "ONLY LISTEN TO BISCO!?!"

Engagement bait or earnest?

As someone who devoured 99-03 before life and other music detoured me, I honestly had a lot of trouble occasionally dipping into about 06–18. Felt very meh.

That started tipping the other way in 19, and they’re on an absolute tear now.

Renaissance Bisco is straight 🔥.
