Today’s Random Album of the Day is Different Section Wires from Uzeda. Uzeda was a noise rock / math rock band from Sicily, Italy and they are fantastic!
This record is notable for a few reasons. It has awesome guitar riffs, stupendous bass lines, excellent vocals, and it’s just an overall treat. Turn it up loud and dance to it kind of music. I wish I could still dance! I had this on vinyl going back to the 1990s and my biggest issue was always moving too much and causing it to skip.
Rating: 9.9
Favorite Track(s): “Big Lies” opens it up with intensity. “Female” carries that forward with some art-rock styles. “The Milky Way” is so good! And “Ten Stars” continues that. There isn’t a bad song on this album. But this one does stand out! Realy though I just love the whole album!
Keep or Trash: Keep. I will cut anyone who tries to take away my Uzeda!
Background
Every day, or nearly every day anyhow, I will randomly select an album from my collection of digital music, listen to it, and share it here. – Jayne
My wife and I are board gamers and we gamify nearly everything in life. This includes our music listening. We use a dice catapult to roll dice and then use the dice results to pick our vinyl listens. So why not do something similar for the blog?
I have made the randomizer table I use for picking the album of the day available! What? It’s a simple table but uses some weird dice. If you are not familiar, if you say D30 that means a 30 sided die. These are the dice the randomizer table uses: D30, D4, D8, D10, D12, D14, and D20. The D14 and D30 are unique but you can buy cheap packs of dice with those in them off the internet.
The basic steps are to 1) roll the D30. That picks the starting letter or if it’s a number. 2) Then use the chart roll the die associated with the first letter to pick the second letter. If you get “Other” that means numbers or some other weird character. If none of those exist re-roll. 3) Once you have the second letter you can use that to roll for a third letter if needed. 4) That should get you down to a few artists and from there you pick dice based on the number of artists. 5) finally for the artist selected you roll a die for the number of albums listed. Then you have your Random Album to listen to….
