A couple of thoughts -
quoted 1 line I know almost instantly if I like it> I know almost instantly if I like it
Are you sure? I think some music immediately draws you in, and some you have to pay close attention to appreciate. I don't think that's a flaw. There can be complexities that you simply don't or cannot notice on a first listen. You mention that FSOL's ISDN transmissions gets better every time you listen to it. A case in point?

I had much narrower tastes when I was younger. Because so much was new to me I could spend a long time just getting the most out of a small range of stuff. As I've got older and got more records, I've needed to branch out more to find the novelty and energy that inspired me as a teenager to pursue my own musical tastes rather than following those of others around me. I still get very excited about a lot of new music. Dan.

I'm definitely that way. There are some albums that I toss in at the store and after the 2nd measure of the first song I know I have to have it. Other discs linger half-listened to for months in my case before I put them in one day and find that I enjoy it more at that moment than I ever had before because my music taste had evolved a bit in that time. I still go back, every now and then, and toss in an old cd but it's actually becoming less frequent that I do that anymore. I guess I'm the type of person that's always more on the look-out for something new.. something that makes my jaw drop. =0riet ===== =========================== syngeneic http://www.waste.org/~oriet syngeneic radio archive http://www.live365.com/stations/250448 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I was thinking that when I read Justin's post, too. Some things like Aphex, Proem or Freeform strike my fancy immediately, while, say, Confield, Muddlin' Gear, and Boku Mo Wakaran all took me quite some time before I liked them. And now they're on my list of albums I'd like to become more intimate with instead of continuing to look for even more stuff that I might like. For me this is all personal and not really important to the list (apologies to andrei) - I mean, I'm not trying to convince others to adopt my listening habits, just expressing that I'm changing mine because I've discovered that I highly value being very intimate with music as opposed to just knowing everything that everyone is talking about. I'll retain an open mind and continue to try new things if my "trusted" sources like this list are talking about something a lot (like Freescha - thank you list for getting me to try them). However, I'm not going to keep trying almost everything that gets mentioned here because A) I just no longer have the time or budget, and B) If I have a lot of music that I like, why look for more stuff that I *might* like when I can just keep listening to what I already know I do like? -Adam PS - you can always just delete me... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
