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?
