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!?
