13. "it's supposed to be fun, not work." In response to In response to 9 Wed Jan-04-12 03:14 PM by Joe Corn Mo
i know how the process works. if i wanted to go out of my way to discover new music, i could.
it would require me to give lots of new artists SEVERAL listens... even if i didn't like it the first time.
it would require me to absorb the aestic of whatever the artist is trying to do.
and over time, i would learn to appreciate the new artists coming out... and i would break out of the "it all sounds the same" trap that it's easy to fall into when a certain type of music is foreign to you.
but here's the rub...
i really don't feel like doing that. i've been through that process before. with serveral different genres of music.
at some point in my life, it was a lot of fun to challenge myself and expand my musical pallate.
but i'm not at that point anymore. not with music, at least.
as far as music goes, i'm conent w/ listening to p-funk albums again and again. (and there's always more p-funk to discover)
at this point, i'd rather just listen to what i already like.
there are lots of areas in my life where i enjoy challenging myself and expanding my horizons.
music is not one of those areas anymore.
like SoWhat said, "i'll live."

EDIT: i never said there was no new music out that was good. i said that it's not my place to decide whether it's good or bad. b/c i hate most of the new music coming out.
i realize that has more to do with me w/ the artist.
