I didn't put it like that. It was dale. But used the Adele experience as an example of the general idea not as a point of pride. I'm not proud of not knowing Adele. Nor am I sad by it. I just don't give a fuck.

Would you say I am a ubiquitous listener though? I mean I learned about Lady Gaga from SYTYCD remember - http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=17&topic_id=136254&mesg_id=136254&listing_type=search

But how often do you see me bringing up the latest pop sensation? Shit I know you've seen if not been in posts where I do my art vs. entertainment thing. You have to know my lane. Would you be shocked if Jakob said he never heard Adele?

Which goes back to the incidental nature of how I might have heard her voice but have no means of associating it with who it is.

uhhhh... maybe... i dunno... LOL!

>keywords: i dunno.

Think about it like this though... I haven't even heard that Common "Sweet" song, and probably never will. If it weren't for Lyle's obsession I would have never heard any of Take Care or one single Lil' B song. I heard more Britney Spears in 2011 than ever before. Not because she had the hottest joints that year, but because someone in my sphere of influence shared them with me.

It's not that I'm trying to actively avoid hearing her or some shit, its just that she hasn't become a must listen to on my radar despite whatever acclaim she's reached.
