> >Do you do this? > Unintentionally, most of the time. But yes. I sometimes, subconsciously it seems, just get infatuated with albums or artists that I've heard a lot about but have never properly checked into. Sometimes I resist, other times not.
>Do you think it's healthy for a music fan to do this? > I do. Even if I don't adhere to a strict policy myself.
>Do you hate when people go overboard and try to flaunt their >"eclecticism"? > Yes. And I hate that sometimes I become that person. But I'd like to think I'm the exception — a person who is just genuinely enthusiastic about the music I'm into at the time, as opposed to someone who just drops names for the sake of looking good. No, I've actually sat through Metal Machine Music three or four times, trying to understand it, unfortunately.
>Are you comfortable in your bubble? > Generally, yes. But, like I said initially, the idle gets to me sometimes. I admire good, resonating pop music. But every now and then, I'm like, "Fuck it, turn up to 10 and why bother tuning up?"
>What's your greatest discovery, if you do indulge in this sort >of listening? Probably Sun Ra or the Stooges.
