The whole 'not being able to get pleasure from things you love' thing. It's not just music - I don't follow my football team, enjoy riding my bike along the river, having a bbq etc. Anyway I'll stop my first world sulking. Some people don't own a bike or a bbq.<br /><br />Jump Blues, Bo Diddley, Forbidden Planet OST, Vladimimir Ussachevsky, BBC Radiophonic Music, The Shangri-Las, Something Else, Trout Mask Replica, Stand, Fly etc. weren't made for 'me' (I wasn't born) but I still love em.<br /><br />So.....I dunno....

Having teenage children makes me prone to sudden bursts of unsubstantiated bursts of enthusiasm about songs/artists, which just as quickly evaporate, leaving me scratching my head. Also troubled by default misogyny, especially when parroted by son. Agree with Simon, it's partly age. Is this stuff made for 'us' anyway?Bobby's Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372809080319268113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280197508368908020.post-80690308885157460252017-06-23T15:10:27.587+10:002017-06-23T15:10:27.587+10:00I checked out Dust from Laurel Halo.

It feels like a progression from those woozy early recordings of Nite Jewel, Maria Minerva etc. of 6 or 7 years ago. <br /><br />Wow I've listened to 2 new records in a week!Tim 'Space Debris' https://www.blogger.com/profile/11182952223658140228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280197508368908020.post-1683516889985066072017-06-21T03:06:55.320+10:002017-06-21T03:06:55.320+10:00However I would say the new laurel halo album is r...However I would say the new laurel halo album is reallly worth a listen - strange vocal stuffSIMON REYNOLDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282478701882900354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280197508368908020.post-42442563617489444072017-06-21T03:02:36.740+10:002017-06-21T03:02:36.740+10:00It's partly age.

In the U.K there was this thing Grime 4 Corbyn, but in all honesty it's Corbyn making grime look cool not the other way round. (Grime is fifteen years old, it beats me how anyone could get excited by it at this point). Appetite naturally diminishes with age as you already have a LOT under your belt, also your ability to be astonished dims. But it is also the declining status of music in the scheme of things. So much has already been done in its history, what need do any of us have for more "good" or "interesting" music in our lives? That said, I have been paying more attention than you (it's me job) and you are not missing much. Seems like a wan time.SIMON REYNOLDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282478701882900354noreply@blogger.com
