Difference between not border policing and pretending you're a totally unbiased all gates open listener in the face of clear evidence to the contrary IIRC

Oh no, I'm definitely not that, believe me, you wouldn't believe some of the things Ive heard in the last couple of weeks!

I wish i could get out of my comfort zone. Want to be blown away by something NEW but nothing doing whenever i listen i just feel let down. I dont think im close minded but maybe i am with new music? (new as in current not new styles)
as nakh says 90% of my listening appears to people as metal but that is because i feel it is offering something new whilst rock/indie/electronic stuff that was always my bread and butter hasnt been offering as much to ME in recent years. I know these things can change as I went off metal in the late 90s and things turn around and good things can start happening again. As long as I keep looking. I'd hate to be one of those people who only likes old music.

NB i don't think it's important to follow scenes or listen to dj sets in fact its often really boring i think dog latin missed my pt upthread, all i meant was its fun to talk in a reductive way about music & culture more generally― flopson, Monday, February 2, 2015 6:10 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalinkalso people who are like i don't see colour I ain't got no type are usually kidding themselves a bit.I'll happily admit that given my taste in music and general ~listening history~ I think about music in fairly predictable ways.― Tim F, Monday, February 2, 2015 8:05 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Bit past the point now, but for the record, yes I'm agreeing with both these points.

This Steve Gunn album is pretty good.

It is! I'd recommend his album "Time Off" slightly above that one though. Both are fantastic.
