Music Head Wrote:why is that a good thing?
You could say I'm past caring who's making the music, or what tabloid fodder they're up to. I find it more exciting to be largely not knowing what I'm listening to. The only reason I ever look nowadays is if I like a track well enough to want it on my portable.
I'm also past caring about things like why Neil Young won't reissue Time Fades Away, or what someone's favourite Jimi Hendrix song is. The adventure of hearing it the first time is most likely to carry the weight for me, not the repeated listenings. For me it's far more interesting to enjoy music happening in the moment than listening to a captured moment.
