The Rise and Fall of Me and Music.
Something crazy happened this summer. I came to the realization that I really don't listen to as much new music as I should. I've had conversations with my friend Nathan about new music. We'd say that we wouldn't stop listening to new music. Nathan hasn't, but I have. It happened by accident. Mainly because my radio broke. I guess I could listen to internet radio.
I find that I am slowly starting to become less interested in new music. I was checking out my CD collection and I noticed that I haven't bought a new CD since 2007. There is something special about buying a new CD. And I'm not talking about getting it though iTunes or another digital service.
I went to Best Buy the other day trying to find something new that I would be interested in. So what do I do? I end up buying a Bob Dylan CD. It wasn't anything recent. It was Highway 61 Revisited. For those of you that don't know about that album, it was released in 1965.
This being said, do you have any recommendations that can help me get back on track? Let me know.

Stay away from KROQ or the other crappy pop stations, their version of *new* music is poison.
I would suggest to browse via Pandora or even thesixtyone.com to browse for new (I consider "new" to be something I haven't heard before, not just the year it was released).
Also, browsing for music at Best Buy just doesn't do it for me, I miss the middle earths of the world, you know the cool places to hang and browse, but I guess we have Itunes to blame for their death.
Good Luck Chris.

I guess my biggest problem with the mainstream stations like KROQ is they often do play good bands you've been listening to and BEAT THEM INTO THE GROUND. I don't like wading through the crap to hear the one or two good songs.
I also don't like being stuck in the past with music but I hate that most of the stuff that gets pushed is really not that great and often only succeeds because of the big corporation with payola behind them to push.
It's sad, music should be about talent and not just who can be promoted the best/played the most.
"cuz tonight's gonna be ah good good night..." really?
