Not entirely Crash, but a little. I genuinely do think she’s rotten.

Ah… I just re-read the bollocks that I typed a couple of days ago that led to confusion.

It’s the fact I don’t have enough time to even listen to all the old stuff that I love that has stopped me really looking out for new stuff (not that I’ve given up entirely)

Does that make more sense???

And I do believe the same thing will one day happen to you young man.

You just bunged in that ‘dismal PJ Harvey’ reference because you didn’t get a reaction out of the Cat Power thing.

JC, I’m not sure I quite follow. Can’t listen to new stuff nor old stuff? What are you left with then?

Davy – does that make up for my Dylan fuck up a few weeks back?

Listening to new music is a pleasure, but one of the things I was always afraid of in trying to turn a hobby into a profession (which I haven’t – not even close) was that I might take the fun out of something I loved.

I haven’t done that but I have developed the following rule, which works for me: at work, new music all day and nothing else. At home, only things already established. I know this only works if you can listen to what you want to at work, but it helps me prevent my passion for new things from overwhelming my love for old ones.

Well, string me up and call me a muppet, I never knew that Damon song was done by La Faithfull first.

My increasing inability to listen to older music is one reason why I have begun to slip out of listening to newer music in recent months.

Don’t mock….the same thing will happen to you youngsters in the fullness of time.

i myself was just listening to a mix-tape i’d made two years ago, and it was chock full of songs i’d forgotten i loved.

i think we might be under an unusually heavy onslaught at the moment because it’s january, and so few records were released in december that they’re working overtime right now.
