I was listening to Alonzo Bodden the other day talk about jazz and he said something interesting, basically that it takes awhile to figure out what the musicians are trying to tell him in the music. It made me look at music in general in a different light, in that sometimes songs I don't care for eventually come around for me in a weird way. Also those times when a song hits me just right and I can pull little grooves and bits out of the song as the reason I like it so much.
Also I've been trying to get into jazz lately so I totally understand where he's coming from here. Listening to Miles Davis and it's like...I get it, but it's also weird and atonal to a my ear at times.
on the other hand I also got the Yes box set with their early albums in it for free so I've been diving into that stuff. It's hard to dive into an artist with such a large catalog, especially when you have literally three or four songs of knowledge and those span decades.

I've had this driving bass pattern stuck in my head for weeks, certain that it was from a mid-90's Yo La Tengo album. I've been making myself crazy listening to deep cuts and trying to find it when I finally remembered that it was "Olv 26" by Stereolab.
I hadn't listened to Stereolab in years, but that song has just been swirling around in my brain. Funny how music works.
