While it's harder to gain an appreciation for a great album these days, I feel like the access to so much music makes it so much easier to gain an appreciation for many more artists.

Ugh, I YouTubed that Chvrches song and made the mistake of scrolling down to the comments. YouTube comments may be the worst that humanity has to offer.

Re: Best Decade Tournament 2000s: Sign up
Here's where I lean more toward the kind of person Lament hates. Not because I disagree, but because I just don't know. The only albums I've purchased (outside of The Mynabirds) have been by artists that I already know. And I'm genuinely sorry about that.Lament wrote:They really have been.numbers wrote:Yeah, that tourney should be fun. The last 3 or 4 years have been great for music.
But I'm on the mend. Lily and Madeline and St. Vincent have been two HUGE additions to my personal collection recently. And I'm looking forward to finding some bright gems.

Not gonna lie, I have been that guy privately. I would never say something to a DJ. But I've left a bar/club because I couldn't stand the stuff they were spinning. But not specifically BECAUSE it was new. There's a lot of new shit I like. This was just awful.Lament wrote:I just turned thirty-three, and I live in Orlando now.BigRedLedbetter wrote:Curious how old you are and where you live?Lament wrote:You have no idea how often I have people in our general age range ask me some variation of "Oh God, you have to play NEW music at the club?

When were you here though? I did the first six months of the night (July 2011-December 2011) before they moved me over to their Tampa club full-time, and then I took it over again when I came back in January of this year.ABNorman wrote:Lament wrote:That's one of my nights!![]()
