I sometimes feel there's too much good music out there. It's overwhelming, so I just go back to the music I know.

I actually manage to listen to quite a lot of new music. My job kind of allows me to engage that particular hobby. I agree, there's tons of good stuff out there.
I've started my 'summer reading' with David Cavanagh's book on John Peel. I really enjoyed this:
But he was much more than a composite of his radio heroes. He was wordy, but they were his words and not Arlott's or Vaughan-Thomas's. He never ranted and raved like Wolfman Jack or piled up the catchphrases like Alan Freeman. Unlike Lyttelton and Clayton, he had a fallibility that belied his easy command of the microphone. He started records at the wrong speed, blew his nose as songs were ending and flapped around looking for mislaid pieces of paper that had been there a minute ago. He once played a whole album by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno backwards without noticing. Many Peel fans found these foibles enormously endearing.

There's a thread for this love but I understand how it can spill over.

So I just downloaded Rumours by Fleetwood Mac because I've never heard it. I got to "Dreams" and was immediately bowled over - this is EXACTLY the song I have been looking for forever. I don't even know how to describe it right now. Something about the quiet sound, the slick production, the smooth bass, the vocals, the tempo, everything. Man.
