Otto Matta Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 D-Dave - I wouldn't be surprised if there were a million other types of music out there that I and others would probably really like, but I compare the dilemma to book lovers: I LOVE great literature, and a handful of certain authors in a certain few genres. Meanwhile, I hate being in the middle of a library with a boundless assortment of reading material. It's simply overwhelming to me somehow. I prefer having an idea of what I want before I even enter a library or a bookstore so that I can go right to the material itself, check it out/buy it, then leave - happy. At the same time, I've encountered people who really enjoy spending hours upon hours digging through dusty books in a library or bookstore (generally a used book store), looking for nothing in particular but the general feeling of bliss that accompanies a thorough drowning in assorted texts. Seems that, concerning music, you're the latter type who, among others, loves to immerse oneself in ones general resources. My type, on the other hand, feels safe going deep into one's established favorites only, making outside discoveries slowly and almost always by mistake. Either type is fine, in my opinion. Again, like I told Melkiades, it appears to be a psychological wiring thing, and therefore, undeserving of criticism of any kind; each type feels the other is missing out somehow (if not closed-minded), and each feels happy about one's learnings and listening. Furthermore, I get the feeling that the latter type is a hell of a lot more common here. This is a horribly specialized site, dedicated to an incredibly slim frequency in the spectrum of music. The more time one spends here, the more musically un-experimental one is, by definition (i.e., for me to be writing this much to one person in one little space on a site dedicated to only one small style of music is inherently obsessive). This is what I was trying to get across to Melkiades, in not so many words. Take it easy, man. EA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
