It's not a result on any discontent with new music. There's a bunch of new music love and I don't think it has ever been easier to find new music, thanks to technology and alternative media.
It isn't a reflection of the state of music.
It's me.
I've been picking up music I was introduced to as a kid. I saw the movie Tommy when I was 6 with my dad. Tina Turner scared the crap out of me as the acid queen and who could forget Elton John on stilts as the pinball wizard. I still love the movie out of childhood nostalgia, but i love The Who's album version more.
I've been picking up music I missed or had only a superficial appreciation of as a teenager, like The Smiths. I'm addicted and I basically have added their entire collection to my wishlist on Amazon. I did this same thing with The Clash probably 5 years ago.
I've also been picking up early albums by bands I have always loved, like U2. I bought Boy recently and it is now one of my favorite U2 albums. I can't stop listening to Out of Control.
I've been picking up music from mog recommendations, like Harry Nilsson's Nilsson Schmillson.
Maybe I just love discovering the new in old music. Maybe I just love catching up to greatness I missed out the first time around, due to age or my musical ignorance.
One thing is certain. I love music, there's no breaking this habit, and there's no end to finding something new in music to appreciate.
