shooter69:It sounds like (forgive the pun) you need to rediscover your love for music!
Perhaps, but I'm now questioning whether I've ever had a love of music or was it just a mild "like"?
I must say leaving the latest Hot Chip LP in its rapper and not having the enthusiasm to listen to it may mean it's really not your thing.
Well, I bought it because I heard One Life Stand and enjoyed it, so I thought I'd check it out (it was only £7.99 in HMV, so seemed worth a punt).
Or your just being lazy.
It could well be, but I think there's more to it than that, I think, not having heard anything else on the album I'm reluctant to try it out in case I discover I've wasted my money.
If it's as good as the first album then you'll be in for a treat.
Ah, good, well that's encouraging, perhaps I'll put it in the car and listen to it tomorrow. Actually thinking about it it's in the door of the car now, I put it in to listen to when we drove down to Cornwall last week and never got round to it
I'm listening to The Doors at the moment which i picked up yesterday and i couldn't wait to get it on this morning.
I went through a bit of a Doors period some time back, although it largely consisted of buying a greatest hits tape and listening to that pretty constantly, it's passed into what I think of as part of my general subconscious, where I'm so familiar with the sounds that I don't really have to listen to it anymore, there's a few different things in there. Next do quite a cool Doors t-shirt at the moment incidentally, although being Next it's a stupid amount of money!
Back to your love of music, maybe a weekend at a festival (or a day at least), most of them cater for all type's of music even orchestral stuff at some. Could that get excitement back?
I'd love it if you were right but the idea of festivals leaves me cold (I suspect it's the camping though to be frank), I almost considered going to Bestival last year because I liked the idea of about 10% of the line-up but managed to prevaricate my way out of it, the missus' kids go to a couple every year and I know she'd love to go but I always manage to find an excuse not to (Sorry dear, but I'm intending to have a wash that weekend...). I went to the original V festival (1995?) and I've never been so bored in my entire life, even back then as Radio 1's target audience I didn't like any of the bands in the line-up, apart from Gary Numan and he doesn't play Cars anymore! That seems to have set my mindset ever since.
I know there MUST be stuff out there I like, I've found it before on at least two occasions but where do you start? I wish Sonos would get on with their Spotify integration, that would probably help a lot! Is it still invite only?
