What are you listening to? May 2020

[axolotl]

I stand by my rating. I just have been exposed to so much new music in the last few years that it got lost in the forest.

Hear. Hear.

Been there, done that. Repeatedly.

Been there, done that. Repeatedly.

I take that as a sign that there is much great music out there, and we can't possibly listen to it all more than a handful of times.

That's both sad and joyous.

At least, that's my take on it.

Yes, but how much music is great, but I'll never find out because I didn't listen to it enough?

My powers of discernment are such that I often have to listen to something a number of times to accurately gauge it.

Aye. That's the rub.

I probably shouldn't immediately take this to an absurd argument, but to me, it's more of (1) is the glass half-empty, (2) is the glass-half-full, (3) hey what's in the glass and is it refillable? rationalization.
