preference get slower as you get older?...Between the ages of 16 and 22 I would have died for the Pixies,I now hit 25 and I adore B&S.Oh Christ!..when I hit 30 shall I adore Phil Collins?.....Shoot me now.
then dmitri said hmm..i got into the smiths at about 14, mazzy star when i was 16, belle and sebastian at 17, i wonder where this takes me. maybe ill go the opposite way and start listening to rammstein at 20. oh god i hope not >> I used to be much more into punk and harder music in my early teens.. this softening of music as one gets older was thrown in my face the other day when a man came into my store looking for a white zombie video. We were talking about the band and he asked if i was a fan. I said, "erm, well, not really.. i like quieter music, mostly." He asked for specifics, and i told him "Belle and Sebastian". He looked very confused. I suspect he had no idea who they were. Like many Americans. And in fact some Scots, too. A friend was talking to some comrades who were from Glasgow, and she asked them about our little popsters. They said the name "didn't ring a bell". Clever. Travis: thanks for the tape. I got it yesterday, and yours was sent out today. dave +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
