Music…. Who listens to this stuff?

16. November 2004 | Category Personal

I’ve always wondered who listens to the type of odd music you maybe hear all about for a few weeks in the mainstream media, but after the 15 minutes of glory are burned out, you never hear from again. Is there a cool music listening clic that can afford to listen to everything just a tad out of the mainstream? Checking out Audioscrobbler charts, sure I’ve heard of most of these artists, but I’m not sure I’ve listened to nearly half of these acts.

I may have been brainwashed by the hype that the popular music of the day gets and the way it is drilled a dozen times a day, so that after listening to the same radio station for any constant length of time, you almost need to change stations/formats to avoid the constant monotonous drone of the same old songs.

Sure I listen to some none mainstream artists too, but none ever seem to be as cool as Modest Mouse or Coldplay. But they’re no Catatonia, Lucinda Williams or Kasey Chambers.

Maybe it’s just a personal preference and I personally don’t like everything everyone else does. Blasphemy huh?
