i am on a quest to find new good music. this seems to be hard, seeming im living up here in the boondocks. lately my thing has been listening to string tributes, to pretty much every band i ever liked. it's nostalgic and relaxing, and i feel like i found something new...when i really i haven't. as of the past couple years, i'll always find some band i kind of like then somehow grow out of them. that's kind of depressing. i need something that lasts. i got somewhat into industrial last year, but i guess that tends to lose its novelty after a while. im just bored. all i've listened to all week was old radiohead and modest mouse...that could be either good or bad? blah. i've probably become such a music snob, im very picky. i feel spoiled in a way; mainstream alternative and pretty much every other category of music 10 years ago was so much better than anything that's out there now. it's just very disapointing. music back then was so much more progessive. i have found some things that i like alot, like i love regina spektor, but she'll never have the same impact that tori amos did on me 7 years ago. i think the dresden dolls are cool but i could never just sit and listen to them when im having a bad day. maybe music just seems more exciting when you're a teenager. of course i still love nine inch nails but then again, they're from a different era. elliott smith is probably the best artist to emerge in the past 6 years. nothing will ever replace smashing pumpkins. is everything completely mediocre now, or am i just old?
