I keep becoming more aware that I've not really listened to new music much, or even been aware of it, for most of the last 5-6 years. And it annoys me. Because I did have a decent amount of musical credibility ten years ago. And I do have these moments when I'm in the mood for listening to new things to me, and I miss listening to actually new stuff, as opposed to checking out something from a decade or few back I missed.
I suppose this is just another way of saying "growing old is scary".
(Of course, one change is that I've been reading a lot more the last eight years or so. And the question of how much I would willingly compromise new books for new (to me) music is one I don't know the answer to and don't want to think about too hard because it would scare me. Also, I listen to too many podcasts now.)
