cutoff and resonance
There was this time a number of years ago when listening to new electronic music was the most captivating thing in the world. I've been listening to some "classics" today, and it took me back to a time when discovering music was exciting. This was before music blogs. This was before streaming internet radio was mainstream. This was before electronic music was completely arranged and generated on PCs and Macs. This was before people stopped doing LSD.
I don't know what I'm trying to say here, and I don't know how to say it without sounding like a grandpa talking to a grandkid. But I just miss the days of getting lost in music. It seems that music is so commoditized now that it's just not a thrill to listen to anymore. It's disposable. It's background music for surfing the stupid web. Even when I purchase an album (CD or digital), it's just not as fun. Maybe that's why vinyl is coming back... playing a record forces you to put a little effort into it, assuring that it has your complete attention.
It's like something's missing.
