Who sits down and listens to music?

[Flint]

Another question, does anyone have suggestions for great albums/artists released in the last 5 years? 10 years?

Yes! I am consistently posting the new artists I find and love in the music section.

Streaming services like Spotify and Pandora have actually introduced me to a lot of music I wouldn't have known existed in the days before these services existed in the good old days of DJs being the only gatekeeper. A general search entry into Spotify brings up a lot of stuff. Much of the new music which comes up is utter crap, but some things slip through which I like.

Following the channels created by others in Spotify expose a lot of new stuff.

That's gold Huey!

I think you mis-typed - should be "That's OLD Huey!"

Give me a minute, I'll come Bach with a witty comeback.

I'm not sure I can Handel another classical music pun...

I'm laughing so hard I cannot focus on my Chopin Liszt.

I got to spend a lot of time just chilling and listening to music on my phone and Pandora, while at my niece's house.

 

[PaulyT]

Seriously, I hate you all. Except @Wardsweb, he's cool.

You guys crack me up! I think you have to be a smart ass to be a member here and that's a good thing.

Interesting points about making music more accessible. Maybe the question goes back to the point that anyone can make and publish music today. I'll go check out the Music section to find some new and exciting music recommendations.

And it isn't just about new music, I love putting together stations on Pandora for classic 50's / 60's jazz, 60's / 70's rock, female vocals, etc... Whatever fits the mood.

 

[Flint]

Jeeze, pauly! Why arent you Copland with all these nice posts? It ain't Reich.

 

[Flint]

Rock on & off, Pauly!

Ives never seen someone get so Strauss'ed over pithy posts.

Stop it or I'm cancelling the forum host and all its software.

I was enjoying lunch with a good friend today who I don't get to see often enough. Somehow the topic of "alone time" came up and I mentioned my joy in getting to spend an hour here and there listening to music - of course being single in a huge home makes it easy to do now - he said that with three kids and a stressed out wife he doesn't ever get to listen to music anymore. That made me sad. Then he said that the only time he really even hears music now is when he turned on the radio in his car and he absolutely hates what is playing on the local rock stations.

I feel bad for my friend.
