I NNED to find new music, new books, new art, new intellectual experience. it si the one thing guaranteed to make me feel alive,. the feeling I get whne I hear a band or a song that I have not heard whether it is old or new, is indescribable. it is like a flodgate of understanding and love, like when I first heard POLVO about 10 years ago. or when I first heard Cornelius about 7 years ago. Or when i first read haruki murakami...
I am firmly in NEED of new music. It is my passion.
the rush I get from falling in love with a song or a band is deep. it is long. it is powerful.
sometimes it comes upon first liste, sometimes u[pon 3rd or 7th listen. I hated PHISh for several years. i was too "pun! punk!" to let myself enjoy it, but when I did it was as if a whole new sonic world opened up to me
sonic youth taught me everything.
