Sometimes, the hits are hits for a reason. It's not a shame to be a part of something. You don't have to suck the marrow out of every last bone. Even just a taste can be enough.
for food, art, hobbies etc. ! i always derive more pleasure from music that might not be instantly accessible or from films that are not easily digestible, or novelty snacks that might taste weird at first!
the best things in life are the ones that it takes time to understand
It’s ok to be “basic” sometimes. Popular album, songs, and artists are popular for a reason!!! I’m kinda over the whole social judgment of liking very popular stuff. The desperate need to have individually and uniqueness is so exhausting to see, sometimes you can just like stuff because you like it!! Let people like things!!!!
I’m a musician who is totally burned out on self-promotion culture & so far, this website has felt like a reprieve from that. I would like for this to remain a place for sincere appreciation, not promotion
Someone else rec'd Jon Brion's music. That reminded me of this unaired pilot to his potential music TV show, starring Elliott Smith. Beautiful, stripped down versions of songs from Figure 8, XO, & some great covers.
